2016-17 Roster

Postby East Coast Mustang » Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:37 pm

By year of graduation:

Sterling
B. Moore

Ojeleye
Emelogu

Shake
Foster

Kapita
Froling
Fernando
Wilson
McDowell

Only thing we're really missing this at this point is a quick, change-of-pace PG. Everything else is awesome- length, athleticism, size (shortest guy up there is 6'5"), you name it. LB is going to have to figure out how to spread the minutes around to keep everyone happy, but this team is going to be really fun to watch.

It will be interesting to see how quickly the young 'uns contribute. It has the potential to be an amazing roster.

Not to rain on the parade, but who get's lost in this group? That is a lot (especially after this year) and I don't think all 11 will play.

Emelogu is a questionmark. They are all getting playing time. That is how we bridge the gap.

Can any of the new guys shoot 3s? All we have returning is Shake and Brown.
I miss Troy Matthews.

They might be working on that as we speak.

All these bigs won't be in one class.

Also, The folks not sure about Emelogu returning aren't on staff or the team. Not are where they are getting it from, but several close to program say he looks closer to Va Tech good than not playing

I went to one of the last practices before the UConn game and Gu was running against the starters. He looked good. I didn't post about it at the time but assuming he has no setbacks, I'd guess he'll be able to play next season.

Tom and Froling for sure. Id imagine McDowell too. Plus don't forget Semi has range. Jarrey will get more consistent with time

Last year about this time people raised the same question. Then we had a season ending injury, a redshirt, a transfer and we sent a towel out to be laundered and it didn't come back.

Stuff happens.

I'd rather have this kind of minute problem than this past season's minute problem.

Crazy we will have a college roster with the shortest guy being 6'4"/6'5"

Wilfong is 6'2" but yes, we are large and long.

Probably right about that. Someone will probably redshirt which is not something that's bad.
