I think we'll get something out of Hawkins
The skill is there, and he appears to have a high IQ with his game in a 6'10" frame. His issue will be strength as he needs to put weight on badly. I think he can give spot minutes though. But Hamlin will be not much better than last year, and Lieb better not see the floor this year at all which is the intended plan for him early on. Previous Message I expect nothing from Hamlin and Hawkins, and Lieb will hopefully redshirt. Previous Message Seems talented Previous Message with Ayo returning. Griffin's a good talent, but would likely whine about sharing pt with Miller, etc. Hopefully one of the transfers can replace Kipper's defense. Won't take much to replace his offense Previous Message I'm much more excited about Curbelo than Miller at this point. I was much higher on Miller a year or two ago than I am now. At one point I thought Miller was the best recruit UI had a legitimate shot at since Gordon. I think that was wrong. It's not a knock on the kid. I was just too high on him. But I think Curbelo is special. It's really important he's going to get a year with Ayo, too, I think. It'll be interesting to see if we're right. For all the bellyaching we've done about Underwood's recruiting, he's built a pretty good roster. Antigua has seemingly done the dirty work, but Underwood had the vision and ability to bring him on. Feliz was a big loss. And losing Griffin still hurts me. What a knucklehead.
