I wouldn’t count on Boswell being a contributor right now, Carr and Dilione and Estrella are the obvious choices. The staff is developing guys to have more of a scoring mindset. I know that mistake is trying to be fixed. And I will ask this, if you had pick who might average 15 a game next year, who would you pick?

It's a changing of the guard of sorts. And I think we'll get at least one really good scorer in the portal.

I don’t see anyone on this team right now getting 15 per game. Maybe Zeigler if he improves his shooting. I’m afraid we’re going back to mudball.

No, definitely not right now for Boswell - he's a four star player ranked in the 60's I think who would be a freshman. So unless he has been MASSIVELY underrated, he obiously wouldn't be one to count on for much at this point. I'd like to see Estrella turn into something great. I will be happy if he is a solid player who is competing for 2nd team All SEC by his junior season. Pick a guy who would average 15 ppg next year? Aidoo and/or ZZ likely, but if you mean only among the younger guys, that's a total guess. I might go with Carr just because he has athleticism that I think could allow him to attack the rim, plus he is supposed to be a good three point shooter. If Estrella can shoot from outside like he showed as a high school recruit, maybe him, with some post move work. Freddie? It's unfair to judge him at this point, but he has looked the least active of those three guys in his time on the court. I think it's mainly because he hasn't exactly gotten comfortable with a role yet.

We could have someone, even two guys, who could hit for 14-15/game, but still be overall mediocre on offense if we don't pick up some big time transfers.

We need our wings to be the scorers. We need the bigs to be better but the wings need to be the guys getting buckets. Zeigler just needs to shoot the 3 better.

We ain’t going back to mudball Let's hope not. We've seen seasons where I thought we had the pieces in place for a really good offense, and it didn't work out that way. So to me, mudball is always on the table until I see a really good offense that doesn't involve a generational talent going off for 30-40 in 7-8 games, and 22-30 in most of the others, or a roster of talented veterans like the GW, Admiral, Bone final season.

I don't think we have enough proven 3 point shooting right now given how unlikely we are to be effective in the paint against size.

Aidoo or ZZ could get to 15 with some growth from the current numbers. Carr seems like the best chance to burst onto the scene out of nowhere with a bigger number. Gainey is a good bet I guess. I actually think we have some decent scoring options. If they keep up the pace, they are going to have a ton more shots to go around.

And whoever is scoring needs to be able to beat a guy off the dribble and get in the lane to draw help defense OR put it on the glass and get fouled . Knecht seemed to do this less the last month and once teams saw ZZ was absolutely no threat other than the floater the opposing bigs just stayed with Aidoo taking away the drop off pass and his productivity dropped

I'm kind of torn between being curious if our existing roster could step up and fill the scoring gaps (maybe with Lanier added), or on the other hand not wanting to gamble ZZ, Mashack, and probably Aidoo's last year (still a pretty solid base, probably significantly lower ceiling) on having unproven guys step up. But each portal we bring in probably benches/runs off a current freshman.

I think we'll probably need to look for another PG in the portal and/or from the high school ranks. And I think we need immediate help via the portal for some three point shooting, even if Carr turns out to be a sharpshooter next season. A wing who can slash to the rim would help us as well. Depending on whether or not we lose any big men to the portal ourselves, we might also need to add an experienced, physical post who is at least a solid scorer.
