Love Dibba’s highlight video. Explosive player. 

This team is going to be FUN to watch and some egos are going to have to be put aside regarding the starting lineup/rotations. There is quality depth at the 2-3-4 spots.

Find a quality starting PG and sell some season tickets.

I was worried we didn't have enough scorers, but the additions of Sykes and Dibba gives us 2 big time dynamic scorers. I'm pumped. Let's get a PG and then kill it!

There's going to be some big time competition for starters and playing time! I hope everyone is on campus for workouts this summer!

Lots of posts about needing a pg,but why is everyone ignoring Sharp? I though he was seen as a good recruit to play the 1. So he needed a year to be ready. Lots of red shirts (he was functionally a redshirt) have made major contributions.

I said this a few days ago.

Any team that wants to be taken seriously needs a savvy point guard and I wouldn’t want to bet a super athletic team ready to compete on a sophomore with zero experience as your only option.

Hopefully he is ready to help but you definitely need competition and depth there.

I'm pretty high on Sharp but I think this team is ready to compete right away and you can't trust a guy that only played garbage time last year to start and take the bulk of the minutes.

Trey Miller likely re-entered the portal for a reason because he sees them recruiting over him at point guard.  I think they're gonna land someone that can start & play the bulk of the minutes with Sharp getting some run off the bench.

I was high on Sharp going into last season, but unless he makes significant weight and strength gain, I'm not sure he is ready for the rigors of starting a full season.  Regardless, at the very least, we need depth at that position.   I think with an experienced and proven PG, this team really can compete for a top 4 spot in the valley, especially considering ALL the changes in the offseason throughout the conference.

He's played about 10 minutes of D1 bball. He has a long way to go. Injury really put him behind the 8 ball last year. We would be in trouble if he had to be the starter at the beginning of the year. He very well may develop into a good MVC level PG, but he isn't ready for big minutes. He may be fine as a backup as he continues to develop. Additionally, he is the only true PG on our roster. We need a minimum of 2. We don't even have a combo guard who can play PG.

Possible starters:

Transfer PG TBD

Dibba

Davis

Sykes

Hensley

And a bench of Mayo, Steffe, Bey, Sharp, Moreno, maybe Webber would be a scary rotation. I’m actually OK with Hensley starting at the 5 with all that length/athleticism around him and bringing in Moreno as needed when there are beefier dudes to bang with.

Based on the videos I've seen, Saluki fans should be looking forward to seeing a few "Dibba Dunks."

Time to snag a point guard and check the final box.
