I know there will be additions and subtractions before the next season starts - but here's how it's shaping up..
Returning starters:
Auston Barnes 6-8 F
Omari Grier 6-4 G
Xzavier Taylor 6-9 C
Returning who played decent minutes:
KaDarryl Bell 6-1 G
Returning deeper subs:
Nate Wells 7-ft C - it appears our staff has little confidence in Nate
Chris Blake 6-6 F/C - ** I like Chris' effort & hustle but he has not accounted for much production
Anthony Fields 6-0 G
Jordan Swopshire 6-6 G/F I don't have a good fell...
Stefan Zecevic 6-6 G ...ditto....
Darion Harris 5-11 G (w/o)
New players:
Mike Shaw 6-8 F - should be able to grab playing time instantly but has not played the low post - likes to play away from the hoop.
Donte Thomas 6-6 F - just started his physical therapy after major knee surgery as HS senior. Look for talk of RS this fall.
Tramique Sutherland 5-11 G - could start but the last couple PG's brought in (Fields, Bell) are not starting.
BUT -- I really feel like at least 2 & maybe 3 of those on the middle list may not be here....
and as you look over the roster - we have just 3 guys over 6-6 (actually I think all four of the "6-6 guys" look to be much closer to 6-5, and none of them have shown any hint of effectiveness down low) - and one of them, Nate W. - just isn't likely to help.
so with only two "big bodies - one of whom isn't very big, isn't very productive or consistent, and doesn't log a lot of minutes - we may again be the weakest team in the paint in the entire MVC.
We need a few big bodies....
