Based on our CURRENT roster I would do the following:

PG - Ashworth (30) / Bairstow (10)
SG - Shulga (25) / McChesney (10) / Bairstow (5)
SF - Miller (30) / Shulga (5) / Potter (5)
PF - Bean (35) / Dorius (5)
C - Horvath (30) / Zapala (10)

We are extremely thin at PG (as usual). Bairstow should not sniff that position (in my opinion), but right now we don't really have a backup unless Shulga will do it. And that may not be a bad idea. I feel Shulga takes care of the ball much better than Bairstow.

We also could use another quality wing. McChesney and Potter are completely unproven, but could command minutes this year unless we sign some dudes.

Ideally I would love to sign a PG who can start or at least compete to start and a quality shooting wing. Another big would be icing on the cake, but I'm pretty confident at our depth there. I'm actually pretty high on Zapala.

That team loses a lot of games.

Here's to hearing some transfer portal successes before too long.

I just heard from a pretty good source that no decision has been made on Miller yet as far as returning. His back still has some major problems that may prevent him from playing again.

I really hope Eytle Rock follows Horvath. I still would like a P5 transfer though.

Potter could be a bit like Anderson but more 4/5 type and not so such as a 3.

Bummer for him, but I'd much rather have an open scholarship than a hurt-back Miller. That guy STRUGGLED.

Thoughts?
I feel that the Aggies have the best walk-ons in the nation.
Quinn Taylor, Justin Bean, Abel Porter, and Trevin Dorius are better than most HS players that get a D1 scholarship and better many P5 scholarship players. I personally believe that Brenchley will be better than expected, and I remember the hype Brenchley was getting around here wondering if he was a walk-on or a scholarship.

I want Brock back, but I’d hope the decision could be made sooner rather than later if he can’t go.

Agreed, if he's healthy.

Most fans I think don't fully realize how bad Brock's back was at the end of last season. He was nowhere close to 50% health-wise, it's pretty remarkable he was even able to play as much as he was. I really hope he's able to recover, but he's in a pretty unfortunate spot.

And that speaks volumes for where Bairstow and McChesney were (are?) developmentally. If they couldn't even get playing time over a crippled Miller playing at 50% capacity, why are people so sure they are going to make this great leap this year and contribute?

And that starting point guard we have - he didn't score a single point in the last 4 games of the season. Where is the scoring going to come from on this team?

I mentioned in another thread and I think it is worth repeating here: The two biggest needs on this team are:

1) A primary ball handler that is a playmaker and can get to the basket and not turn the ball over, and:
2) An athletic wing that can shoot the three at a minimum 40% rate and also defend the opponent's best wing player. Hipster mentioned that this could be Shulga, but I think we need one in addition to Shulga.

Yep. When I saw the list of issues I was blown away he was going to try and make it back for the postseason. If he hangs it up no one should blame him.

Dorius at the 4 and Horvath at the 5? Surely you jest, sir.

PG - Transfer PG (30) / Ashworth (10)
SG - Shulga (20) / Ashworth (10) / Bairstow (10)
SF - Miller (20) / McChesney (10) / Bairstow (10)
PF - Bean (30) / Horvath (5) / McChesney (5)
C - Horvath (25) / Dorius (10) / Zapala (5)

We need a difference making PG in the worst way so I just stuck one in there. I'd prefer a mid/low- major all-conference type of transfer over an unproven bench P5'er for that spot.

I'm hoping McBuckets can play some SF. I know he was talked about as a stretch 4 but he's supposedly very quick for his size and I'm not sure there are many minutes available at the PF spot.

If Miller doesn't play next season we will obviously need a contributing transfer on the wing. I love what a healthy Miller brings (outside threat, leadership, grinder on defense,...). Maybe we limit Miller's minutes a bit to keep him healthy and give McBuckets and Bairstow more time.

I doubt Potter sees the floor this season. Maybe red shirt if we happen to get more transfers in.

I could see Bean and Horvath playing a lot together unless the opponent has a big 7 footer in which case Dorius and Zapala may get extended minutes and Horvath play the PF spot at times.

I think a 5 minute line-up of Transfer PG (?), Bairstow (6'8"), McChesney (6'10"), Horvath (6"10"), and Dorius (7') would cause some teams issues with their length. Outside of Dorius, not a bad group of shooters either.

