And maybe, just maybe Travis is trying to run the same game philosophy he used when he had better players at certain positions back in 18, 19 and 20? If in his recruiting is he trying to fill holes to fit his style or is he just getting from the portal and high school recruiting what’s willing to come here because their other offers either fell through or were limited in their choices?
I was encouraged by last nights game. Who says you can’t have a 6’10” point guard? Our lack of a true point guard is glaringly evident. Not to knock Whitney, which I guess I’m doing but he would be better served coming off the bench to relieve a point guard than starting. He does bring a different dynamic when on the floor but as a starter other teams prepare for his style. He would be more effective coming off the bench and adding a different look. The same goes for Moody. His skill set is instant offense and not trying to guard a three and wear out his ability to score.
I didn’t catch the first part of last nights game but I believe the starters were Smith, Bannon, Aoki, Vasquez and Martin? This gives you 3 guys 6’9” or taller Martin at 6’5” and Vasquez at 6’3”. Now you’ve got the rebounding strength on both offense and defense. You also have 10 fouls to give at the center spot (Andersen & Aoki) with 2 6’!0” to compliment and another 10 fouls. With 4 shooters on the floor it then opens Andersen and Aoki to play at the basket. Your 8 man rotation then should include Whitney, Moody and Jaxson.
Just my thoughts. If we have any chance of making an impact in conference this would be my choice.

Smith = Thomas and Aoki = Oke.
The starting line-up was Vasquez, Martin, Whitney, Bannan and Thomas.
Whitney got 2 fouls within the first 4 minutes, which is why he may not have been on the court when you tuned in.
Who is the best point guard in the Big Sky right now?

I have always found it interesting, and odd, that so many fans of a school like UM find it acceptable or necessary to comment publicly on whether they are "happy" with a team or not, or whether they find the team or season to be "acceptable", or whether they find a game or something in a game to be an "embarrassment". (I'm not including individual plays or smaller things in my comment.) nMy reaction, to myself, to those types of comments is who do they think they are. My view is that whether you pay for a ticket, make a donation, or pay state taxes, you really aren't entitled to think any of those things. I know it's a free country, and everyone can think anything they want, but that also means that I can't think "who do they think they are" about those people.

As a fan i'm frustrated, In my opinion they can play with anyone in the conference and have just came up short in a few games. My happiness does not matter, been a fan for over 45 years and will always be a fan. The success that Grizzly athletics has is something I enjoy but does not define me.
