He feels like a developing Karl Anthony-Towns guy, and not a Center, so you are totally correct, gotta get a big big
I feel like we may see Fawaz a good deal more than we expect. He'll likely be a limited scoring threat, but he can definitely play D and rebound at this stage.
Really depends on system being made to fit. Looking at the NBA, 2 of the best teams start centers who can't body anyone in the paint (Porzingis and Holmgren).

It is unlikely there will be an effective transition to a new system offensively next year. I'll ask again, is Malone leaving? If Malone is on campus he's probably the starting center, with BD 4 and Rancik at 3.
6'11" / 185 isn't 7'1" / 208 and certainly isn't 7'2" / 240.

Dak is not 185.
Correct. Probably 175.
Probably telling that both of those teams are stacked with talented perimeter defenders
Yep. Systems built around court spacing to take advantage of speed & shooting ability.
Ummmm.... Malone???? Did I miss something?
I do think that our starting front court is pretty locked in with Malone (C), Dak (Stretch-4), and Rancik (F) along with Tacko as a backup C.
Barrington at PG. We could use an established 3 & D SG or Wing. Since we lost RJ, we need to sign a sniper from 3, too, even if he is a defensive liability who can come in and launch 3 or 4 in about 10 minutes of court time.

We may be hoping one of the freshman is that guy.
Yes, he stole SHT's spot as the most *comment redacted*
Huh. I thought that was LL's spot.
No, Utah's former #34 could at least move.

While we're taking about rosters, did you realize we lost our admin? She's retiring.
Weird quote by Boyle.
Boyle said. “We’re losing our administrative assistant, and I’m not sure if we’re going to be able to replace her."
Maybe we're tapping admin pay for NIL? Or are we just that broke?

I think Joe Sanders is going to surprise in year one.
If Tad plays him.

Men’s basketball notes: Tad Boyle trying to fill spots on CU Buffs’ roster, staff
For the first time since the CU basketball program began planning for the expected move to a 15-player roster limit, head coach Tad Boyle hinted the Buffaloes may not remain at 13 scholarships afte…

Sounds like Tad is still open to adding 2 even after the Mani signing. Kind of viewing the Mani signing as an elevated walk on truly. Glad Tad's open to not sticking to 13 for the right kids.
Wouldn't be shocked if Mani and another frosh guard like Johnson redshirted.
Did anyone think Mani was signed to be more than a guy who could be brought in off the bench to do more than go to a spot and potentially give the team a lift by knocking down a couple 3s in limited minutes?Men’s basketball notes: Tad Boyle trying to fill spots on CU Buffs’ roster, staff

Boyle originally said he was only going to bring in 2 --- mayyyyyybe 3 -- transfers. I was afraid that Mani was #2, and that Boyle was done. That was why there was some outcry about adding Mani, I think.
Glad to hear he's going to bring in 1 and maybe 2 more transfers after Mani.
Right. But I think people overreact while coming from a premise assumption that the coach is stupid and/or lazy so they aren't seeing what is obvious to knowledgeable fans.

Isn’t Mani that little fella in Modern Family? Can’t imagine him having a smooth jumper
Is this knowledgeable fan in the room with us now?

Agreed, I will say I’d feel better about next years rotation with a bigger established wing defender that can be rotation player. Ala Fisher. Figured this wasn’t an alternative but nice to see in print. Worried Tad said big but I know he likes playing big.
Having the rotation below wouldn’t suck at all really just don’t want to make any of the freshman start.
PG: Hargress
Wing: transfer (Fisher)
Big Wing: Sebi
Big: Dak
Big: Malone
With Sanders, Kossaras, Crawford, another frosh guard off the bench.
If we get another big does that mean Kossaras or Sanders starts? That scares me.

That aligns with what I saw as the primary needs from the portal.
1. PG to run the show. Check.
2. Wing 3&D who can start. Still a need.
2. Depth SG who can hit 3s (even if he's a limited minute defensive liability). Check.
I thought a post player was a "nice to have" rather than a need as long as Malone was returning and they'd figured out the back issue.
