Six Juco Transfers to Watch

With all due respect...WHY?

We lost two 1,000 point scorers and our best low post defender. Not many people on here, if anyone, have seen our new guys play. None of us have seen them play against DI competition, with the exception of Dodie Dunson as a freshman at Iowa St. I think it's awfully presumptuous to assume that we're better than last year at this point.

If AW plays the 2 then yes we are better if not we are deeper with more potential as long as we play an in your face smothering D. I believe AW can make up most of JC's O and we should be a better defensive team. I would suspect that CR will play the 3 and we'll slide TW to the 4 more times then not. DD 'm sure will also play the 1-2 spot AW the 2-3 spot. We have more flexibility obviously and more fouls to give without to much of a drop off with the ability to own the last 8 minutes of the game.

I don't know who will start at PG, but I think SM is the most likely. I am not sure JL knows, yet.

We lost a bunch of games last year because of the lack of depth, especially at PG. I don't see that happening to Bradley this year. So despite losing the top 2 scorers, I think Bradley will be better this year.

Do you think DD is going to come off the bench? I think he may start at PG this year and SM will play off the ball at the other guard spot.

I'd say the reverse is more likely. The things Sam gives us are the intangibles. He has great vision and doesn't rush things. Dodie is athletic and quick, and from what I here can get to the hoop, which is good, but those things are just as valuable in the 2 guard slot, though I have heard his shot is lacking. I honestly think he could bring the ball down court occasionally, but won't the offense won't run through, probably similar to the DRuff - WF scenario 2 years back, which I loved. In some ways better as Sam and Dodie run the offense much differently which will keep the D on their toes. Now, if Dodie can become as clutch as will... Though we've always got SM for those shots.

To be completely honest, the thing that peaked my interest the most in that article was the comment about how good of a rebounder Roberts is off the wing.
