DIAZ is going to shock the world. Has the most talent of all the post players.

This is a perfect world idea but no way it happens

PG: Angel/Thomas (Orris until Thomas is eligible)
SG: Will/Foster (Foster has to play, but his lack of defense, allegedly, scares me)
SF: Shane/Omari/Westicles
PF: DJamer/Niño
C: Gipson/Diaz

Depending on whether or not Omari can develop considerably, and we can get quality minutes out of Westicles, we may be able to play Shane at the four enough that Fincher can redshirt. That's my hope anyway.

That lineup is a little frightening, and not in a good way.

Jevon is reportedly our best recruit, but hr can't even practice with the team until the second semester, can he?

If so, tough to imagine him adding anything until February.

I'm hoping for huge jumps by a lot of guys. Otherwise, I feel we're a bubble team most of the year.  I can't bet against a team with a PG like Angel, though.

I thought he could play around Christmas, but would love to know for sure. He's a huge X factor.  He's damn good.

I have hopes for Foster and Westicles, but not next year.

I thought Jevon was already on campus and could practice with the team now? He just isn't eligible to play until 2nd semester '13/'14

Players get better under Weber, he is really good at developing players. He sucks at getting freshmen ready to play college basketball. I expect to see big strides from Gip, Shane, Diaz, Orris and DJamer. Angel will become a better shooter. I really don't know what to expect from EMAPE. I don't think Will will become better.

Bubble sounds about right.  Others have pointed out the conference isn't exactly going to be great next year.  Half a season of Orris as our backup PG and Spradling/Foster at the 2 are both troubling.

i sorta agree, but art and gip are enough to make it a tourney team.  the 2 and 3 are pretty scary; if southie reverts to mean, it could be a very frustrating year.

I hope I heard wrong, but that's what I heard on the radio, can't remember who it was.

Their points per 100 numbers give me hope.

If Shane doesn't play like Shane from earlier in conference play all of next season, we aren't dancing in March next year.
I think this yoman guy is on to something....

Big 12 play:
Gip nearly 30 pts per 100. Angel 26. Shane 22. Pretty solid trio.

oh, yeah.  i'm not worried about art and gip.  they can score and will score.

southie worries me some, mostly in terms of 3fg%, but even if he falls off in that respect, he is a competent player, and is great at the 4.  i'd be a lot less enthusiastic about seeing him at the 3 and a couple of conventional bigs playing at the same time.

Hope for Diaz is wasted hope.

DJamer will sub for Gip and we will play the exact same set as when Gip is in only maybe look for Shane more before feeding the post than we would when Gip is in.

I think Nino starts at the four and Shane at the 3.

We're really going to miss Martavious off the bench. He really made up for those moments when Will needed to sit. We may not have much in the way of a replacement for those moments next season, although Foster could surprise...

Angel is a first teamer in conference next year, we dance. If not, we don't.

I have hope that Jevon and Marcus together can come in and duplicate what Tay did for us this season.

Jevon not being eligible until 2nd semester really dampens any hopes I had for him next season.

I am afraid that Shane will be less efficient when relied upon for more than he currently gives. He will need to improve off the bounce. As it sits now Angel is the only player capable of getting into the paint if that's the case the defenders will be able to sit on shooters.

I think we have to play big, as previously mentioned we won't have the guard depth to play small again.

If we are going to be a very good team we will need Spradling, hurts to type.

Jevon can participate in unofficial workouts with the team and he will get to play the first game after the completion of the fall semester so depending on the schedule he may get up to 5 non con games before conference play starts.
