Yeah no reason to look for another five. Especially with Ralph leaving. We should be covered. SMH.
Excited about Deans future! Starter at 4?
- Thread starter SBP
- Start date
Reiber should play atleast 20-25 minutes a game next season assuming he continues to progress and those minutes won't be available at the 5. I think he can average 10 PPG next season given his ability to score.
We definitely need to bring in scoring at the wing.
2021-2022: We lost 30pts from last year
Young (14pts), Mathis (8ts) and Johnson (8pts)
It was really Clif (4pts up to 12pts) who fully replaced Johnson himself and the bench guys all picking up a couple extra points here and there.
RHJ (16ppg) and Geo (12ppg) went up minimally each.
2022-2023: We lose another 28 (RHJ/Geo) and potentially up to 34pts (Caleb 6)
Clif may have some more room to grow if he starts moving out a little deeper from mostly dunks.
Mulcahy (9ppg) maybe also has some room to improve if he looks to score more instead of defer to Geo/RHJ.
Will definitely need scoring to comes from the bench or transfer to at least maintain if not improve (we are still at the bottom in PPG in the league).
Going to guess Pike brings an undersized 2 guard that can score and is a PLUS defender.
I know Pike likes long players, but I think if he is willing to get an undersized player AND not needing of a primary ball handler he will have a lot of players to choose from.

Well Pike is looking at the Lafayette 7 footer who is a 5. Woolfolk could then redshirt
Also, not mutually exclusive. Get the backup 5. Still def need the scorer Greene rice fig mentioned.
I can see him being a 40-45% shooter from 3. He doesn’t force the shot or try to create a shot behind the arc. I can see him taking 3-5 wide open 3s per game coming off the pick and popping to the 3 point line.
Now I know I said Reiber isn't a 4 against B1G competition but he should definitely be on the court with Cliff for parts of this game and probably the main bench player. ND is one of the few power 5 teams that play two post players at the same time with one being a stretch PF.
Dean is a stretch . He will be an excellent player there on that hole. He doesn’t play/act like a center. More of a Wisconsin style, heady, Wing.
Heavy favorite right now is Cliff. Not sure we are getting a 15+ ppg scorer in the portal
Yes - I agree. One thing to think about though - our second team has looked consistently strong on both sides when playing full press style (albeit short stints). Dean especially. Now I don’t think we’ll commit to the press like VCU / WVU have in past years, but depending who we bring in from the portal, you never know. We might see a real up tick in full court press possessions next season which would mean more subbing in the rotation and less concern about true positions on the court.
There are pros and cons, but obviously pressing style masks shortcomings in perimeter half court defense issues and offensive halfcourt challenges. A long shot yes but maybe not out of the realm of possibility.
Jaden will he literally has to. If Pike brings a portal guy over him it’s not a good look. He will and Reiber will prove you wrong.
Depending on who we bring in, I think we see Pike go back to more of a deeper rotation which would allow more pressing
I’ll admit that I have thought Jaden would jump into the portal. But, players like Johnnie Davis prove that if you believe in a coach and a program you can make a massive leap in offseason. So, I hope Jaden stays. And, I’m not saying Jaden will be Davis per se, but Davis went from being a 7 pt guy to first team all American in one year.
True, but Jones plus a scorer is all we need to fill the void if Jones makes a leap next year and is ready to contribute
With the roster coming into focus more, this is the most logical spot. Occasionally helping at 5, I think we are not done with portal in that regard
Now that you've bumped two old threads that you started on this subject - will you bump them both again in December after you are proven wrong?
Let’s move him to the 3, why not?
If the athlete sticks around. When players do not develop, they need a nudge.
