Jacob GoinsHOST
so unique from basketball and baseball.
Jacob GoinsHOST
And we talk about this throughout the winter all the time because in basketball, the same five to eight guys are playing offense and defense, right? If Marcus Burton has a bad day on the offensive end, he can make up for it on the defensive end or Aiden Shirell or Samet Yigitoglu, like they can make up for it themselves on one end of the floor or the other, right? In football, it's not the case.
Jacob GoinsHOST
You've got 11 dudes on one side who are absolutely bawling out that if they had the Miami offense against a crappy ACC team, they would be winning the national championship.
Jacob GoinsHOST
They would be destroying teams by 35 points like we saw a year ago, and it wouldn't even be close.
Brandon JadichHOST
and aiden cheryl the transfer from alabama fitting together um but the more i even think about it they also have sam alexis who is a five for five guy as long as sam alexis is back i don't think you need to start igatulu and cheryl um even if you do i don't think they have to play a ton of minutes together aiden cheryl can be fine on his own defending the rim.
Brandon JadichHOST
I know you're going to look at two seven-footers who are probably your two highest-paid guys on the roster outside of probably Marcus Burton transferring in, and you're like, yeah, we should probably start him.
Brandon JadichHOST
But even if they don't, if they just flip-flop and one man's the middle for 20 minutes, the other man's the middle for 20 minutes with Sam Alexis thrown into the equation, I think it can work out.
Brandon JadichHOST
I see pass.
Brandon JadichHOST
But then I thought, I'm like, maybe they don't have to play together.
Brandon JadichHOST
And then the guard play, I'm even starting to buy in on a little bit more.
Brandon JadichHOST
Marcus Burton's really good as long as he's healthy.
Brandon JadichHOST
The transfer from Notre Dame, he's got to be healthy.
Matthew WinickHOST
And you add in freshman guard Jonathan Sanderson, who I think could be really, really good this year.
Matthew WinickHOST
Kind of not necessarily taking over from Marcus Burton, but taking some of those shots.
Matthew WinickHOST
Notre Dame is going to be a very perimeter-oriented team.
Matthew WinickHOST
They added Winthrop, Big Man, Logan Duncombe at the five, but he's not someone who I would expect to be 20, 25, 30-minute-per-game guy.
Matthew WinickHOST
So a smaller roster here, especially compared to Villanova, they're just going to have to out-skill them on the perimeter with Shrewsbury's shooting, Smith's passing, and Kolder's inside-outside game.
Matthew WinickHOST
the guard room could make more sense than those marcus burton teams a lot more shared usage than just one guy kind of dominating the ball and that's something that shrewsbury is able to do with his background but we're gonna have to to see it and this is step one towards doing it uh they will be at a significant size and athleticism disadvantage here
Brian RaufHOST
yeah
Matthew WinickHOST
they will be
FoxHOST
But I think when you're looking at the odds, mine is Indiana.
FoxHOST
And I know, I mean, it's all contingent on can Marcus Burton stay healthy because I think Marcus Burton is one of the best point guards in the country if he can stay healthy.
FoxHOST
I like their front court of Cheryl coming in from Bama.
FoxHOST
And don't ask me to pronounce the starting center for SMU last year.
John RothsteinHOST
More dynamic in the backcourt.
John RothsteinHOST
Marcus Burton from Notre Dame.
John RothsteinHOST
Bryce Lindsey from Villanova.
John RothsteinHOST
Aiden Mustapha from Georgia Tech.
Alex BozichHOST
It was almost like as Lamar Wilkerson went, the team went.
Alex BozichHOST
And I think the thing that makes this team a little bit more, well, a lot more intriguing in my mind, at least, is you have... several of those guys and we've and the guy that has really caught everyone's eye through the first exhibition games has been Bryce Lindsay he's coming off the bench you know Marcus Burton was the guy that came in with all the accolades and rightfully so the numbers he put up in the ACC at Notre Dame were spectacular he's an Indiana kid so he's gonna you know get the headlines but you know he had foul trouble the first two exhibition games and then last game he comes out and dislocates his finger in the first minute and a half and never really is himself the rest of the game but you got Bryce Lindsay to come in off the bench and he's not a guy coming up from, you know, a lower league.
Alex BozichHOST
He's the guy that made, I think six, three pointers in an NCAA tournament game last year for Villanova.
Alex BozichHOST
So, you know, he's done it on a stage.
Alex BozichHOST
I mentioned Connor Enright earlier.
Alex BozichHOST
I mentioned, obviously, the Tate and Connerway situation last year did not go as people thought it would.
Alex BozichHOST
Having a guy like Marcus Burton, having a Bryce Lindsey, having a Darren Harris, who is obviously the most unproven guy of the bunch, but you look at him, he went to Duke for a reason.
Alex BozichHOST
Duke doesn't recruit guys that can't play, so we'll see what he can actually bring to the table.
Bob MoatsHOST
You see what Jaden Mustaf can bring in.
Bob MoatsHOST
So you're seeing not just Aiden Sherrill and Marcus Burton providing 60% of your shots on offense.
Bob MoatsHOST
You're seeing so many other elements.
Bob MoatsHOST
You're seeing how Sam Alexis is blending in.
Bob MoatsHOST
You saw a lot of it last year and kind of what they wanted to do, but it just wasn't the efficacy that you necessarily needed or you were looking for.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
Yeah.
Bob MoatsHOST
But you definitely also have just a – what you're seeing now is like the amount of space that Marcus Burton has to drive is amazing.
Bob MoatsHOST
Yeah.
John SpearsHOST
No.
ScooterHOST
No, right now I would say probably Marcus Burton.
ScooterHOST
Marcus Burton? Yeah.
ScooterHOST
He was at Notre Dame.
ScooterHOST
Yeah.
Cambron FarleyHOST
I think they are significantly improved from last year.
Cambron FarleyHOST
Marcus Burton is going to be their
Logan DarnellHOST
best
Cambron FarleyHOST
player, the Notre Dame transfer.
DionHOST
That could be positive or negative, but they've been consistent.
DionHOST
The thing I dislike, Marcus Burton doesn't look like himself.
Greg WaddellHOST
I think he's hurt, or at least that's what they're trying to sell us on, which is not great, but that seems like the smoke there.
Greg WaddellHOST
I think Illinois is going to be an elite rebounding team.
