and the final results of the suspensions, this year is shaping up pretty well. We have a cupcake early schedule to get the new players some experience before sandwiching the name opponents after Sidney returns. By SEC play I predict that the following players start and sub:
Sidney
Augustus
Johnson
Bryant
Bost
Primary backups
Bailey serves as the primary backup for Sidney and Augustus with Lewis and Riek giving spot minutes as needed.
Smith (if healthy) backups Johnson
Benock backs up both Bost and Bryant with Bryant sliding to the point when Bost is out.
Secondary backups (to include Riek and Lewis)
Steele gives spot minutes at the 2 and 3 (depending on the health of Smith)
Beckham gives spot minutes at the 1.
We certainly have more size down low than we've had in the past, especially when Sidney and Bailey play together. Further, Bailey has got to step up as the post defender/rebounder this year.
