Someone please let us know if Rabs and Louth are practicing. If Singleton plays PG, and Batch is the 2, assume Louth at the 5. All the other proven players play or back up the 2-3-4 which may be mostly the 4 regardless of size or skill set. That's Nugent, Octave and Kenney.

We could go back to the spy plan My SWAG (Scientific Wild A$$ Guess) is that Louth is practicing and Rabs is not. I upgrade my WAG to a SWAG because I looked at that twitter post mentioned above that has Rabs dressed differently than his teammates but Coulibaly seems to be dressed like everyone else. Give my speculation as much or as little credence as you think it deserves

Correct
He could be a steal in two years if the weight room and his commitment to everything continues

Most games only six got significant minutes. Of course, that means replacing Gates and Dorsey and adding another to the mix.

Chris Sale's contract runs through 2024 with a vesting option for 2025 if he finishes in the top 10 for AL Cy Young award and he's not on the disabled list at the end of the 2024 season. So maybe more incentive for our guys to play sooner. Of course their injury status will decide.

I think in todays game, the "positions" are a bit cloudy..or smokey... Well, the more common term is bigs. In that category, we have 3 players who fill the 5 spot: Louth, Rabs, Declan R. Neither Louth nor Rabs seems to fit the 4 position at either end. Declan maybe could play it on offense, but not defense. The non center big is Caleb. (4)Last season Joe O. played that position a lot. He may again have to play it some this year, though he is listed on the roster only as a guard. Joe N is listed as a guard-forward. The rest of the roster seems to be wings(2s and 3s) and points.(1s) 8 scholarship players are listed as guards, the 3 bigs above as forwards and Joe N. is the only guard-forward. Per the roster stats, Kenney and Nugent are virtually the same size. He likes to shoot the 3, but if Kenney is a 4, someone the same size should also be able to play that position

I believe that Kenney is at least somewhat taller and as you mention it seems that their skill sets differ. But all are guesses now

That last point is a good one. At this point practically everything is guesswork. The best part is that the gueses about the future are more positive this summer than they have been for several years now. Hopefully the facts, such as a better W/L record, will be positive as well.

Caleb has the wingspan of a kid a couple of inches taller.

Looks like Rabs still on DL; not sure about Luth.

This practice is in Blaney. It is nice to have the second gym so you're not battling the girls for practice time during the school year. Somewhat less important in the summer time when there are no classes to schedule around. Somewhat surprised they're not in Hart

Lots of possibilities, I would think.
