You didn't answer my question about the BarnTown/CF beer collaborations so all of your answers are null and void. There, I feel better now.

That's because we answered it on Stanz and Fitz

By my estimation, your math is off on the RB carries. Under Campbell, ISU gives 110%.

50+20+20+10 does not equal 110.

I meant my question as ANY player started from that season forward.

So guys like Georges, Monté, senior Ejim, Royce, Shayok, and Naz were available.

It was still interesting to hear you reminiscence about that 2010-2011 roster, though.



JVB was pretty trash on defense, but a stretch big man would help next year lots. In terms of a poor man's Georges Niang, you can do worse than Big Silky out there.

You think Croney will only get 10% of the carries, even after Campbell went with him at crunch time Saturday? Wut? Is this a covert way of predicting an injury? No way Croney is healthy and getting only 10% of the carries.

Ah, my bad. I did like the twist of limiting it to that season in the scenario I went with though lol. Was a bit different!

Now I have to track that down too. Ain't nobody got time for dat!

Nothing against Croney. I like his style. I just think he's most comparable to Hall and Hall has the youth + potential, so I think the situations we would otherwise have used Croney in this year will eventually be handed to Hall as long as Hall develops at a normal rate.

I take this more to mean that he thinks Hall will switch into beast mode as the season progresses and we won't see Croney touch the ball too much more this season.

I'd say it's just a trick to get people to listen to him but I totally understand. I'm married too. Sometimes a guy's just got to know that somebody's listening to him.

Think of it as getting called up to the big leagues @Colorado.

Under those same parameters, I think I would have gone with Christopherson.

I like JVB, but I think we are pretty much set for big men next year with Solomon, Jacobson, and Conditt. Guards, however, we need more of -- even if Bolton is eligible.

Garrett is tempting, but we have a ready PG in Tyrese and a secondary ball-handler in Nixon. We need proven scoring and shooting more than anything else.

Thug Life would be perfect for those things to play off-ball and lurk in the corner for threes.

Definitely need some Scotty C...

That's good reasoning. I'm bullish on Tre Jackson filling the sharpshooter role this year but having too many good shooters is never a bad thing!

How heavily edited is @internetman 's answer?

I interpreted the question the same way you did. Actually I think it's better that way — more challenging.

I'm guessing the parts using correct capitalization.
