“Pretty much now, if Jalen and Wendell struggle for us offensively, it’s going to be hard for us to win that particular basketball game."

10 wins? achievable? Yes or No.

Ray did not rule out the possibility of freshman Gavin Ware (Starkville High) starting ahead of senior Wendell Lewis at center next season.
“I don’t want to necessarily say Wendell is the starter
and Gavin is the backup,” Ray said. “It could be flipped around. We have
to see how those guys do on the court. My hope would be that Wendell
takes on the challenge as a starting center for us and Gavin is his
backup.”</p>

I see that the '05-'06 team won 15 games, but that was with a joke of a non-conference schedule. I believe we'll be trading some of those cream puff games for a Maui Classic, Big East challenge, and one or two other decent ones. I think we'll get to 10 wins, but 12 may be pushing it.

he goes from "not just handing Wendell the starting job" to "we're gonna lose games that Wendell struggles in offensively."

Better pack a lunch, boys. The next three years are going to be ................. interesting.

takes any other shot besides a wide open dunk he will struggle offensively.

that we might see some significant strides from Wendell offensively since Ray is actually working on his offensive game with him. From his interview the other day, it sounded like Stansbury was content to let Wendell be a career garbage man, not doing a whole lot to develop him. I'm not saying any of us should hold our breath though.

Not to mention "significant strides" may not be saying a lot in his case.

ok Ray has to name the starting 5 on his first teleconference, yet Cohen makes Stratton come in in relief roles at the beginning of year

Rick just don't want Wendell thinking he has the job, he wants him to work hard ...last year wendell is not good enough anymore
