Let’s get things back to normal.

Disclaimer:

Any type of argumentative mentions of DH, KJA, or HD will result in a ban from the thread.

Perfectly fine to mention them if it’s relevant to the discussion.

No more benchings. More wins.

Fran can’t wait to bring up how much the team misses KJ Adams with every struggle

Heard speculation that Tiller might leave, but that hasn’t happened.

Doesn’t need to be anyone great, but just can’t rely on Bidunga and Tiller as the only bigs.

[smithandrew051]

I guess Jefferson would make 3 bigs. Duh.

[smithandrew051]

Nijel Pack is in the portal and somehow has eligibility remaining. That doesn’t sound possible.

Well, well, well.

Looks like Flory Bidunga won't be entering the draft after all.

Glad to hear Self saw the errors he made this year.

I love this idea.

I’d sign up for a lineup of:

Pack
Peterson
Tre White
Jefferson
Bidunga

Tiller, Elmarko, McDowell, Dawson, and whoever else fill out the bench.

Beautiful. I feel like Pack would be a perfect fit with Peterson who is going to be having the ball in his alot.

How many years of eligibility left does KJ have?

Self is on a lifetime contract and he worked in a lifetime scholarship for KJ

Mitch Lightfoot is coming back for his 11th year of eligibility. It’s his PHD year.
