ttun basketball (Juwan out, Dusty May in)

3 straight losses to end the regular season, then a run to the B1G tourney title. Could that tourney run have masked UM struggling down the stretch? It seems like every year there's a team that wins their conference tournament and gets bounced early in the NCAA tourney. These guys could be overconfident and unfocused coming into the NCAAs. I'm not saying they'll be upset, but I am saying there's a correlation to teams riding high and being upset in the big dance.

Sure, but my problem is changing it after the draft. I literally read the rules and drafted accordingly. I would have drafted 2 or more starters, based on an existing minimum IP requirement.

So looking at my pack of dickless wonders, Yahbot over drafted SP while under representing the need for outfield players.

I'll trade any two of my SP batch for the right bat(s)

( I miss the guy I used to antagonize with horrible trade offers :lol: )

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

It will be interesting to see what happens. My guess is Bruce will make the jump to the NBA - he does seem to me like a guy who could be a good backup point in the league. Oftentimes we see guys spend 3 years, make the most out of themselves and then make the jump - I think that's Bruce in a nutshell. I just don't see where he improves his game with another year in college.

If Bruce leaves, perhaps that will motivate Meechie to try and return. His first year, 2020-21, was the COVID freebie, so that doesn't count & this past year he could use as a redshirt year since he only played in 10 games. That means Meechie could be eligible to play this upcoming season at OSU. If he does, maybe that motivates Marcus to come a year early. Obviously we need Mobley to come back. I'm thinking that ultimately we will be OK in the backcourt, it's really the frontcourt (particularly the 5 position) that concerns me. I really hope Royal and Stewart return, Bradshaw it would be good if he returns too, but they need a true 5 man as none of those 3 are true posts. Parks it seems they do not want to really rely on, and Ivan didn't seem like they had too much confidence in, either.

At this point, I'm thinking we will want to get 2 players from the portal, a scoring wing and a big man. If we don't have any of Bruce, Meechie or Marcus, we'll need a PG also.
Hard pass on Meechie. He quit. Don't need that.
