    Who is the starting 5 now? and who comes off the bench first?

  • #2
    Ruff, JC, JJ, Zach and Sally. I really hope JJ has a Jerome Robinson!
    Can we start winning soon?

      Ruffin
      JJ
      JC
      Salley
      Andrews

      Some say Franklin in JC's spot, but I truly believe we need his punch off the bench. He may not start, but he certainly will be finishing games.

      Undersized, undermanned teams has always been where Chuck Buescher has shined in the past, and I think will be where he really shows his value to the staff this year. He would get 20 wins out of teams that had no one over 6'2" on pure heart, fire, and desire. I look forward to seeing what the staff can do with this group. They certainly have their work cut out for them.
      Onward and Upward!

        I may be WAY off here, but I see Will Franklin as a starter and a finisher.

        My projected starting 5:

        1 - Ruff
        2 - WF
        3 - JJ
        4 - Salley
        5 - Zach

        Those out there that see Crouch getting a starting spot, I think he would be fighting for the 3 position and right now I don't see JJ losing that spot.

          So is the assumption of this thread that RB WOULD have started?

            I THOUGHT RAY WOULD END UP STARTING BY MID-LATE SEASON BASED ON WHAT I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER PLAYERS TELLING ME ABOUT RAYS ABILITY AND HOW HE PROFORMS IN PRACTICES AND HOW HE HAS IMPROVED... THIS MIGHT KILL US MORE THAN U THINK

              I agree with you.

              Now... how does RB fit in the picture the following season with DW and JF coming in and Ruffin having one more year?

              Awww, never mind. We'll get there and cross that bridge when we come to it.

              I am disappointed - was looking forward to seeing RB have a good year.

                So does it stand to reason that Jeremy Crouch will possibly benefit the most from this bad news? I'm hoping something along the way allows him to regain a little confidence.

                  I think he and Andrew Warren will pick up most of the minutes we suspected RB to get.

                      I think JC will be one of the first off the bench for the guard positions.

                      If Zach or Salley picks up a couple quick ones before the 1st media T/O, then Jassey or XC is gonna get the first call.

                        The problem with that though is a lack of scoring. That's why I think JC will start at the 2 and Will will be the first off the bench.

                          Here we go again.

                          I know nobody thinks JJ can score until he proves he can.

                          Well, I don't think JC can score until he proves he can shoot better than the 24% from the 3 like he did last year.

                            You're right but the difference is, we've seen Jermey score, whereas with JJ, outside of one game against Mizz St his freshman year, he hasn't.

                              Yea...

                              JC has proven he can score.

                              Just like Zach Duke proved last year he was a stud of a pitcher for the Pirates. 8-2 last year with a 1.81 ERA - this year he is 7-9 with a 5.26 ERA.

                              JC didn't have just a bad Sophomore year. He started to slip midway through his Freshman year.

                              Stats for his first meeting against MVC teams:
                              28 minutes a game
                              9.89 points a game

                              Stats for the second meeting against MVC teams:
                              24.33 minutes a game
                              5.11 points a game (including the 13 he dropped on Wichita)

                              My point is... the scouting report is out on his shot. He needs to adapt, and since he has had to adapt and change his shot.. he has been shooting 24% from 3.

                              So UNTIL he adapts and gets his 'new' shot to begin dropping, I don't think he can score (especially like he did in the beginning).

                              Let's just leave JJ outta the discussion for now... I just have a hunch on him.

                              I have a pretty strong feeling about Wil Franklin.

                              -and-

                              We have no idea what Salley is gonna bring to the table.
