A team full of experience, guys who have played college basketball for years and at power five programs mainly
More defensive minded, which we had none of last year
People are only down on it because they like shiny new toys and there’s no Brandon Garrison and Eric Dailey on this team
I’m down because we have no size whatsoever.
He isn’t done adding to the team
The team is structured with guys he wanted and that fit his style of play, he didn’t just grab bodies to have enough to play a game 
Ok. Lutz is doing what he can but you saying we are structured better simply isn’t true.
He’s missed on multiple guys, which is fine, but I don’t think it’s fair to say they’re all the guys he wants as if this is a Plan A team.
If you think the team was structured better last year I’m not sure what to tell you, you’re welcome to that opinion
Not a single team in America has their plan A team
This is true. I hope it shapes up to be a good roster. Time will tell.
we should tank for a couple of seasons and roll the NIL $ from those years in to one
Keep in mind that just because we might have had more “talented” guys last year doesn’t mean the team was put together well. Lutz might not have flashy names, but has guys to fit his system.
that and being (I believe) top 2 in the league in minutes player by freshman, in addition to having only 1-2 defensive minded players is not a recipe for success in CBB
the coaching wasn’t great last year but the roster construction was the reason they were so bad
I will say, this team has some dawgs on it.
Devo, Brantley, Dean and Jennings are all going to play extremely hard. Keller already plays extremely hard. But no doubt needs some size or they are just going to get bullied
247 evaluation on him:
Yeanay is a strong-bodied forward with a high-motor and physical style. He’s competitive, powerful, runs the court, and plays hard on both ends of the floor. He came up the ranks as an undersized big man, who was physically mature at a young age and thus able to put up big numbers by overpowering people in the paint. As he’s gotten older, he’s expanded his game and become more versatile in the process. He’s still a definite threat with his back to the basket, who understands how to get deep post position and has good footwork. He can also put a lot of pressure on the rim as a face-up driver who almost dares opposing defenders to get in his way with an aggressive downhill style. He’s starting to extend his shooting touch away from the basket and has also shown some flashes of being an underrated passer in high-low action. Defensively, he can body-up and bang with bigger players on the block and has worked to improve his footspeed and lateral quickness when pulled to the perimeter. Yeanay is also an active rebounder on both ends of the floor.
hopefully will help that a few of our guys are already down there for the season
We might be better, we might not. We won’t find out until they play.
Thats my assessment.
Having hyper competitive dawgs is vital for setting a base and standard for your program both internally and for fan buy in. We just need floor raisers until Lutz can build some recruiting momentum. Excited to see it.
Sounds a lot like someone who used to wear 33 for us.
huge if true
