I think the consensus among fans on this board is that the starters will be Williams, Solo, Alex, Courtney, and Derrick.

I think it might be safe to bet that we are wrong somewhere. Not really sure where. I've heard Chucky has been looking very good. Kibi reportedly has been the best rebounder in practice and scrimmages and that is an area we really need to improve. If Kibi is as good, or better, than Courtney that is saying a lot. Not sure how I would feel if Chucky started at the point. It would likely mean that he is one heck of a freshman. However, it would also suggest that the junior point guard, we were counting on to step in, is likely not as good as we hoped. Regardless, I hope to see a lot of Chucky, Kibi, and Marlo on Friday. I expect Matt to be in the rotation as well. Not sure how the other guys fit in right now. I guess no one, outside the team and coaches, really knows at this point.

Since we have been kept entirely in the dark, I have absolutely no idea how the rotation is looking at this point. Most years I have been able to witness some practices and make some type of determination, but with everything behind closed doors, there is just no way of figuring anything out. If Chucky is the starter, it doesn't mean D'Andre isn't as good as we thought. It means Chucky is better than we thought. I think both will play a lot.

I guess it can be interpreted that way. Just seems like, unless Chucky is a real star, a player with 2 years of junior college experience should be a little ahead of him at this point in time.

Chucky is from Ft Worth and they are playing in Dallas. Bet he will be pumped for the game with a lot of his fans and family in attendance.
