Then why did you say F@#$ when you first saw the news? |

So... you're telling me there's a chance that Ty Isaac will be taking the ACT in an Oklahoma tornado this weekend. Do I have that right? |

This is almost definitely because I Direct Messaged him on Twitter last week! /s |
| 7 weeks 23 hours ago | That's a valid argument, and |
That's a valid argument, and it could very well be what happens. My point is, would Beilein be willing to stop using basic principles and parts of the offense he's been running for 30+ years? Because that's what he'd have to do to make that work. |

You can't just assume that McGary will transform himself from an athletic post player to a mid-range shooter who can make 3s with consistency. He might be a 4 at the NBA level, but there's literally no evidence behind the statement that he's a "4 all day long," especially in John Beilein's offense. In this system he's clearly a 5, and playing McGary there IS getting him the ball where his skill set can be maximized. He's not a jump shooter, he's a post player. Playing him at the 4, where he'll be asked to be away from the basket, would be doing him a disservice. Do I expect him to see some minutes there? Sure. But the majority of his time on the floor should be spent at the 5. To your other point, Horford is and always will be a 5, expecially after spending all of last offseason adding weight to his frame. He hasn't logged a single second of playing time at the 4, and that's for a reason. I think John Beilein is one of the best coaches in the country, and I trust that he'll put every player in a position that will best help the team succeed. |
| 7 weeks 1 day ago | And Zack Novak is a shooting |
And Zack Novak is a shooting guard. That didn't stop Beilein from playing him 30+ minutes every night at the 4. Robinson III is athletic enough to guard multiple positions, and can move to the wing once Hardaway Jr. departs (probably after next year anyway). John Beilein's offense is predicated on having a 4 man who can spread the floor with his shooting ability. That's one of the big reasons why we've never seen Morgan and Horford on the floor at the same time. In my opinion, McGary will see occasional time at the 4, but will play the majority of his minutes at the 5. Morgan and Horford are strictly 5's in Beilein's offense, and would you really rather play Biefeldt than Robinson III? I wouldn't, especially when they are roughly the same size and Robinson III is much more athletic. I could definitely be wrong but, at least next year, I expect to see Robinson III playing the 4 a lot more than Biefeldt, Horford, Morgan, McLimans, or McGary. |
| 7 weeks 1 day ago | The coaches telling Robinson |
The coaches telling Robinson he'd play the 2 might have been a conversation that happened before Smotrycz left. I'd be surprised, now that circumstances have changed, if he doesn't see plenty of time at the 4. |

"Corey Pearson" is actually named Corey Person. / minor nitpicking Continue with celebration. |
| 11 weeks 3 days ago | WOOOO GO BLUE BABY! |
Couldn't be happier for Douglass and Novak (two kids that no other D1 program wanted), and the rest of the team. To say it's well deserved would be an understatement. Go Blue! |
