The amount of talent on this roster is pretty crazy. No one touches TSJ, but top-to-bottom, this year's team is definitely more talented than last year's squad. And we are obligated to state that it doesn't mean this team is going to be better than last year's team. But you've got 10 guys who could start for 100+ teams. Maybe 200+? 🤔

Riley is the highest ranked player we’ve ever had commit. He might not TSJ from day 1, but they’re saying the guard from Lithuania is a 1st draft pick.

The only thing I feel certain about is Brad Underwood is going to play the guys he thinks gives him the best chance of winning. If any player thinks they're entitled to floor time on an Underwood team, they're coming to the wrong program.

Boz/ Kasparas Ty / DGL Riley / White Humrichous / Booth Morez/ Big T They all split minutes. Great roster.

@nickpeacock1896 5 ай бұрын

Kasparas coming off the bench is crazy. He’s gotta start. Boswell Kas Riley Morez Ivisic Or Tre/Ty instead of Ivisic if you want to play small ball.

It will likely sort itself out come November. There is also a good chance that Brad is able to run with the hot hand/matchup on a game-to-game basis. It's not the worst thing in the world to be able to play (in theory) 8 or 9 guys 20+ minutes a game instead of relying on 3 guys playing 35+. It will be fascinating to see unfold.

@averycardoso9713 5 ай бұрын

Great take and I genuinely think that can help them look at UConn winning b2b they were able to play 8/10 players a game n ride the hot hand. I mite b making a crazy comparison but it’s similar in my eyes

@@chrisshort6966 like I said, I think there will be multiple different starting lineups throughout the season and Ty very well may be in one of them, all of them or none of them. If he can be a wing defensively and always have 4 shooters around him offensively then I like his chances

Brad doesn't care who he starts he has gone on record saying so , he is more worried about who is on the court at the end of games

@calebdamery1455 5 ай бұрын

I like the lineup of Bos, Riley, Tre, Ben, and Morez. Lot of scoring potential there. Then off the bench you can play ty and tommy together in the second unit. Eliminates putting the 5 on ty with a big that can shoot. Then KJ backup the 1 DGL backup 2 ty backup 3 booth backup 4 and tommy v backup 5. That's a lot of talent on both lines

@UR_Right24 5 ай бұрын

No. Should be Boz, KJ, Riley, Hum, and Tom (or) that same lineup but put Morez at the 4 instead of Hum. No way a 6'9 freshman Morez starts at the 5 over a more experienced 7'1 Tom, and no way Tre is on a starting rotation if they get Riley. Hum is better than Tre anyway.

@nickpeacock1896 5 ай бұрын

I agree that Kas, Boswell and Riley should be shoe ins to start. I like Morez at the 4 due to his athleticism along with Ivisic at the 5. Brad likes to go small ball so I could see him starting Morez at the 5 and Tre or Ben at the 4.

@snapon29 5 ай бұрын

I am interested to see how this all works out. I think based on reports, Boswell and Morez Johnson are probably for sure shoe-ins for the starting lineup. Then, beyond that, it could be some combo of Kasparas, Humrichous, Ty Rodgers, and/or Riley if he does indeed commit. I don't think Ivisc will be starting. I just hope DGL doesn't get lost in the shuffle and gets a fair opportunity. I want that kid to succeed as much as anyone else on this roster aside from Ty Rodgers

@@markwalters6964 Morez apparently has an insane motor. I'm not sure about Ivisic but his brother Big Z didn't even start and Big Z is supposedly a bit better so I don't care how old Tomislav is b/c Morez is already built like a junior

@markwalters6964 5 ай бұрын

@@snapon29 Morez isn’t nearly as skilled or as big. He certainly has a motor, but that’s not enough to start in this league. Ivisic is more skilled than his brother but doesn’t have as high of a ceiling. Ivisic will match up with all the other bigs in the league and there’s a lot of them. He’s your starting center.

Trying to form a starting lineup when Kasparas, Riley, or Big T aren’t there yet is an interesting conversation, but not much meaning. Brad is gonna start who he believes should start. He’s proven that.

Kentucky is not the competition for Riley, it is Arizona. Kentucky wants him for 2025 abs he is definitely reclassifying for 2024. He is most likely going to choose Illinois because of more playing time.
