Reese is showing a lot of improvement and a great attitude. All 3 will see significant playing time. Plus we get Godwin back.The juco point guard is exciting. Oliver was a 4star recruit coming out of high school for a reason. He can shoot.Look for Green to have a green light( shoot the ball ). Dickens has improved and is shooting the ball well. The big Greek can play. He has a lot of international experience and will play this year. Somebody compared him to Vasser (wrong ). For the first time since Jones has been our coach he can field a team with every position having someone who can score. I haven't forgotten Carver. He can't score but he does contribute. However I don't see him getting as many minutes this year as he has in the past I haven't heard anymore about another big man so what we have is probably it. What we have is enough. We will be fine this year. Will we be better than last year...yes...I think we will..also look for us to play a little more up tempo!

Great report but who is our starting PG?

Our starting point guard will be Malik Curry. JUCO all American. He’s a stud. Excited about him. I completely agree about the team. I think this team has great potential. Last years team had great heart and desire but was short on talent and experience throughout the roster. Won’t be the case this year. This team is deeper and more talented and can shoot a lot better, potentially. Last years team won games on pure will. If u look at the numbers, it may have been Jones’ worst team offensively at ODU. But they had great leadership and toughness which hopefully will carry over to some of the newer and younger players this year. I think early in the season we need to catch some breaks. We need to stay healthy and we need Oliver to be eligible for the entire season.

We lost Caver and BJ Stith, our two best players under JJ aside from Freeman... and Carver is still going to be on the court at least half the game. You are dreaming if you think what is left will be a better offensive team. You are dreaming if you think Curry is going to come in and be as productive as Caver in this system. Xavier better be ready to average 25. We will do well just to win 20 games and probably wouldn't if we were in a decent conference.

Count me in on believing we will be a better offensive team. We were 238th in offensive efficiency last year. That was probably the worst offensive team since Jones first year.

Caver and Stith were both great players and will be hard to replace. But, this team will be more well rounded and not solely dependant on those 2 for offense.

Curry does not have to come in and be as productive as Caver. Green does not have to average 25 points per game.

I expect Ezikpe to be a double digit scorer next year. He averaged 4 points per game last year. I expect Green to be a double digit scorer, he did not average double digits last year. Outside of that, the offense will be more well rounded with Curry, Reece, Dickens, Godwin, and Wade. None of them will be relied upon to score 15 per game, but they collectively will do a lot better than the supporting cast did last year.
