All I can add about the debate over Tysonâs ability and that other players recruited by CKS havenât worked out, we are 2 1/2 years and two NCAA appearances from when we recruited Gabe and Mike. Our realistic recruiting âpoolâ has changed significantly

Right. And I definitely acknowledged that. But every single guy CKS recruits isnât going to work out. That just doesnât happen. Iâm very optimistic about this guy, but thought that seemed way too high as his possible floor based on the limited information I think most of us have about him, which includes trusting CKS.
No problem Sh AggieâŠbut you must give Scooby extra treats today.
Her name is spelled Scoobi cause she is a girl Great Dane. Bo SS Coog?

Not going to debate him. Just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine. He has had a history of bringing up old comments out of the blue. 
So letâs take a stab at the rotation this season and the next.
2019-20
Jarreau/ Mills
Brooks/Sasser
Hinton
Gorham/ Alley
WhiteâŠGresham/ Harris
2020-21
JarreauâŠSasser/Maybe Shead
MillsâŠTyson
HintonâŠLedee/Mark
GorhamâŠAlley
WhiteâŠGresham
As you can see there may be some tough decisions to make in a couple years.

Ledee would play center because he would be literally be our tallest 6-9 and one of the heaviest 235. His quickness and athleticism would play better there. White is only 6-7, keep him at Pf.
Not the way it works progs and is the very problem with Ohio State trying to force a kid with wing skills to the middle. I donât doubt he plays some there but I see a lot of 4 and maybe some 3 with him.

Not saying you are wrong putting White as starting center but I just canât picture that being a long term solution when we play top 75 teams. He holds his own against other power forwards but I donât see him lasting 10 minutes at the post against true post players without fouling out.

Heâs not the quickest at the wing thatâs why his defense suffered and wasnât playing much until he grew a few inches and got bigger physically with in 6-8 months. He has finally stop growing, so now he can just work on his game.
No, he stopped playing because he had no idea how to defend in the post. Heâs not a C, and he doesnât want to play that position.
He will not be at UH if Sampson is selling him on playing C here.
If thatâs the case, then I could see him not coming here, js.
The reason I like White at center, and maybe it ultimately doesnât work, but it enables us to get all 3 PFs in the rotation opposed to both centers. I prefer to rotate Harris and Gresham with the the one playing the best getting the first min each game off the bench. So really I prefer Alley being the 2nd off the bench opposed to the 3rd in order at PF.
Plus that gives us more spacing and offensive ability to start the game and can save some early fouls on our Gresham/Harris combination.
Cincy and Ucf gave us fits and beat us because they had a solid and very tall center. Just remember how the rebouding went against those two conference foes. Even LSU to a certain extent, js.
Yet, we beat Cincy 2 out of 3 times. Split with UCF. Beat LSU, without Jarreau.

Yes, but look at Kentucky. We were fortunate to be that closed. Just looked at the first half. Itâs a difference between a Sweet 16 and a Final Four run.
OK I get where you are coming from. But then Iâd have White listed as center and backup forward and move Alley to back up Hinton on the wing.
If you think UH can compete fairly evenly with the likes of Kentucky or Duke or North Carolina or even Memphis on the recruitment of nationally ranked 7 ft HS centers then I donât know what to tell you.

Remember the days when we had to worry about roster turnover on a year to year basis because players just didnât like the culture? Weâre talking THIS decade. Now weâre talking about limited scholarship numbers because players actually want to stay, and the ones who leave are leaving early for the NBA. Who woulda thought the difference a head coach makes?
