Well that pretty much sums up what they can do and they are both very good players. Look for Fornes to establish himself as one of the best CAA freshmen this year. He's that good. He will have plenty of competition for playing time but you just can't keep this kid off the floor. He's nice. And, my guess is that Elmore will get more and more time as we go along here. Hawks will be good provided that the bigs don't get injured. Cacok has to step up to near his ceiling which is high and that means being more of a junkyard dog near the hole. He's got to get his rebounding game going when out there and he needs to play good low post defense with his feet and body to make it hard for bigs to score against the Hawks. Big Chuck needs to step up and play his game...play hard, defend and block some shots. First and foremost, we just need Marcus to be Marcus by giving us a down low man, screening, defending the post and to develop trust in his left hand finishing. It's all about the frontcourt fellas because the guards and wings are as good as anybody in the college game right now.

At 6'4" 185 lbs, and with the ball handling and offensive skills Fornes has, it's going to be hard to keep him off the court if Flemmings plays primarily at the 4. His size and athleticism will help with rebounding and on the press, and could give us some across the board size we'll need.

Ingram, Flemmings and Bryce will start, so the question is where will they play, and who else starts.

May look like this:

PG - Ingram 6'0"
2 - Fornes 6'4"
3 - Bryce 6'5"
4- Flemmings 6'5"
5- Cacock 6'7"

Our problem is this:

Richmond, Talley and Ingram are all listed at 6'0", and Mosley is only 6'2". We just can't operate with only one 6'7" center on the floor, and also play two 6'0" guards on the floor at the same time and expect to rebound and defend.

I really hoped Elmore could step in immediately and give us more options, but it seems likely that won't happen. We could have gone like this.

Ingram 6'0
Bryce 6'5"
Flemmings 6'5"
Elmore 6'8"
Cacock 6'7"

Very good sized five on the floor that could flat out score, rebound, press and defend at all positions. Cacock would be the only player on the floor that couldn't score from anywhere.

I'm still holding out that Elmore could progress, and allow us to put this lineup on the floor as we get into CAA play or at least the CAA tournament.

Just too many guards that will all deserve PT and not enough spots on the floor. On the other hand, we could press with abandon and have fresh bodies on the floor the whole game, with little drop in talent.

What a change in such a short period of time. Picked to win the conference, preseason POY candidate, and too many good guards. Not a bad problem to have.

Marcus is going to play a whole bunch and will probably either start or play 23 plus minutes.
