re: Lsu and former Kansas state guard Marcus Foster showing mutual interest

Would be a great pickup.

Transfers thats still have their redshirt available, and can then play 2+ years are great, better than any recruit for any class unless there is obviously a Top-20 talent.

While it would be nice to pickup a grad big, like a Justin Hamilton or Calvin Godfrey type, for a one year flyer, it would also be nice to have one more guard, specifically a guy that is 6'4-6'7 that can play both guard positions.

While yes, Simmons will play some 3, he will unless we pick somebody else up probably play a lot of 4. With a system such as CJJ, which is both a great thing and can be a bad thing at times, need 5-6 reliable ball handlers and perimter oriented players.

This myth that Ben Simmons cannot or should not play the 4 is mostly people that look purely at height/weight/skill set. With Coach Jones there are no set positions really with the exception of a primary ball-handler, and numbers 1-5 for lane assigments. As anyone saw with Duke small ball is still bery effective when you create matchup nightmares with quickness and fast ball movement.

Lineup to start I would assume is this right now.
1 Quarterman
2 Hornsby
3 Blakeney
4 Simmons
5 Victor

If we get Malik slide, Q to the 6th man role, a role he is excellent at.
