2025 Target List

[ColinS]

Feels like this recent trend of just making the anointed successor and/or interim coach the full time coach has proven to be largely ineffective yet it keeps happening. With the exception of Jon Scheyer finding success at a place with immense resources like Duke, there are so many other examples of this going poorly.

I mean Rodney Terry has been pretty mediocre. Kyle Neptune has been not great. Hubert Davis has been pretty bad. Sanchez at UVA has been pretty bad and yet they still want to give him the full time job. I just don’t get it. Sometimes it’s okay to look outside the program/family for your next coach even if it hurts feelings.

What has Sheyer done? At least relative to what fans expect from Duke. ACC championships are fine and all but I'm sure they want more than that. Maybe they are on the verge of something big this year so we will see. He has continued to bring in the talent and has a loaded roster but that's kind of a given at a place like Duke.

If we don't get the 5th year rule I'd like to see the Vols grab Budd Clark, Elyjiah Freeman, and Brayden Burries. And unless we expect Cade to start at the 4 next year we are going to need a power forward transfer

I think Estrella starting alongside Okpara is likely

Agreed

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

Any update on Brayden Burries and his timeline to commit?

Who is at the 4 in that lineup? I’d guess Okpara has better foot speed from watching him play this season so maybe JP at the 5?

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Either. Estrella played 4 quite a bit with Felix this Summer. JP actually has a decent stretch baseline jumper.

JP the 4 imo

JP the 4 imo

Unfortunate that we missed that combo this season

 

[TrippieRedd]

I figured that Freeman would be the starting 4 if we got him.

But JP next to Felix is nice as well

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Either. Estrella played 4 quite a bit with Felix this Summer. JP actually has a decent stretch baseline jumper.

Gotta like that size if JP can provide a little bit of spacing for whoever our pg is. I’d hate to lose the Okpara lob game due to lack of spacing.

 

[Lefteye]

JP the 4 imo

We might have 99 other problems, but rebounding shouldn’t be one next year. Even if they don’t start together, they’ll spend a lot of time together or with Cade.

Now, let’s get Burries, Mallory couple of role portals and ride
