#129 and #220 in the same backcourt?....Umm...Yeah, I'll take it!!!

Who was 129?

[Da Coach]

Eddren McCain was #129.

In the latest rankings after McCain led his team to the state title
McCain is now #97 ranked

Not sure why the staff would want two frosh p/g's to come in with the same class, unless one is going to r/s.

Hmmm...does anyone remember what our record was when our starting PG was out?
Can it hurt to have depth at this position?

Someone ought to tell hoopscoop that..they still have him at 129......

Their new premium report eliminates the 5th year prep seniors (and lists them separately), so Eddren moves up

well said T,

ok...then what does are starting lineup look like?

i would LOOOVE to have depth in the PG position, but I also want to have a well rounded team...

I think Will Franklin and Tony Bennett showed that you can have success playing the 2 guard at only around 6 feet tall, so we can rotate players between the two spots with all our point guards.

You have to have size to go along with your point guards if they are about 6 feet

I still think that Coach Les would fill a roster with PGs if he could get away with it. Everything else being equal (talent, game knowledge, etc.) Coach Les would choose to play a guard over a big. You may not like it (and I am may be the only one who thinks this) but that is my opinion.
