</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"><span style="mso-list: Ignore">1-<span style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </span></span> Bost plays 30 - 32 min per game the entire season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> He should be backed up by Barry to make room for Turner to get additional minutes at the 2…especially if Barry is not shooting well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>What will happen is Twanny backs up Dee and Barry will help bring the ball up the court as other teams press Twanny (one of our few weaknesses). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Please remind Twanny not to shoot any underhanded scoop layups.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in"></p>

</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"><span style="mso-list: Ignore">2-<span style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </span></span> Barry plays 35 min per game the entire season. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He should play closer to 25 min at the 2 and 10 min at the point backing up Dee and while doing that, and be replaced at the 2 by Turner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> Barry is serviceable at the point, easily as good as Twanny.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in"></p>

</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"><span style="mso-list: Ignore">3-<span style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </span></span> Ravern should start and should be backed up by Osby then Turner. Ravern should be put on a program this summer and should be 15 lbs heavier with the ability to play better defense, not get pushed around, etc….Osby should be able to come in and be a defensive hoss @ 6'6" 225.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> What probably will happen is that Ravern will have gained -0- weight, will not get better on defense and Phil Turner will get those minutes at 3 which is not entirely a bad deal. Osby will get lost in the shuffle here. Perhaps Benock will be an afterthought or zone buster?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"></p>

</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"><span style="mso-list: Ignore">4-<span style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </span></span> Kodi will start and early in the year and significant minutes will go to Sidney as well. That is what should happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> After we figure out that Sidney is a freshman and can't defend smaller 4's in the SEC, poor footwork, etc….please coach him on D???? he will be moved down to the 5 to back up Jarvis. Osby will then get minutes backing up Kodi. We will hope Kirby can work with Sidney to play better defense, yeah right. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Lewis is an also ran.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"></p>

</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in"><span style="mso-list: Ignore">5-<span style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </span></span> Jarvis (PLEASE gain some weight) plays 25 min per game backed up by Reik and Bailey. What actually happens is that Reik redshirts as a project, Sidney can't defend the 4 so he moves down to split time with Jarvis and we have Kodi and Osby @ the 4 floating around on the perimeter launching 3's so that opposing teams can't double and triple team Jarvis.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in"></p>

</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in">Tuner should play at the 2 but will probably play at the 3 because Ravern will not have gotten any stronger and still won't be playing defense. Sidney should play at the 4 but will probably play at the 5 because we won't be able to teach him to play defense in this short an amount of time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We need to figure out our rotation with the best players on the court together early in the season. That is always a problem for Coach Stansbury. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Worst case scenario, I still think we win lots of games. With this level of talent and depth, we should destroy most opponents.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in">Comments?</p>
