He'll be somewhere else.....along with Jordan and Uche.

There is no way we let Ryan walk next year.

You're crazy if you don't think LB keeps Ryan around. He and JJ are the best athletes on the team, and he has the highest ceiling of the current players IMO.

So who are your 3 that won't be here? And if Frazier commits, I believe there would be another player who would be gone.

BB....the line forms to the left of BSC school that would love to have Ryan their team. Just like last year when JJ contemplated leaving.

ryan is definitely back and he will be a 2. he is too athletic to keep off the floor. if he doesnt start he will have big minutes.

i think it will pretty even between cunningham and markus - that will be an interesting battle for minutes.

we get really deep real fast. our problem will go overnight to nobody from 7 on down, to not enough minutes to go around.

i think jordan and probably bernardi may be out. i dont see at what point you put bernardi in

We don't have depth at sf. So if Frazier comes on board we would play three guards a lot.

Manuel is a very good defensive player and will get more comfortable with the mid range shot when he has a real point. He and Russell will battle it out at the two. The three frosh this year aren't coming back in order to make space would be my guess.

Manuel has had a really good year, arguably playing out of position. Manuel can play 1-3'hes by far our best perimeter defender, and his scoring efficiency is insane this year. He averages almost 13 pts a game, on 6 or 7 shots? He's long, great for the press, athletic and averages 12, 4 & 3. If he becomes a capable shooter, sky is the limit.

I think we do have depth at the 3 because I see JJ and Shawn sharing minutes in that role. Both play well inside and Shawn has shown he has 3 pt range...and both play D.

Next year's depth will allow SMU to play in your face D for a full 40 minutes

Wrong - we have 1 graduating and 3 currently committed so there will be 2 not here next year, or 3 if Frazier commits

Shawn has been one of our best players the last couple of games; he can play inside of outside offensively and plays good D. He may be a 20 minute guy next year...more if he is hot

Agreed, though I'd rather see his minutes between 15, w 20 on the high end. All depends on what some of thes other kids bring to the table, we know Shawnee by now

The thing that strikes me about next year that will help the most is getting Moore on the floor. I have only see him in the one practice, but he is a natural leader with sure handling. Just think about all the close games we lost due to turnovers in the last 5 minutes of the game. My opinion is that having Moore handling the ball in crunch time will be an immense help.

My high point will be a real physical bounder like Markus patrolling the paint..
