This is an example of advanced metrics being so silly and misleading. So, I am supposed to be concerned about a -1.13 defensive rating putting Dorries at 46th in his conference when a rating of - 0.06 ( 1 point a game difference) would have put him 20th?

I have seen and read and also know from talking to a lot of people that many companies don't look at degrees and resumes nearly as much anymore. I guess some might go the AI route to narrow down applicants, but there is always the question of how accurate are resumes? The bottom line is there is...

I hear u. I just don't think a lot of teams have 2 big types that play together and pound u inside anymore. I totally agree we want a versatile wing who can guard and grab some boards, but I am fine with anyone here in the 6'5 or 6'6 range alongside Kaiser.

I really don't think power forward is a need. Kaiser has enough size to play with 3 guards or two guards and another wing. The game has changed. Most teams don't really have "power forwards" anymore. No reason for us to worry about having one.

I think a Garrett type would be P5 now. A guy who can give them 5-10 minutes a game as an extra big. Be a force on D. Block shots. Pick up a few fouls and not be worried about foul trouble. Now, a guy not quite as good as Garrett who can play some D and block some shots? Sure, maybe we can...

No doubt. 100%.

Very well said, and the key is the last statement. Employers just don't worry about resumes and where you got yoir degree much anymore. They just don't.

But, this is 100% Tyne's decision. You have to accept that not at all players think alike. You look at it like a degree from Richmond is everything. Plenty and I mean plenty of kids go to school for basketball. And others go for both hoops and a degree. Tyne looks at it like he has one year of...

You said it best with your last comment..... A complete big is out of our price range and P5 bound. But, it is up to us to adjust to any flaws he might have. Our roster screamed we had to add a guy like this. I am excited about him because he is a position of need at probably the hardest spot...

No matter who we land in the portal, I would love to see Simmons, Cook, and Caldwell all come in from day 1 expecting to get minutes as freshmen and not even considering redshirting. 1.We should not even bring it up. 2. They should not consider it. These guys have talent. Let's get them in...

True. We can't spend good money on another big. And, now that we added Dorries, I doubt a real good big who wants and expects 25 mpg would look at us as a good fit. I think our biggest need now is a big time guard with size. It is also possible we keep JRob at the 5 backing up Dorries. Which...

We could have a team similar to the Jordan King led team. King/Hunt.........AA/Guard from portal. Dji/Bigs.............Stewart/Kaiser. Quinn.........Dorries.

LOL. I like the thoughts of having a 6'5 guy defend at a high level. He could guard lots of different guys and maybe keep some opposing scorers from going off.

I would think Rhoades would give Mooney an honest take on him. If Rhoades thinks he would do well in the A-10, we should go after him. He has good size, made 39 3s at 34.8%, and shot 79% at the line. If he is as good as advertised defensively, I see no reason why he could not be a quality...

That would be great. Davidson has had a lot of quality bigs that have done very well in the A-10. If this guy were great defensively and a big time rebounder, we would not have had a chance at him. There are only so many do it all bigs out there, and they are P5 now with the portal. I think this...
