We all know how good of a shooter Preston is. And, I've seen some great video of how good of a shooter Drew Barham is. What about Malik Thomas and James Harvey's games? Anyone know anything about their skill levels?

We are down to 9 scholarships players (and that assumes health/eligibility/wavers all working out) and that leaves no real depth. While 7 or these players will be rotation contributors, it is a bit unfair to ask Niles-Henderson or Ngaloro to contribute more than a hard 15 minutes of sweat and guts.
So we've got 7 men in our rotation:
C: Coleman
PF: Garcia
SF: Spoon
SG: Sallie / Mack
PG: EWilliams / Kemp
So we'll need some contributions from PHN and Ngolaro, and DWolken is hinting Simpkins might be returning. But the walk-ons will play a few minutes at times (injuries, grades, match-ups).
So.... what have these guys got? I have high hopes for the player that earned a schollie from Southern Illinois. If a school like SIU offered him, he might not be a star, but he could be hardnosed support...

Awesome. I thought I was the only old fart that knew the lingo.
You didn't just call me an old fart did you?

If you knew anything about the team, it's players, or others involved with the program, you wouldn't make such an asinine statement. Even if you didn't (and it's obvious you don't), we don't post such disparaging remarks about our Tigers on this board. Take it somewhere else.
