Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 2)

At any rate, this is a remarkable turnaround for Turgeon when it was widely reported that he wanted out (to go back to the Midwest) just a couple of weeks ago.

Put together this google sheet to keep track of Big Ten rosters in order to facilitate speculation / ranking Big Ten teams for next season. Feel free to edit if I missed anything, got something wrong or it can be improved in some other way.

My guidelines for it when putting together rosters:

  • All seniors are leaving until they say theyā€™re coming back.
  • I used best judgment on who to put in the draft section (early entry).
  • I tried to avoid walk-ons that will never play, but a few probably got in there.

Thanks! But this does need some editing. I will change the first name of every player on MSU to ā€œRocketā€.

This is awesome, appreciate the effort. A few notes:

  • You have Nunge listed twice as a transfer for Iowa.

  • You donā€™t have incoming freshmen listed on the depth chart for some schools ie Akins for MSU, although I assume this may be intenional.

  • Seth Towns isnā€™t a graduate for OSU. I know you said you assume all seniors are leaving until they state otherwise, but Towns had two years of eligibility left when he transferred to OSU, ignoring the COVID year.

Thanks! Just fixed all those. All mistakes / didnā€™t know Towns had another year.

Yeah this is super helpful to have. Thank you!

Btw, based on the current rosters:

1, Michigan
2. Ohio State
3. Purdue
4. Maryland
5. Michigan State
T-6. Everyone else sucks

Crazy the number of rosters that are going to need to be completely rebuilt through the portal.

Do we think Duane Washington and Liddell both come back?

Iā€™ve had a weird feeling all along that one or both will not be back.

Wisconsin looks to be brutal next year. But the principle of Greg Gard is that be alternatingly saves his job then puts himself back on the hot-seat. By my math, heā€™s due to surprise this year.

UNC 247 is reporting unc will talk with holtmann today but hubert davis is the favorite

UNC is the bluest blood there is so you canā€™t blame Holtmann for taking the interview, but I have to wonder if OSU gets a little itchy at him shopping himself around like this all the time without any banners to show for it

I guess he decided to change his coach-in-waiting position.

Feel like thatā€™s a pretty big blow for MSUā€¦

Really? Iā€™m not so sure. His Clarkston recruiting blunders ruined their PG and C rotation

Good hire for Woodson. Hunter has tons of experience across CBB and Fife has been a head coach. Those 2 will likely combine to be his Martelli

Oh I didnā€™t remember that. I just feel like Iā€™ve seen him ranked in like the top 5 recruiters on 247 (I think)

No joke I would expect Loyer and Kithier to bounce within 24 hours
