[Mister P]

Welcome back.
The size and length of Newton and Castle will be a nightmare for opposing guards.

expected...but it still feels awesome to know for sure!

Newton-Ball-Castle-Karaban-Clingan...starting 5! let's go!!!!

Welcome back Tristen!!

 

[TheHorde]

Just huge. Our backcourt is really deep, talented, and now experienced with Newton and Diarra back. Hopefully this will also allow TN to further showcase his talent to the league while also benefitting the program. This is a huge win win.

This makes a successful season for Castle much more likely. They have great complimentary skillsets. We will win a bunch of games because he's back--no doubt. As much as people like to bag on him, that's a national championship PG.

A Castle Newton 6’7 backcourt has me pitching a tent a 8am. Today is a good day

I have a feeling Stewart is going to slot in at the 3 spot

What's our ceiling for next year with Newton back? NC6? FF4? Elite 8? asking for takes from senior members with vast knowledge...

We are relying on a freshman starter + 2 sophomores. Another freshman probably starts unless we pick up a transfer SG. And our bench depth is going to be mostly freshman.

I think we can be a top-25 tournament team and make a lucky push for a S16 if we gel, but I don't see this as a championship-level season. Freshman are supposed to go through growing pains... and we have a lot of 'em. Can't expect the same ability to close out games or make the big play in a pivotal moment as guys like Joey or Alleyne.

For me, this feels like an enjoy the development season, and get excited about Clingan/Castle going in the lottery.

For real they’ll be in passing lanes, running dudes off the three point line, and rebounding heavily even from the backcourt with that size and length.

Stewart is a big strong dude...weighs around 220-230...likely to get time at the 4 in my humble opinion...he looks like he could run some people over...
