My guess is if we get Malou we wouldn't be after Cunningham anymore but who knows
Currently 2 scholarships available for next year... It shouldn't just be assumed the staff is only looking at these three (though Vaughn is the top priority) and won't focus on someone who suddenly becomes available late in the process. As history has shown lot can, and will, change by late April into May.
True.. but I don't even think it's possible to find a couple prospects more talented than RV and Malou late in the process. Maybe a big impact transfer but I would take those two guys right now with no regards to who becomes available later. Both these guys are gonna be playing in the league one day unless something crazy happens.
Potential starters
Man Man
RV
Nader
Niang
Mckay
Potential bench
Thomas
Hogue
Malou
Custer
Naz
SDW
Edozie
If that's not a potential Final Four roster.. I don't know what is.
If Hogue averages a double / double this year, you are going to put him on the bench?
He hasn't averaged a double double for a while now but he fits the bill of the perfect energy guy off the bench. And I think people will be pleasantly surprised when they see McKay and Nader are both better than Hogue next season. Good problem to have.
Probably not. We're going to have to get rebounding from somewhere next year. We lose 2 of our best 3 rebounders (Ejim and Kane). It would be very hard to put Hogue on the bench. McKay I do think rebounds well, and we'll see about Nader.
I've heard Hogue would likely be a starter over Nader because he's the most athletically gifted player in this class.
I have no idea who starts between Nader and Hogue, though I expect one will go to the bench at some point after McKay is eligible. That said, I actually see the same argument pointing to Nader being the guy going to the bench. Going with the Hogue as better rebounder and Nader as better offensively assumption, it could be real nice to have a nice offensive oriented player coming in off the bench. That way Niang could get some rest without losing as much offensively, and very little rebounding-wise.
If we were to get Vaughn, I think this argument becomes even stronger.
Why are people thinking Nader is going to come off the bench? There have been so many instances where coaches and players have stated that Nader is the best player that ISU has. I very highly doubt that if he's the best player, like most of the team and coaches are saying, that he comes off the bench. We're going to start two guards, Nader will DEFINITELY start, McKay will likely start once eligible (or Hogue), and Niang will be a starter as well. So the question is not who will be the 6th man between McKay and Nader. The question is who will be the first off the bench between McKay and Hogue. My best guess is McKay comes off the bench.
I could see that especially if McKay isn't eligable till semester. Might be a better chemestry thing to have him come off the bench while starting his senior year.
Looking good in drills or practice and being the best player when playing team ball in the Big 12 are different. IMO this is the typical message board redshirt hype.
