Some discussions on the board regarding who posters would like to see here next year. Thought I would put down a starting 5 and a second team and round it out with the last 3 scholarships. Depending on matchups, this prediction could change, but here goes:

1- Juco/Portal
2- Malachi
3- Luke
4-Kendall
5- Juco/Portal

Second group:
1-Kinzinger
2- Burford
3- Pence
4- Juco/Portal
5- Walker

Last three scholarships—no particular order:
McChesney
Sissoko
Juco/Portal

Thoughts?

Miscellaneous thoughts outside of roster construction. We have to get faster and we have to get stronger. Our athleticism and strength are not only bottom-tier of our league, it would be bottom-tier in the majority of conferences. We are slow and we are weak. It needs to be addressed.

We have to stop fouling. We have to defend inside the perimeter. The biggest non-negotiable is not turning the basketball over when you aren’t pressured. We are 352/363 in the country in non-steal turnovers. Stop throwing the basketball out of bounds. Stop misreading cuts and giving away possession because you panic and throw it where a guy used to be. 41% of our shots come from three and we shoot 33%.

Quite honestly, I think the system we are running on both offense and defense needs to be address and reviewed and changed to fit personnel. We are below the D1 average in almost every statistical category. I get that we want the roster to improve, but if it only does marginally we can’t run the systems we are running now and expect improvement.

It looks like you both said about the same thing. Keep 6 and find 7 new guys.
Will also be replacing @ least six after the 2023-24 season.

Poindexter
Burford
Kasubke
Lewis
McChesney
Sissoko
Andrews (if he remains this year)

We know for sure that we will have a completely new roster after the 2023-24 season. Only the 2023 recruits and (eligible) transfers will remain.

Not accurate. The first three have three years of eligibility left.

Do you really think the all those players are going to be back? 6-9 are going to enter the portable if history serves as a guild. No player wants to stay in a low level team or conference. Also, going to think 2 of the verbals will back out due to the mediocrity of the team and play.

Here is my understanding of eligibility of scholarship players who are able to return.

Player18-1919-2020-2121-2222-2323-2424-2525-26
Luke KasubkeNANAK StateK StateILSTEligibleEligibleNO

*Played in 3 games before seasoning ending injury, possible medical RS

** Played in 2 games before season-ending injury, possible medical RS

If Kotov and McChesney were granted a medical RS, then they both have an additional year as referenced by "maybe" in the chart.

Do you really think anyone we have can do better than the MVC and get playing time??

I think KL could playing for a team that needs an experienced role player. Besides him, I don’t think anyone would be attractive to a “bigger” school at this point with any meaningful time. People could get there though.

If 6 to 9 enter the portable none of them may get an offer because other schools will be monitoring the transfer PORTAL. Also, I'm not sure that history has ever served as a guild.
