So, with the season ending the way it did. Do you guys think AL will come back? Personally, if possible I'd rather him and Sid go and we add Sanogo and Etienne. How do you guys feel...…………..

Sorry should have specified which Etienne but "Mac" was the one I was talking about. Sounds like if AL leaves we could be getting Fatts. And I think I'd rather have Fatts
He would have to sit a year but Cole has 2 years of eligibility and would still be blocking his path to a starting role. It's just too many good guys, I don't see it.
But if Fats is even..... A) a transfer ( where did this come from ? ) ......and B) an eligible one.....and Dan loves Fats...I'm sure we'll see more small ball ( YUK matching up vs. legit sized teams ! )
Well considering this crazy transfer rumor was started and then put into overdrive by the Boneyard, I questioned this whole conversation on Russell as I posted above...plus I also read this tweet on the URI board:Gaffney will start and Fatts isn’t coming. Gaffney has a much better 3 point stroke than any of these guys.
I didn't think so...... but I'll repost a Hurley quote from the fall: “I play three guards, and I want them to all have interchangeable skills: be able to play in ball screens, on and off the ball, create and playmake, but also be able to score. So, when my system’s at its best, I have three guys that have the ability to do a multitude of things. In order for that to work, to play the elite teams, you’ve got to have high-level size. So, getting a guard that would have the ability to match up with a three, or the third perimeter guy for a high-level opponent, it usually has to be a 6-6, 6-7, 6-8 guy. So, that big guard’s critical. "It’s a rumor that makes no sense at all from the fit standpoint. There is no room for him, what’s needed is maybe a 5th guard who can defend the ball. That’s what will be missed with AG

Guess you haven't read the old news, Marshall has been leaking players like a sieve :Marshall wanting to play AG 38 minutes a game makes no sense to me because he has one of the best returning starting backcourts in the AAC in Tyson Etienne and Erik Stevenson. Even if he wanted AG as a PG in a 3 guard offense it’s a stretch and would make his team incredibly smallish. Etienne and Stevenson are 6’1” and 6’2”” and how do you board playing 3 guys under 6’2”?
True....seems like a bunch of "incident's" from this quote: "But on the inside, Marshall said the team dealt with more off-the-court drama than any other season in his 13 years at WSU. "My guess is there was some incident within the team last year and the team did not like how he handled it and lost respect. .

With AG gone and if Sid goes ........Sanogo (powerful big ready for the rotation) and Martin ( sit 1 to play 2 ??? ) would be my wish list:So, with the season ending the way it did.

True.... with RJ Cole replacing AL's slot as a PG, it'd be good to have a versatile SG/SF for Hurley's 1 in 4, out with the open scholly. Plus this kid looks like he can bully up, rebound and play physical @ 6-5/220lbs ( though it's a big jump up from the MAAC).... With Polley still on the mend and Akok a big question mark at all for next year, DH might rather go with a grad transfer, who he's sure won't have to sit out. He's got Springs now available for a back up role up front and if anything happens (Sid?) with another scholly opening, then he can always go after a big.Can make 3s. 39.3%. Vital's 3 point production needs to be replaced. Gaff and Bouk are solid 3 point shooters as is Adams - add this guy and all 5 guards are 3 point threats.
