Alright, here’s what I’ve got for partnership tier list from what we know/assume rn for 2021. I’m not really ranking within each tier. Also taking suggestions on partnerships’ “couple names.”
Tier 1:
Cribb
Dalcena
T2
Tier 1A:
Schalk/Brunner (Schrunner? Bralk? Brulk?)
Budinger/Patterson (Pattinger)
Tier 2:
Casebeer/Bomgren (Bombeer?)
Hyden/Kolinske (Kolyden? Kolinden? Kolinsken?)
Allen/Benesh (Allenesh)
Ricardo/Evans (No name, but for the Pokémon fans, Team Kangaskhan feels appropriate)
Tier 2A:
Priddy/Lee (Priddlee, ‘21 WorldChamps)
Piotr/Rafu (Piot fu)
Ed/Skylar (Del Rat? Rat Sol?)
Mckibbins
Field/Beranek (EnT)
Tier 3:
Loomis/Brunsting (Brunstoomis, Loomsting)
Connole/Roschitz (Connoschitz)
Free agents:
Rosenthal
Frishman
Drost
Partain
Lotman
Burik
Roberts
Satterfield
D. Budinger
Amorim

From what I heard a few days ago Kolinske and Evans are still together.

I'd love to see Lotman and Partain get back together.

I feel like Ratledge would make sense with Rosie who is certainly better than Skyler.

I know it has been said many times on this board, but the average age of those blockers is scary. Also a lot of free agent defenders down there. If Kolinske and Evans are playing together, would it benefit Partains to play with Ricardo for a season? Despite the attitude, there is certainly some wisdom there.

I'm just not sure Ricardo communicates well enough with his limited English, lives on the opposite coast, plus he isn't the type of offensive player that benefits from Miles' strengths which is moving around the set location and going on two frequently. I'm in no way saying that Ricardo isn't brilliant. I'd also be concerned about Ricardo staying healthy. |

I doubt it would be Ricardo, strikes me as a conflict of play styles for sure. Would he give Piotr another call? Maybe he dips down and scoops Logan Webber or another young large blocker? |

Why do you feel Hyden and Ricardo wouldn't play well together? They both seem to play a traditional game and both sideout quite well. That being said I could see Rafu and Ricardo play a couple events together since they are both in Florida

That being said I could see Rafu and Ricardo play a couple events together since they are both in Florida Because Hyden plays his game relying on his blockers athleticism. Lot of option balls. Additionally Hyden needs to run a variety of different sets which doesn’t strike me as Ricardos strong suit as one of the few remaining bump setters (I think ButteryHands will particularly appreciate this point). It also strikes me as a personality clash with Hyden wanting to be the floor general and playing very high level defensive chess but now trying to do it through a language barrier with someone who also has a very strong personality. Could they be good? Absolutely. Will they be competing to make many sundays? I don’t think so. |

I do see how the setting could be an issue. Although I think they would have lots of mutual respect for each other. I certainly wouldn't want to officiate those guys.

Looking at this list, what are the odds Drost goes back to blocking, just based on availability of blockers? Besides Lotman, there's not really a blocker available that'd be better than he is.

Geographically does not make sense, but Hyden/Rosenthal should take a stab at Webber. They have seen players that show promise and that don't. Execute a trial and analyze from there
Not many young talents prospering but he could benefit significantly if he relocated for a summer.

Plenty of geezers in the backcourt too. Patterson, Lucena, Hyden, Rosie, Priddy, Loomis all 40+ and Billy Allen is 39. I'd like to see Partain with Doherty because I think thats the highest level gettable partner for him, although I agree Ricardo may have a lot to offer, but I think he lives in Florida so perhaps not as much because they wouldn't practice together. |
