Let's Talk Some Hoops

Who's ya boy this season? I'm going to go with Lamar Peters, kid is underrated just like Q was coming out of HS.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Q until further notice.

Q until someone dethrones him. Good luck with that. The guy is freakin' awesome.

Our best lineup by the end of the year might be Q and four freshmen. I think Kegler and Herard start from day one, and Wright could as well depending on if Kegler is at the 3 or the 4. I expect Ready to start over Peters at first, but that could change quickly.

My guess on the starting 5 for the opener:

Ready
Weatherspoon
Kegler
Holman
Herard

I really like Holman's potential. I think he is gonna be the next Chris Bosh type player for us. He passes as well as any big man I've saw. If he adds some strength this off season I think he will be a star. Really excited to see him and Q work together. Should really be able to play the high-low game well together the way they both pass and are unselfish.

I hope either Carter or Wright shoot their way into lots of minutes at the 2. Q may operate best as a 3.

What's the deal with Stapleton and Strugg? I remember both had injuries but can't remember what. Will we expect more from them than the freshmen?

Some notes & questions ..

Heard that all freshmen are on campus except Ado who is expected for second term. Anyone heard how Stapleton is progressing after 2nd injury?

Understand that Howland is excited about team so far .. NCAA rules let players in summer school work out with coaches for 2 hours a week. Any news 'how' the six freshmen are doing?

Biggest boost for this team should be the 10 days extra practice + game experience on the Italy trip = could not have come a 'better' time for a team with seven freshmen (6 true + 1 RS).

With Newman departure, is there any possible grad student addition on our radar? Would really help to get some rebounding/defense experience so that Ben could bring the new guys along gradually.

 

[MSUDC11]

No clue if we're targeting this guy or not, but there's a 6-7 small forward from Nebraska that averaged almost 17 points and 6 rebounds a game last year that is looking to grad transfer. Andrew White is his name.

Um.... Go get him, Ben.

 

[Digging dog]

Want to see what Lamar Peters is all about.
Q should be fun to watch after the so called freshmen jitters/ mistakes.

I got my eye on the real 'Eli'
