Freeman?

[Rondo#9]

Well, Rancik committed...... to FSU. That kinda sucks.

Oh well, gotta hope we get a BOOM! from Cody soon that Donnie Freeman has announced that he's going to play for the University of Kentucky!

I really hope so ... because if we don't at least get Freeman (and hopefully Stokes)... our roster might look something like this:

PG- Diallo / Wilkins / Mason Williams
SG- Wilkins / Cox / Kam Williams?
SF- Kam Williams / Noah / Hawthorne
PF - McBride / Kam Williams / Noah / Devin Williams
C - Moreno / Devin Williams / Potter

Something like that might be anywhere from a 9 to an 11 seed in the tournament. Hope that ain't it.

Arizona is apparently going after Devin Williams now too. We might not even get him either.

Terrance Hill Jr. committed to Tennessee.

Terrance Hill Jr. committed to Tennessee.

Kansas is striking out a lot it seems. Does no one want to play with Stokes? If Stokes does "the unthinkable"and joins his former teammate Diallo at UK like he should... Things would get ugly for KU. Self might retire on the spot.

Ouch!

When you put it like that....

That's a bubble team.... sitting anxiously on Selection Sunday to see IF they're even in!

It looks like McBride might be our best backup 4 option. If he's the starter, though...

247Sports lists Momcilovic as a Power Forward, even though he's really a Small Forward. Still, I'd love to have him... and if that meant we had a lineup like

PG- Diallo / Wilkins / Mason Williams
SG- Wilkins / Cox
SF- Stokes/Kam Williams / Noah / Hawthorne
PF - Momcilovic/McBride / Kam Williams
C - Moreno / Devin Williams / Potter

Then so be it.

I wonder what's the chances of Otega being able to play a 5th year after that order was signed?

0.000005% ?

I'm gonna sound like a hater for saying this, but I don't care...

Otega is more of a last resort than first option to me. Reason being.....he was the lead dog last year, and we saw how well that played out. He's more of a Robin that was forced into the role of playing Batman. And when he's in that position, he plays pretty selfishly.

Now...if we land Freeman and Stokes OR Momcilovic.... and Wilkins is fine coming off the bench as the primary backup for both guard spots... and Otega accepts the role of teammate trying to win a title....then I'd be perfectly fine with that! A lineup like

PG - Diallo/Wilkins/M. Williams
SG - Oweh/Wilkins/Noah
SF - Stokes or Momcilovic/K. Williams/Noah/Hawthorne
PF - Freeman/McBride/K. Williams
C - Moreno/D. Williams/Potter

Is one I could get excited about?

A guy at the gym today said it was almost a 50% certainty that Freeman will make a decision sometime soon. Take that for what it's worth. :-)

My grandfather who has dementia said who is Donnie Freeman, then said he was 45% certain he'll commit today, take that for what it's worth.

Yeah, butt my dementia appears to be under control. If we can get Carr and Chandler back, we're good as gold!
