Maybe it’s just me but whether your Banks/Gunn or Reneau/Mac, it doesn’t surprise me to hear other teams reaching out to gauge interests mid season. Feels like nowadays the standard isn’t about being the first to talk to a guy once he enters the portal, it’s now about getting them to verbally commit to you before they even formally enter. Just feels different currently because the season has been so bad and we have little to no confidence our key guys will stick around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re almost certainly leaving. Reneau is who was being reached out to but I don’t think things went too far. It’s sounding like MM could be back. I still believe Galloway is back as well. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still of the belief that with our NIL and clear need of guard minutes, this ship could be righted very quickly. Galloway is a very good ball player. Put scorers around him, doesn't matter 5th man or 6th man, same difference. MM will grow up. Reneau will contender for player of the year. McNeeley can ball. Can do it all. Just don't try and force him at the 2, MM at the 3, and Reneau at the 4. Grab some speed, some scoring, and some shooting. Get back to preaching defense and rebounding. Be about toughness and business, not instagram and Twitter takes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Woodson can convince the right guys to come back and he has a pretty solid track record of getting guys to return/not transfer. But, he's going to have to change how he recruits and the style of play. McNeely, while obviously a great shooter, is more athletic and explosive than MM. Get McNeely at the 3, MM at the 4 and Reneau at the 5. Galloway back. Then go hit the transfer portal hard for veteran guards and wings that are smart, tough and can create and/or make shots. Problem is, it could just as easily go other way where we lose almost all of those guys and it's basically a rebuild. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way MM being back matters is if Mike moves him to the 4 and he accepts that role. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree, he's also going to have to be coached to do something other than stand and watch his man collect offensive rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that those guys could form an elite offensive unit, with the right PG. And Trey at the 2 works fine if he's surrounded by plus shooters. But defensively and on the glass, that unit will get lit up unless there are significant jumps from Reneau and Mgbako on that end. At least it would be more enjoyable to watch than this year's brand of basketball. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s actually not true. MM projects to be really good next year regardless of if he is at the 3 or 4. He’s one of the best FR in the B1G. That said the team would likely be better if he’s at the 4. The problem with that is Reneau. Not MM. Reneau wants to be the 4 last I heard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with Reneau being a 4 if he trims his fat the same percentage drop he did last season and he starts guarding at an elite level. He should be modeling his game and body to at least look like college Blake Griffin. He has the build. Obviously not the hops but man, if he gets that fat completely off and takes one more big jump. He's a legit POY contender. Does he realize that? Let's say Reneau gets 32, almost all at the 4. Maybe 5 as the 5. Bako gets 13 minutes as the 4 and another 19 at the 3. McNeeley gets 21 at 3 and 9 as a 2. It can work. Problem being, who plays the 5 the other 35 minutes. Can't be Sparks as is.

There will be several new additions. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensively, yes he has shown a lot of promise. Defensively he is still a mess (though less so than at the start of the year). His lack of awareness and lateral quickness kill him guarding wings, but he has the size and frame to be competent guarding college 4s. I look at Mgbako and see Christian Watford. I hope Woodson does too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
