Starting lineup next year

Postby Hoop Fan » Sat Apr 21, 2012 12:11 pm

i would say Nick Russell, Ryan Manual, Jalen, and Blaise for sure. Thats a pretty good 4 for CUSA but pretty young. Not sure the fifth. Maybe Cannen if LB can get him going. Maybe Bernardi for shooting. Can LB find a nasty scoring machine of a Juco to play the 3? We can offer the chance to play for a hall of fame coach and be the featured scorer right away.

I would think we just went up a few notches in our level of juco appeal.

Do we know if Jones and Cunningham are going to stick around after this semester?

Based on Jalen's tweet when LB was hired, it seemed like he will stay.

Leslee & Cotton could start too. Uche & Bernardi providing depth. Lots of ways to go, but no sure thing scorer.

What was Jalen's tweet? Are we really going to hold on to everyone and all three recruits? That seemed impossible a week ago, would be quite a turn around...

Something about how he was excited to get to play for a HOF coach.

wow - hard to believe that they aren't so upset the search went a week longer then normal that they wouldn't just bolt and give up their chane to play for a HOF coach - in perfect facilities, in the big east, in dallas texas. what a surprise. (sarcasm off)

Give it a minute, the '11 & '12 kids haven't even talked w/LB yet. There will be attrition, if only b/c Larry likes a few transfers, just sayin

We might want to wait until we see who Larry Brown decides to keep on the roster before we predict a starting lineup IMO.

Seriously though. Where are the gloom and doomer retractions? As gostangs says above, wasn't the world ending for us just a few days back? We were going to lose all our incoming talent and be at ground zero talent wise. What changed?

Now we're talking about LB making the decision to run people off and bring in better fits, not having them leave when we wanted them to stay.

What are you talking about? We still have 3 kids up in the air, that Brown hasn't talked to...Nobody is doom n gloom about Brown as he's a legend, but we need to see the HCIW before declaring this some sort of success. Beyond that, who stays and goes is very fluid. None of that has even started up, much less been put to bed. We were always going to run a few off, and probably have a few we want leave. Fluid
