IUFLA Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 20 minutes ago, tdhoosier said: I'm surprised at how many people have Carlyle penciled into the starting line up. This is not to say that i don't think he's a good player or I don't want him. I do. He has 3 years of eligibility. BUT knowing who is coaching this team, unless Carlyle lights the world on fire (on both end of the court), I just don't think there is any way he's starting over Gallo. Guys, this is Woody. The man who values defense and veterans on the floor. The only exception to this rule was Mgbako and that's because the guys behind him on the depth chart were equally as bad at defense. I also think Gallo is very underestimated by some. He was asked to do WAY too much last year. Sandwich him in between Rice and a sophomore Mgbako and he's going to thrive. Our 1-3 is not going to be a below average defender in Mgbako and 2 brand new guards who have zero games of experience in this defensive system. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong, but I won't be wrong on this one. 😄 If I'm not mistaken, the rumor was when Galloway pledged his support to Woody, he also said he'd be open to a bench role...At least that's the rumor I remember...

Will be interesting to follow, I’ll be pretty disappointed at this point if Ballo doesn’t pick us tbh. if Payne would be ok with a backup role it would have our center covered for next year at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what his defense looks like, so that could change things, but his offensive numbers were poor last year from an efficiency standpoint. Seems like he was asked to carry a heavy load when he played, so maybe that played a part in it. But I don’t see him as a lock to start.

Not saying Gallo wouldn't be open to a bench role. Not saying Carlyle doesn't have the potential to be a star. We just have history on how Woody coaches and how he uses his personnel. Every time we expect him to deviate from this, he doesn't. Edited April 15 by tdhoosier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And opens the door up for someone else. Personally a guy like Amari Williams would be awesome to switch up the pace and have the potential to play a faster pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you're saying, and for the most part I'd agree...Woody's been loyal (at times to our detriment) to a fault, and starters, short of being injured, keep their spots...

What examples do we have of the bold? I'm trying to think of a time he didn't start someone who clearly should be starting/not giving someone mins he should be? I do remember CMW's first year there was some CLAMORING to start TG or JG at the 3 over Kopp. I found that pretty remarkable.

KDB Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 I don't think you get Conwell if Carlyle is already in the fold. I would be shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
