2024-25 Roster, Rotation & Stats Prediction

[MHettel]

It was reported that Hugley came in about 315, but is already now down in the 270s. Sounds like he is extremely motivated and Sean is working his magic with him. Injuries of course a concern, but sounds like he is back to the right frame of mind

Yeah, thats good news. We probably want him in the 250-255 range. Certain matchups in the BE will require that we just bang away or we'll get mauled. We just need him to give us 3 or 4 stretches a night of 3-5 minutes. He will put up big scoring numbers during his stretches.

No need to worry about O Rebounding when the ball is going through the hoop. :)

For Hugley, that is a lot of weight to lose in a very truncated amount of time. I hope it was done well monitored.

Co-worker of mine has a son who is being recruited high D1 who played in the EYBL Vegas event. He actually got a chance to speak with Sean about both this upcoming season and his son. Sean told him they will be just fine and he doesn't have any concern. My co-worker told me Sean was being diplomatic, his face told a different (more positive) story. He and Sean have a history going back to a previous family member's recruitment.

A buddy just texted me that Traore blew out his ACL in practice. If true, rotation just got smaller.

Heard that as well. That SUCKS!!!

Definitely a blow to this year’s roster if true (like you said and heard similar). Since I’m normally a half full kinda guy, sounds like our roster got better next year? That’s all I got.

He went down in a heap at practice yesterday. It didn't look good.

Oh, we're gonna get destroyed in the interior this year.

I already had stated that interior defense and offensive rebounding will be our weakness. And now, our best guy at both of those things is likely out.

Teams will attack Freemantle relentlessly. He's awful on defense and its gonna be a bucket or a foul.

The response to this injury is to play faster. Fast break on everything and see if we can get more transition buckets than they can score in the halfcourt. Hugley is not suited for that pace. Swain just saw his minutes double.

If you asked me which injury would set us back the most this year I'd have said McKnight is #1A, with Traore as #1B.

We just dont have another guy that offers what Traore does.

Has anyone heard anything definitive regarding Traore's injury. I had heard that it was an ACL but based on the Blue/Grey scrimmage report in today's Enquirer it didn't sound as ominous. After the injury walked to the locker room on his own and returned a little later with ice on his knee (no mention of crutches). I recognize that ACL's can vary from person to person.......holding out hope my info was incorrect.

Everyone knocks Free's defense, and it's warranted, but he's also a match-up nightmare for the opposition. On a team like this, let him eat on offense! We can't expect him to be an All-American defender. He will score more than he gives up.

Also more opportunity for Swain to develop quicker. It sucks, but the roster is much better this year.

Hoping the injury is less severe.
