With Oweh back, what do you think the depth chart/minute distribution/etc will look like?

What part of, “JQ says he will be ready before the first game of the season!”, do some of you not understand?

I’ve said it many times before, and I’ll say it again…

Some of you aren’t happy unless you can find some drama to latch on to

Starters/backup
Lowe-Aberdeen-Chandler
Oweh-Johnson-Noah
Williams-Hawthorne-Jelavic
Dioubate-Garrison
Quaintance-Moreno-Porter

Lowe, Oweh, Williams, Dioubate, Quaintance, Aberdeen, Johnson, Garrison will be top 8 for minutes. Chandler, Hawthorne, Moreno, and Jelavic will be fighting for 9th and 10th minutes.

I also wouldn't be surprised if one of Aberdeen, Johnson, or Garrison start.

Jelavic is just such a wildcard coming from Europe. I’ve seen people say they think he could be our best player. Others think he’ll be fighting for 9th and 10th minutes. I really don’t know enough to have an opinion.

One thing I like about this team over the 2015 team is that it actually has at least two guys for every position. 2015 had no SF. Cal played two PFs at the 3 spot (Poythress and Lyles). Cal loved to play guys out of position. That team was great, but to nitpick, the 3 spot was our weakness, IMHO.

Agreed.

I'll go a step further regarding positions. It seems to me like we have at least four guys who can play each position.

PG: Lowe, Aberdeen, JJ, and emergency safety valves Chandler and Oweh.

SG: Oweh, Chandler, JJ, and Williams.

SF: Oweh, Chandler, Williams, Noah, MoD, and Hawthorne.

PF: MoD, Garrison, JQ, Williams, Jelavic.

C: Garrison, JQ, Jelavic, Potter, and Moreno.

The depth here and the versatility is insane. This team will be a nightmare for coaches to prep for.

I think most of us are just being cautious with our expectations for JQ given the severity of the injury.

If he is 100% ready by November, then that’s great, but that would defy the odds when it comes to ACL injuries.

So I think most of us are being realistic about it. Playing 20+ minutes a game less than 8 months after ACL surgery seems a little too optimistic to me.

I’m hoping we get him 100% by late December and he can be ready for SEC play.

Being ready to go and being back to your 100% game shape and having knocked off all rust and having learned to fully trust your body again are not the same thing.
