In reality, Hankins should be redshirted to step in for JB/CWill in 2020-21. Since Lansing is in job preservation mode, if it's even still savable at this point, I bet it's all hands on deck this winter.

I don't know about that...
He's got Barnes (SR) , Neese (SOPH), Cam (SOPH), Williams (SR) and Key (JR) all ahead of him. I'm not sure Lansing would be reckless and waste a season on him just for the sake of having the option to use him if needed... Let's be honest - if we really need Hankins in favor of one or two of the 5 players I listed then he's likely out of a job regardless as that will mean things are not going well. I don't suspect that Hankins will get much of a run next year and that's not a knock on him - just a position of depth and experience. Hell, Tyeshon Martin even played decent in the limited minutes he saw the floor - assuming he sticks around if you get in a pinch he's not the worst walk-on the bring off the bench.
So you think having 8 guards on the team can save his job?
You mentioned Martin but left out D. Eight total with JH.
Your point is well made.
Yeah - wasn't on purpose. I considered him. I mentioned Martin only if we were in a predicament. I feel like D can and will play some 3 for us which is why I left him off this list. I feel like Hankins is going to primarily compete for minutes with those I listed. Though, D will probably play some 2 so should have included him.
Guard can mean a lot of things. We could play 2, 3, or 4 guards. We even have a point-forward.
Be interesting to see how the 2 CB's help in the rotation.

Ya I don’t really look at a 3, 4 or 5 as a guard in college basketball... But whatever it’s a pointless argument (pun intended).
I included 4 only because of Williams. I thought "swingman" or wing denotes a 2/3. Teams commonly play 3 guards.

When Dad told me about the "Arley and Harley" blunder in the final game, I thought they were twins. I'm still not too old to learn.
They are twins; Arley fell a year behind Harley because of a childhood injury/illness.

Uncle Harold, Gerstmeyer '55 was a year behind Arley, a sophomore on the great '53 Gerstmeyer team

I enjoy all the recounting of Western Indiana HS basketball history and lore, but isn't this topic supposed to be about our new MBB recruit Jacob Laravia?
I've seen him twice live and twice on TV/video. I just want to say two things. He appears to be a very good passer and he is a better handler than any player he has been compared to on this forum except, maybe, Windler.
blame SycamoreBacker for sidetracking the discussion
I'll take all the blame. Lock me up.

Don't worry -- I'm sure the DA will release you on RoR and the judge will dismiss the case.
