Wouldnāt Pryor and Hawkins be an insanely good starting front court? Not sure how most teams would guard them

Basically two stretch fives, yeah. It is an intriguing combo for sure. I think the concern is maybe against physical bigs, which were a bit of a problem for Illinois at times last year right?
Look for Hawkins to get a lot of face time at Papa Johnās Cardinal L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium this fall.

i know theyāre probably well established in the aau game and laughing at aau team names is hack humor at this point but this one just really surprises me. but now that i think about it all aau teams should be named in honor of remembering some guys

Elmarko wasnāt even in the top-10 for contributors before adding Shak Mooreā¦if Self doesnāt get this roster to a F4 he has failed.

Allegedly this is a take with significant locker room risk
Normally I would say itās not fair to gauge a coachās success by a tournament outcome to that extent, but in this case, that roster is STACKED. Anything less than a F4 appearance is embarrassing, barring injuries.
Gotta say this is the first time Iāve ever seen the name Rakease Passmore. I really hope heās like a 40% usage guy.

I think this roster is better than last yearās in that they have 7 dudes that are definite HM starters and last year that didnāt get to 5 until Furphy got tabbed. But Self didnāt figure out how to maximize Hunter on either end last year and theyāre prob gonna have minimum 2 starters on the floor with him that arenāt ideal fits. So I dk, I have some doubts about a top 4 team to KP.
Iāll guessā¦9th? Maybe if reviewed the rest of the top 20 Iād scootch them up.
Yeah, the Hunter/KJ frontcourt will continue to cause spacing issues and then Storr will be wanting to shoot every time he touches it.
From a RosterCast perspective itās stacked, but Iām curious if it will come together.
I assume Mayo is the 6th. Who is the 7th?

Shak Moore though yeah heās prob a bit of a minus starter. I think if heās your 7th the statement still basically stands though.
