By the end of the season, Alihodzic and Purifoy come off the bench for Tosin and Watkins.

I won't be shocked if CJ Washington starts along side of Foz but I cant argue with the five you have on there to start pre-season. Just guessing but I think Tosin is more of a 2014-15 starter.

It's finally a fun discussion to have.

CJ's kind of a mystery player in this class. Ranked pretty high but his juco team had a miserable year. Could we get an updated report on CJ from Gorilla's Mom?

First game five:

Frazier
Swing
Rucker
Washington
Alihodzic

have we ever had a 6'4 pg projected to start a season?

Starters:
PG - Chad Frazier 6'4 JR
SG - Jordan Swing 6'6 SR
SF - Preston Purifoy 6'5 SR
PF - Rod Rucker 6'5 SR
C - Tosin Mehinti 6'9 FR

Bench:
PG - Dayshawn Watkins 5'10 FR
SG - Thaddeus Riddeau 6'4 JR
SF - Robert Williams 6'4 SR
PF - CJ Washington 6'7 JR
C - Fahro Alihodzic 6'10 SR

Don't see Watts(PG), Whitaker(SG), or Madison(SG/SF) getting many minutes next season unless there is an injury or departing player.

This certainly is a more enjoyable discussion than we're used to having at this time of year.

Like this, but I would switch Madison with Riddeau.

My best MB imitation, who ever Coach decide ...

I can't see Tosin starting over Foz and CJ. In time he may be one of the most talented players in the conference but not as a Freshman.

I think Madison will begin as a SF and, over time, transition to the SG position. In any event its a joy to finally have a full, deep roster. Wouldn't be surprised if we have a redshirt or two . We didn't have a freshman class this year. That would solve that problem. Really looking forward to the season!

Just realized that after next year, Whitaker will be our only Davis player on the roster.

Between five seniors (and thus the need to build experience) and the Haase system, I expect all 12 (13 if Whitaker actually recovers) to get good minutes. Both freshman PGs need to get real game time.

Frazier
Rob Williams
Swing
Rucker
Foz

We have serious depth though.

Hardly an imitation, since I started the thread.

Whitakers playing time will exactly reflect his accuracy for beyond the arc.

I'd go with:

Frazier
Swing
Purifoy
Rucker
Washington

or if we need to go big

Frazier
Swing
Rucker
Washington
Fahro/Mehinti

Feels good to finally have some good lineup options with our depth!

This

Foz will not be sitting behind a freshman.
