This one really hurts a lot.
The one dude that really knew how to play basketball and was fun to watch because he just gets it. This one saddens me.
McLeod is like Chukwu if Chukwu was pretty worthless. And I wasn't a big Chukwu fan.

If Mintz is back.... Red gets next year to make it to tourney or he needs to go. IF Mintz is back.
If Mintz is back, it's Mintz' offense again. Now, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. But it's the Judah show.
And to your point, then it's the tourney or find someone new.
if Mintz is back I’m watching and rooting for Colgate this year.

Its funny because I've been watching this tourney trying to find equivalents on these winning teams for Bell, Judah, and JJ. JJ - I guess like Casey Morsell for NC State? Just a guy. He scores sometimes. Can hit 3s. Not great D, but still better than JJ. Bell - Mason Gillis for Purdue, plays 15-20. Can hit some 3s then you take him out, again, still much better D than Bell, but he's not great Judah - No one. Literally no one on a winning team plays like him. I actually hope Judah leaves. Certainly there’s at least a John Gillon type guy available that can make us better? Seems like guards are a dime a dozen, can’t be said about front court players.

I’m in the portal to not giving a fuck about any of this. What a waste of time.

Then let’s just play small ball. Tennessee had 11 guards and five forwards on their roster. Just go get dudes that can play and are coachable. Hard nosed ball players. Shit I’d take a starting lineup of 5 Devendorf’s and bet we’d win a lot of games.

Of course Helen Lovejoy won’t someone please think of the children aka Cherie is dunking on us because this is happening because GMac left and Taylor left.
Jim Boeheim doesn’t get enough shit for burning the program down because of people like her.

Appreciate Dasher's info, but after getting sold that JJ would be a massive upgrade at the 2 I'm not buying it with Eddie Lampkin. He's a big body who does things worse than Maliq except he has a few post moves.

This is one scenario where I would be happy they beat us.

Lampkin is better than McCloud. He can score and rebound. Can he play D?

He's a big body who does things worse than Maliq except he has a few post moves. He would be prob our best low post threat since Rak I guess? It's not all bad. But with how bad Bell and JJ are on D, I worry that this is becoming the All City Rocks Team Part 2. He doesn't block shots. His DBPM on a TOURNEY team was by far the lowest of any starter at 0.8. For reference, Justin Taylor was 1.1 and Bell was 0.0 and usually big men have their DBPM's skewed due to blocks. I love the size though. Not a stick man.

If we are choosing Lampkin/Bell/Freeman over Maliq like some are inferring on the fan then Red has lost a lot of equity with me.
