Boulder you're right I was talking about the 7 footer HolstI think you are talking about Holst ... Blair is a SF that is pretty skilled and a very very good Baseball players ..
Nwanko isn't a guard right? You are downplaying forsythe. Dude is going to be a beast. I hope he doesn't start. Bc that would mean we added serious talentlol, stop. Dayton isn't starting over Nwankwo.
Pack and Dayton starting, might as well just give the other team 2 points every time they possess it.
How is Nwankwo not a guard? I guess you could call him a small forward, but he is going to play minutes as the 3. He could play some 4 when we go small.Nwanko isn't a guard right?

What do you know about nwanko's defense? Nothing? Nwanko might be a guard. Well see. He got nice boards. But juco you can almost throw everything out..How is Nwankwo not a guard? I guess you could call him a small forward, but he is going to play minutes as the 3. He could play some 4 when we go small.
I think the Dayton hype train is a little out of control. He'll score some, but he is an absolute liability on defense right now. As is Pack. THAT was the point I made about starting the two next to each other. You can't do that.
I have to think, as of right now, the plan is to start Pack at point guard and have Dayton back him up. If Dayton can't play point (yes, I know he can get minutes at the 2 as well), he loses even more value.
All the talk on this board about size, athleticism, and defense, and Dayton is going to be the stand out? A guy that doesn't have good size, good athleticism, or play good defense? I don't get it. Dude had two good offensive games all season. Let him develop.
OU views him very much like moore .... but a little more of a wing ... he is a 3/4 ..How is Nwankwo not a guard? I guess you could call him a small forward, but he is going to play minutes as the 3. He could play some 4 when we go small.

If they viewed him remotely as a fully time 4, we'd be done recruiting 4's. The fact that we still are tells you where Nwankwo is likely to get his minutes as of now.OU views him very much like moore .... but a little more of a wing ... he is a 3/4 ..
We're just going to have to agree to disagree for now.I think forsythe has plenty of quickness and speed to play good defense. I think the comments that he couldn't defend was the thing that was blown out of proportion.. to me it looks like dayton has plenty of athleticism. I mean he blew by guys all year in the SEC. He is shorter for sure. I'm sure forsythe has been counted out his whole career for obvious reasons.. and with that, comes a junkyard mentality normally. We will wait and see. But no one on here is saying that he's going to be all conference or anything so I'm thinking your the only saying that people are overrating him
Best case I think you hope we get a guy like Lindsay, and maybe another Center.I'm guessing that as of now the starting lineup looks like Pack/Jones/Nwankwo/Davis/Wague. Assuming he's healthy, Jones at the 2 makes a lot more sense than Dayton in my opinion and that lineup gives us a lot of size and athleticism
he is coming off a major injury and has never played at this level ... you don't put all of your eggs in that basket ..If they viewed him remotely as a fully time 4, we'd be done recruiting 4's. The fact that we still are tells you where Nwankwo is likely to get his minutes as of now.
He's a 3 that can play the 4 if we go small. But Porter wants to rebound better. You don't do that playing Nwankwo at the 4 for extended periods of time.
JMO.
We may see things slightly differently, which is totally cool this far out, but I have a hard time imagining Pack and Lindsay on the court together. Both of them are open doors on the defensive end. Especially with Davis not offering you much on that side of the ball either. In an ideal world, let's assume we get Lindsay and Campbell (which I believe Coach may have alluded to in the portal thread, not to put words in his mouth). I think it looks something like this:Best case I think you hope we get a guy like Lindsay, and maybe another Center.
PG - Pack / Forsythe
SG - "Lindsay" / "Portal"
OG - Jones / Nwankwo / Atak
PF - Davis / Nwankwo
C - Wague / "Portal" / Rodgers
Ten different players above. Two below. I think they need a kid like Lindsay, and possibly another guard that can back them up and maybe play the point some. Depending on how much they want to play Nwankwo at the 3, another true 4 wouldn't hurt either. That would improve guard (1-3) depth too.
Won't play much - Blair / Holst
But rumor on the street is he can't recruit or evaluate talent.Moser is putting together a salty roster!
