Barring injuries and/or off-the-court stupidity, will we have a deep enough roster for a 2-platoon system?

We don't have a complete roster as yet, but it looks as if we'll have a darned good bench.

Who will be the starters from our current 14, and who would be the next 4- 5 off the bench?

Oh--Hope everyone is having a nice Easter with family and friends or just a bit of time to yourselves.

Well, then, would anyone care to venture a guess about the starting five, both considering Svi's staying or not?

Please?

Don't make me beg.....

I'll start with DG, LV, the transfer brothers, and Udunkie for the first five in. Also, the last five will include two cheerleaders, Big Jay, baby Jay, and then me. :P -- and I do mean LAST five!

UNKNOWN RECRUIT (PG Trevon Duval? C Jeremiah Tilmon? Both if Svi does leave?)

*Red-shirted one year.
[1] Transfer redshirt freshman, eligible to play after the AY2017-18 Fall semester ends. First game should be against NU.
[2] Transfer redshirt Junior by the time he takes the court for the AY2018-19 season.
[3] Transfer redshirt Junior by the time he takes the court for the AY2018-19 season, but will be eligible to petition the NCAA for a 6th year of eligibility due to his medical redshirt after playing in just the 1st 10 games of his freshman year.

POSSIBLE PLATOON LINEUPS w/o UNKNOWN RECRUIT(S)

UAzubuike
BPreston

PLT 2
MGarrett
SCunliffe (after Fall term is over)

Could be pretty effective if Marcus Garrett can run the point and Mitch puts on some muscle weight over the summer.

I'm always afraid to jinx the team by saying we are deep, but it does look pretty darned good so far! Seems there are more unknown quantities than usual, but as training and sculpting and coaching evidences develop, it should be very exciting!

Thanks, Sir Hawk, for your opinions based upon your knowledge of the basketball experience.

LOL!:woohoo: :silly: :lol: ;) B)

Sorry, Bay, wasn't thinking beyond the top ten and the walkons. Didn't think to address us wannabe dreamers.

I really like the looks of our bench depth, but my main concern is how HCBS is going to handle that depth. He has not been one to platoon in the past. It seems like a rotation of 8 is about his max. Personally, I would love to see more development of the bench so that our experience is broadened when we get into foul trouble or cold spells.
