Just sayin... if Cedric Coward is in the NBA rather than Durham, there are certainly scenarios where Foster and Cayden are starting together in the backcourt.

Yep, very true. I made this same point earlier. But i suspect Jon has a backup plan ready to activate to bring in another starter-quality transfer if it becomes clear Coward is gone.

The main problem with starting both Cayden and Caleb is who plays those backup ballhandler minutes when they rest? And what happens if one gets injured? Harris and Evans could fill in, but we really need another player.

Unless we bring in another ballhandler, I expect at least one of Cayden or Caleb (or Coward, potentially) to be on the floor pretty much all the time. They could still both start, but they'd have to stagger their rest. The plan for dealing with injuries would be to not get injured.

They would simply not rest at the same time. Just because two guys start together doesn't mean they come out at the same time.

This is the bigger issue. Even with Coward (who isn't a ballhandler), we're really light on ballhandlers. I hope we're adding one of those one way or the other.

Cayden 30 mpg at PG. Foster 10 minutes at PG and 10 minutes at SG. Cameron plays as a point forward much of the time, similar to Flagg.

Too bad Coach doesn’t have any eligibility left. Maybe we can find a loophole? 🤔
 
It may have no bearing on Wilkins' decision, but Maryland assistant coach Wabissa Bede played for the Mass Rivals AAU team, the same team that Wilkins and 2 other players on Maryland's roster played for. A tweet popped up in my feed that Maryland thinks they have developed a pipeline to this program through Bebe. Another article states that Wilkins and the 2 other players are close friends.

Thanks for sharing this information. I still feel like this is more of an "AND" situation than an "either or". I still see a situation where this is all true AND Wilkins also has enough personal morals and standards to not want to go to Maryland. LOL!
