PonyDoh -

With all the changes I have lost track -- Who is it - which new guys will start besides Pigtails?
When will the new roster be on the website?

Nyakundi, Haynes & Dia are all returning starters, so that's a start. I'm not too sure I just hand the keys to Jfrog, so I'd see what Walker/Pats and Clink have, Barbre too. Basically, open camp at PG.

Clink & Pats are going to see the floor a ton, even if they aren't the primary ball handler. We need both to dial it w/consistency, from long range this year. Scoring will be an issue for this club, unless they move the ball and find shooters. We need Haynes more assertive on offense. Attack the rim, improve at the FT line. Need NTSU kid to hit his share from deep and add length in the zone.

For some reason, w/o having seen Jfrog on campus, I'd say start Pats, Clink, Haynes, Nyakundi and Dia. Bring Jfrog as a change of pace, Smith as the first big or SF off. Really miss Vilde in the big rotation and on the glass.

Keep moving the ball, find shooters

He's a non-qualifier that was admitted to the university. He has to redshirt this year.
