anyone watch the post game locker room video where Brandon Ashley and TJ both say how good Kadeem Allen is and how great a player he is going to be next year?

Great to hear but what are we going to do with all these shooting guards next year

You know what let's worry about that in May

Can't wait to see this kid play.

What are we going to do with 'em? Just win, baby.

PJC/York/Allen/Anderson/Rabb sounds really nice to me next season. Add Pitts, Trier and a sprinkling of Smith and Simon off the bench and enjoy the ride.

Next years team won't be near as big as this years, but we will have shooters and scorers everywhere you look.

Additionally, we'll have lots a fouls to give.

It will be fun to see if Miller does what Lute did and reworks his offense and style to the personnel he had.

Zeus, Ristic & hopefully Raab, the front court will be fine.

Irish,

Getting Rabb and keeping Tarc for another year would be a dream.

I don't think Tarc is staying.

49,

I think his hand will be forced to some extent. He's going to have to let the horses run at some point. I love good D, but Lutes great offensive teams were simply stunning to watch and appreciate.

They would literally run the other team off the floor.

Yeah, I see a lot more press next season like what beat Miami two seasons ago.

Offensively, look for a ton more back cuts and screens for baseline threes. Keeping Zeus would be miraculous, but at this point it would be enough to just get Rabb.

Interesting quote in the GHansen article

“He’s always the other team’s best player and it’s really an advantage for us,” said Kaleb Tarczewski. “He knows how to attack. He’s a beast: he’s physical, he can get to the rim, move with the ball and is a great athlete. I certainly want to play with him next year.”

I might be in the minority here, but I think Zeus stays.

I agree

Well if Tarc said that about Allen, then why is there so much consternation about him leaving.

If Tarc really loves college and he plans on staying for his final year, why not just say so.

A hell of a lot smarter and more connected people than me that hang out around here think that the big man is gone. Seeing him say he wants to play with Allen next year is the first time I've seen anything that paints that type of picture.

I would love to see a Tarc, Rabb, Ristic and Anderson front line if it were to happen.

I'm torn. I think he wants to go but unless goes off for 15/10/3(blocks) the next 3 or so games he most likely isn't getting drafted. Best case some late late 2nd round team picks him and puts him in the d league or on the practice squad. But if he comes back we may not get rabb

Rabb probably being a one and done, I would rather have Zeus for his senior year than one year of Rabb. I think just about all of us feel that way. Dusan has shown a lot of promise on a crowded front court and he is going to take a big jump next year. Some people are forgetting about how big Anderson will be for us, good chance he will be our best player next year. Lot of depth in the backcourt, we will see how it plays out. I see a lot of three guard lineups, wish we could turn the tempo up and let the horses go but that probably wont happen. Excited to see Kadeem.

Quick question. is the rooster limit 15 players? And if so can you dress all 15 for a game?

There's 14 scholarship players, and some walk ons dress. I think the UA has 3 for home games, but only 15 total can travel.

He sure isn't going to the NBA.

Tarc is on the draft charts, unlike Ashley.

Then again, I didn't think Solomon Hill or Nick Johnson would get drafted.

Shows how much I know.

Dear Players,

Defense. Rebounding. Screening. Good shots.

"What, me rebound? I'm a guard!"

Even moreso next year in three-guard alignments. That's the ticket to playing time. Or, you can roll the dice by thinking Miller will tailor the team to you. Good luck with that.
