jreid191 All-American

Starting 5:
Hall
Demin
Saunders
Catchings
Keita

Rotation players:
Baker
Knell
Mag
Fouss

The rest of the players could get time in the case of foul trouble, injuries, or in blowouts, but the 9 above are who I expect to be part of the main rotation.

Dallin Hall / Starting Line-up

Richie is a for sure starter

Undefeated

You have to start Richie IMO

Projectoor

10/31/24 9:27am

Agree big issue not starting him last year and falling behind early NCAA game

johnnybyu

Probably a good idea to stagger Richie and Mag so I’d start Richie

10/31/24 9:28am

I'm guessing Hall over Knell, Saunders has reportedly been killing it in camp

I'll wait before agreeing Egor is the best. The data say he's not a great 3pt

I still like Richie as a super sub. He creates so much havoc

RealSimsShadY

Do you like starting game slow and having low defensive intensity? Pope learned

johnnybyu

10/31/24 12:12pm

Most games last year prove this point but Duquesne does not at all

puntersarepeople

10/31/24 12:15pm

I think Pope had a bigger body of evidence than 1 game, to know that Richie off

RealSimsShadY

Did the team outperform or underperform last year?

Yes!

I'm curious where Bosko slots in if/when he gets cleared.

tacallaway

10/31/24 9:40am

Does he rebound well enough to displace Fouss?

puntersarepeople

10/31/24 9:46am

Per 40 minutes, Bosko was 8.6 boards a game last year, Fous was 11.3

tacallaway

10/31/24 9:54am

Who played better competition?

puntersarepeople

10/31/24 10:03am

Probably Fous, but Bosko was playing with pros last year, so hard to say.

tacallaway

10/31/24 10:04am

No. But he could help team as backup to Catchings, and #3 center. If he continues to shoot 50%, he'd be major minute guy

roseyscenario

10/31/24 10:50am

Both of them will get minutes.

Plantagenet

10/31/24 2:13pm

He has a chance to crack the rotation if he gets cleared. He did join the team

jreid191

10/31/24 10:40am

He'll be a major asset in conference play because of his size and experience.

Plantagenet

10/31/24 2:14pm

Plan some minutes for Crawford.

DeepCCoug

10/31/24 11:29am

We had nothing like him last year and it showed.

Plantagenet

10/31/24 2:15pm

Boscovich will be a big contributor if he becomes eligible.

Plantagenet

10/31/24 2:12pm

Hall over Knell, potentially Fouss over Keita

ItsALoveHate

10/31/24 9:54am

I think Demin may be Knell's new best friend.

CougarBreath

10/31/24 10:19am

Demin creates a good rhythm for everyone on the offense to score. Folks know

Plantagenet

10/31/24 2:17pm

He makes everything seem easier. I agree Knell may be the biggest beneficiary

HeyU

10/31/24 3:13pm

Even if Keita starts, his tendency to foul and lousy FT% means there will be

Knell struggled after a mid-season foot injury he played through**

4thand19

10/31/24 1:33pm

Agreed. Crazy alley oop dunks aside, I think Fouss is a more complete player...

Trappist1F

10/31/24 2:12pm

Curious as to how Hall and Demin play together. You really shouldn't have Demin

QBarrister

10/31/24 10:55am

They played well together in the scrimmage, right?

Mitty

10/31/24 11:43am

I think they can play well together

Projectoor

10/31/24 11:50am

Hall can be a good two guard with his shooting and ball handling skills and then

richvan

10/31/24 12:24pm

Hall is physical but he cannot do what Demin does.

Plantagenet

10/31/24 2:19pm

I don’t see how Saunders wouldn’t start unless he gets starter mins still

Your Royal Blueness

10/31/24 1:23pm

Saunders is great off the bench.

Plantagenet

10/31/24 2:21pm

Absolutely. As long as he gets starter minutes

Your Royal Blueness

10/31/24 4:09pm

I'm guessing Hall will replace Trev in the starting lineup when he's healthy.

Trappist1F

10/31/24 1:47pm

Kevin Young doesn't think in terms of "starting line-up". He's building
