Good point. Thanks for the insight. What do you think about the tourney so far. I think that Scar is about as hot as any team in the country. And that defense is smothering.
I think so too. The fire he brought off the bench last night late in the game was off the chart. Plus CMW has done one heck of a job at Fla. Just really ticks me off thinking we were so close to hiring him.
CMW is doing a fantastic job at UF but he wouldn't have had the same success at UT. Tyndall left a huge mess with the NCAA hovering over us and it would have taken White longer to get us into the NCAA Tournament. Similar to the pace that Barnes is having with this team.
Good find!
PG: Bone/Turner
SG: Bowden/Phillips
SF: Schofield/Johnson/Pons
PF: Williams/Fulkerson/Walker
C: Kaneter/Alexander/Kent
Really a lot of flexibility with the forward positions and that's a NCAA tournament team.
I like that lineup pretty well but if Turner & Bone turn the ball over like they did this past season then Phillips will be taking over at the point again but he should be playing SG. That's his natural position.
If we also get Chris Darrington then that's another one to add to the equation or mix. He's probably not SEC competition ready though. I would think both Walker & Pons would be both college ready.
Pons certainly has the body & physique ready for college & at 6'6" should be fine too. This should make for an NCAA tourney team but NIT without a doubt. We should have players that can actually play at all positions next season.
I would love to see some big time improvement out of Alexander. I think Fulkerson will come back from injury just fine. We should really go 11 deep at least for next season. If we get a decent/good transfer or sign Darrington that would make it 12 deep. That would be hard for CRB to manage though to keep everybody happy.
It would be nice to have a deep deep bench though for a change. It's not been that way since Bruce Pearl days really. We could definitely have a pretty good team in 17-18 season. If we get say Darrington & a transfer I'm going to say we could win 18-20 games in the regular season. Finish mid-pack in SEC or slightly better around 4th-6th. GO VOLS!
It's Cal State Northridge, Tony.
