This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

As You Said, It's Early.... by dillon77
And as I hope I inferred, there will undoubtedly be names that start popping up after the 2020 class is put to bed. Hopefully, some of those names will be forwards and/or posts.
But I still don't expect the Irish to be back in the "center-power forward-small forward (wing)" set of old. ND -- and UConn -- for that matter, have not played that way for quite some time with motion offenses that favor passing, cutting and open shots. Yes, a center (or two) is absolutely necessary, but I see it more of a center, forward (Aconwa/Westbeld prototype) and three guards, one of whom is a bit taller. And I think the prospect list will be poroportionate.
Maybe not "positionless" basketball, but more like the recent championship team, where Arike was playing wing d on the 2-3 zone.
