Small ball

[klesta]

The bright spot of us missing out on every transfer option is at least now Cal may be forced to play small. Sure knowing him he will start Ugo and Bradshaw together but assuming Reeves comes back I’m hoping we see a lot of DJ, Rob, Reeves, and Edwards on the floor together with Ugo and Bradshaw subbing in and out at the 5. I think playing this way will lead to more success than 2 bigs together and Cal literally may not have a choice next year if we have no depth. Adou playing some at the 4 and Reed subbing in at guard spots and praying no one gets hurt.

If you look at the last 20 years or so, the best teams have been a mix of highly versatile wingmen and guards, a team of three ~6’6 skilled, athletic Players with a good PG are damn near impossible to beat!

We will have at 2-4 more guys than we have right now. We won’t be starting the season with 7. Tolu Smith coming available is the type of surprise guys I was talking about us adding a couple days ago.

I would love to see some small ball.

Rob, DJ, Reeves, Edwards, Ugo / Bradshaw

Sheppard can sub at the 1-2
Theiro could get time at any of the 2-3-4 spots

I think this would win a lot of games. But it will never happen.

Why even post this, Bradshaw has been promised and will play the 4. Cal will start Ugo or whatever big he has. End of discussion.

 

[klesta]

Yes but I’m assuming Ugo and Bradshaw aren’t each going to play 40 mpg.

We need another 4 man and another 5 man. I doubt Cal plays small ball. Just not in his wheelhouse.

 

[Magilla Gorillla]

Cal would play Grant Darbyshire on stilts before he would play small ball.

Cal will clog the lane with somebody, as sure as he'll leave a wide open layout on 3 out of 4 in-bounds plays.

Get ready for more pounding of square pegs into round holes, unless he pulls something out of his rear.

Right. That’s why he’s won over 800 games, been to 6 FF’s at 3 schools, everywhere he coaches he goes to the FF, in the HoF and 1 title because he can’t coach.

 

[North Carolina Blue Wildcat]

Have to have a coach that can scheme on both sides of the ball to do it.. we are out of luck!

 

[NociHTTP]

We'll just toss it into Canada on the inbounds.

Can we talk about games after 2015?

82-42 .661 since Sweaty Bruce embarrassed him in the Elite 8 - how many wins and tourney games vacated? I lost count...

One NCAA win since then to go along with ZERO SEC titles.

Will you follow him when he leaves like Release the Squirms and the Tubster? You seem similarly attached.
