I’m just worried about the health, and how the hold up over the season, that’s all.

That’s fair. I think it’s also not unreasonable to expect our freshman and rising sophomores to make an impact. That’s been a pretty consistent trend with Barnes. Aidoo and ZZ in 2021, Awaka and soph Mashack in 2022. I’m fully expecting Dillone, BJ, Jefferson Carr and either Estrella or Cade to make an impact in 2023. I see your point about proven depth though

Given the choice, I think I’d rather roll the dice on JJJ being healthy than on someone from the portal being an impact player.

Not that either of us gets a choice.

Absolutely because you already know what you have in JJJ and we haven't had much luck in the transfer portal. But BTO says it's not happening and he is usually reliable.

This feels like when Fulky came back that last time. It was time to hang it up by then. I dunno. I was hoping to give some new blood those minutes and see what they can do, but I guess the devil you know and all that.

Dude…
Not sure it warrants a response but Fulk had a few outbursts of above average play in his five years before he came back. Santi has shown promise from day one and been a consistently great contributor on two great teams in a row. There’s no universe where we should be even lukewarm on Santi coming back, much less disappointed. It’s an absolute coup

Hopefully we can spend the off season getting almost the entire team HEALTHY! Was a major issue this past season.

I think that they pretty much work out together nearly year round. So the biggest issue with ZZ’s knee might be that the players won’t be able to get court time with him at full speed until the season begins. That especially could put integration of the freshmen behind schedule.

🙄 Good grief dude. Getting a two time first team all conference player back is nothing short of terrific news.
