Their three losses are @Xavier by 14 (were trailing by 36 in the second half), @Colorado by 2 and neutral site versus Cal.
Their best win was a 4 point one over Notre Dame.
They are kind of similar to UC in that they aren't a very good shooting team and are really young. Caldwell-Pope is a big time freshman, other than that they are very inconsistent.
so what starting line up do you go against them?
First road game of the year, so you just go with the standard 5 of Cash, Dixon, SK, Jackson, Gates. Probably will only play Guyn and Mbodj off the bench significantly. It will be a close game as neither team can really score all that well.
when is Parker back? I know he is no savior but he does have experience...something we don't have a lot of off the bench

Mick said best case in the Xavier game.
Unless Jaquon is significantly improved, it might behoove him to do a medical redshirt. I lost faith in him last season after a decent frosh year.

UC lost role players from last year's team, while Georgia lost three of their four best players. I don't see the teams being similar at all. However, given the way the UC has played this will probably be a very close game. If they actually decided to play with some focus for a change this would be a 10+ point victory.

You need the experience coming off the bench.

I agree you need experience, but as last season went on, Parker played less and less and at times, not at all. He was very ineffective, and although it wasn't publicly acknowledged, I think he was a bit in Mick's doghouse based on an interview I read. In it, Mick talked about how all the other players put in a ton of effort to improve last offseason (before Parker's soph year), and Parker didn't put any effort in.
Right now, we should be rotating Cash, SK, and Dixon at the 2 and 3, and playing Guyn more at PG. Parker can't play PG, and there are 3 guys ahead of him at the 2 and 3 spots.

Yes, but not as much as you need the experience starting.

Heard that as well, but also heard the he learned from that and put in a ton of extra work this off-season and supposedly had shown a ton of improvement. Only time will tell.
