Rucker's early look at BasketVols

[Lefteye]

Just like last year, I'm not expecting much and will appreciate each W. I support my guys through it all. GBO

End of thread. Imo

 

[iKrager]

We will surprise some people this year.. We will. Our guys are winners. We will find a way to win.

I want to see fire from Hubbs this year. I want this to be his team. Take it from Moore and we'll go far. I want to see Moore and Jabri's scrappiness rub off on him. I want to see him finish a game like he did vs Vandy. That's the Hubbs we need fellas.

NOT THE HUBBS WE NEED, BUT THE HUBBS WE DESERVE

So, for the sake of argument, let's say we land Dixson and nobody else leaves.

PG: Lamonte Turner/ Shembari Phillips
SG: Kevin Punter/ Detrick Mostella/Devon Baulkman
SF: Arrmani Moore/ Robert Hubbs/Dikembe Dixson/ Admiral Schofield
F: Jabari McGhee/ Derek Reese
C: Ray Kasongo/ Kyle Alexander

I could see us going smaller and starting Armani at the 4 and Hubbs at the 3, if we can play that lineup we probably are a better team, just not sure how well Armani can handle the 4 in Barnes system.


Class breakdown:

SR: Armani Moore, Kevin Punter, Devon Baulkman and Derek Reese
JR: Robert Hubbs
SO: Detrick Mostella, Ray Kasongo
FR: Jabari Mcghee, Lamonte Turner, Kyle Alexander, Dikembe Dixson, Shembari Phillips, Admiral Schofield


Next years remaining players:

PG: Turner/Phillips
SG: Mostella
SF: Hubbs/Schofield/Dixson
F: McGhee
C: Kasongo/Alexander

With room for at least 4 in next years class, a PG (Jordan Bone) would be nice to Phillips can slide to the 2, his more natural position. Another talented wing scorer to add to the mix, possibly a Eli Wright or Quenitn Goodin. And once again some size down low is needed, Blackwell or Isaac to play the 3/4 would be nice, and a guy like Tony Bradley down low, another 6'9"-6'10"+ guy is needed IMO.

Please get goodin. The kid is an phenomenal point guard.

Btw, that's a killer freshman class.

 

[Lefteye]

I believe Bonds will see more minutes than Shembari at the 1 next yr.

 

[AmoebaVol]

It seems amazing to me that Hubbs will only be a junior this year. Seems like he's going on Year 5 already. Maybe he will step up and become the player we all think he can be. I think his performance is the key to our success this year.

Highly doubtful unless Phillips gets injured imo