My prediction
PG- Transfer PG (most likely that UMBC PG) (25)/Ashworth (15)
SG- Shulga (30)/ Brenchley (10)
Wing/SF/3rd Guard- Miller (30)/McChesney (5)/ Bairstow (5)
PF - Bean (30)/ Potter (3)/McChesney (3)/Horvath (4)
C- Horvath (24)/Dorius (10)/Zapala (3)/Potter (3)

So we have 3 open scholarships right now, and 4 if Brock ultimately has to move on?

I would use one on a true PG, one on a 1/2 combo guard, and one on a 2/3. Probably in that order.

I like this lineup. If we can land the A and B transfers you have penciled in, I think we could be competitive.

I like Ashworth but he needs to develop something besides a 3 point shot. He got himself in trouble a lot by dribbling into the baseline then getting stuck and not knowing what to do. If he develops a floater or can shoot off a drive into the lane he could be very good.

We have 3 open ones even with Miller, no? So we should at least have through Transfer C no matter what Miller does.

If we can get transfer A & B that are quality we are a tournament team. I think we may be underselling Horvath a bit. He and Bean bring a lot of skill and versatility to the frontline. We definitely need to sure up the guard position and get a reliable shooter/scorer.

Ashworth may get recruited over but he will still end up having a better college career than the one that left.

If Miller isn’t available, replace with Transfer C.
I like this lineup. If we can land the A and B transfers you have penciled in, I think we could be competitive.
By competitive do you mean 5th place in the conference?
Yeah, top half of MW. Of course a lot depends on who the transfer A and B are. Say one is ERock and the other is a bench P5 sophomore transfer, I’d think we could be dangerous.

Nevada was the 5th place team this past year. They were dangerous. I will be pleasantly surprised if we finish that high this coming season.

Ashworth may get recruited over but he will still end up having a better college career than the one that left.
He will take a step next year. Now if I can get @SLB to make this prediction we will know what will actually happen.

I just heard from a pretty good source that no decision has been made on Miller yet as far as returning. His back still has some major problems that may prevent him from playing again.
Most fans I think don't fully realize how bad Brock's back was at the end of last season. He was nowhere close to 50% health-wise, it's pretty remarkable he was even able to play as much as he was. I really hope he's able to recover, but he's in a pretty unfortunate spot.
And that speaks volumes for where Bairstow and McChesney were (are?) developmentally. If they couldn't even get playing time over a crippled Miller playing at 50% capacity, why are people so sure they are going to make this great leap this year and contribute?

And that starting point guard we have - he didn't score a single point in the last 4 games of the season. Where is the scoring going to come from on this team?

I mentioned in another thread and I think it is worth repeating here: The two biggest needs on this team are:

1) A primary ball handler that is a playmaker and can get to the basket and not turn the ball over, and:
2) An athletic wing that can shoot the three at a minimum 40% rate and also defend the opponent's best wing player. Hipster mentioned that this could be Shulga, but I think we need one in addition to Shulga.
I think with the spine issues Miller is experiencing, he should potentially be recruited over, once we hit the 13th scholly.

I think the staff should grab guys who have shown development to the level of a MWC level starter who are ready to go now. All of the remaining guys they sign should be combo guard scorers. 2 of which can score 35-38%+ from three consistently, not streaky shooters. If Miller can't go by July 1 they need a 4th. With the hight on the team already they need ball handling scorers, 20+ points per game, if one can dish out 5+ assists per game great.

Hit the JC recruits, and transfer portal hard. 3-4 players should want to play in the MWC level. UNLV, SDSU Fresno, sites to visit should be fun, and competition from CSU, Nevada, Boise and UNM should be formidable.

If there's a Shot blocker who is very athletic, 6'9-7'1, he could be the 4th guy as well if Miller isn't healing well.

We have 3 open ones even with Miller, no? So we should at least have through Transfer C no matter what Miller does.
If Miller can go, I was thinking they may target a high schooler with that last scholarship. If Miller is out, then they could get a high schooler and Transfer C. :noidea:

Coaching mistake to play him as much as they did against Tech given what you said.

Yep, he shouldn't have been playing as much as he did with the green light he had with how bad he was injured. Bad coaching.
