Jayden only loses minutes if he gets hurt or if he regresses. He was the 2nd most consistent all-around player last year after Cross. He's going to play, and he's going to play a lot. Agree. I'm guessing Jayden, Rivera, and Diggins will be the heart and soul of the team. And Curry's performance wil...

Curry
Diggins
Ndjique
Rivera
C - DHS or Watson

Bench: DHS or Watson, Nate G, Malek, Worthy

Feel like it'll be an 8 person rotation, with a chance for a 9th person depending on performance in a 5-10 minute a night gig in non-conference schedule.

Thanks for all the feedback in this thread about various places to live. Westfield and Belchertown have piqued my interest the most. Wife and I are checking out the area in early June and also hitting Treehouse-Deerfield.

^ That's a good point. Team dynamics will definitely be modified. Also, along with the money there is definitely going to be some increased pressure/scrutiny from fans as a result of these deals. I've seen Great Osobor play a few times in person, he's a good player, better footwork than you'd expect...

Came for Beta, stayed for Meta.

Either way, they still need size (particularly some strength) with experience. And they still need another shooter. Do we have enough 3 point shooting? Diggins for sure. Curry - streaky but decent form. Akil Watson? Ndjique improvement? (he does work his ass off) Gerengomba? Worthy? DHS? supposedly...

Will Guerengomba help with the outside shooting issue?

I would think the need for backup SG should be an easy slot to fill compared to someone like Rivera who does a bit of everything, right?

DHS averaged 2.2 fouls per 18.2mpg last year. So getting bigs who can defend is my main concern.

I think I cracked the code, Daniel Rivera is at least very interested.

^ I don't always consider 3pt percentage as the end-all be-all of that, but the dude isn't shooting well from the FT line so he's probably not gonna develop that outside shot. It is impressive that he has a FG% of 50% though, even though he has limited range. Gets to the line over 4x a game, but may...

You get 13 scholarships. From what I read, Brigham is a preferred walk-on, so they have 4 spots.

Colorado State stealing a Frank Martin idea.....taking a lower conference East Coast center.

There's gotta be some big guys coming in or you'd think all the roster guys like Mason & Majok would have stuck around if there was pt available. Crazy to think last year we added 4 guys 6-10 or bigger and none are still here. What’s even odder is that UM uses an interior post game that was hig...

Looks like it's all about the bag.

You sound surprised....

I did think being on a tourney team was his primary motivation, but TCU and SMU kinda blow that theory.

Jon Rothstein update on Cross on Twitter:

UMass transfer Matt Cross will visit TCU today and SMU tomorrow, per his agent Derek Malloy.

Recently visited both Iowa and Wisconsin.
