If we RS anyone it will be at the SG position where we are loaded.
Well its already been pretty widely speculated that Eastman will be a likely candidate.
Great kid and I will be absolutely thrilled about having him around that extra year.
Yeah, but I'm gathering you're not counting A-Dub?He IS a starter.
But he didn't start the game Sunday, which I think is what the reference was towards. We have no starters yet, really.
Granted, he's a freshman, but JP seemed to "disappear" just as AT would last year for the few minutes he played. AT seemed to have a little more fire in him.Also, what is the deal with Prosser? He's every bit as good as Sticks.
I figure he was resting some of the players. Clearly he didn't want any to hit 25+ minutes (look at the boxscore, there's probably 5 or 6 guys with 23 or 24 minutes. No one with more. We weren't concerned with "winning" or running up the score... so why keep TB in?Finally, is Taylor in the doghouse again? He didn't play the last 10 or so minutes and I just couldn't figure out why.
By far the two that distinguished themselves from everyone else were Andrew and Taylor. They should be stone cold lead pipe LOCKS as starters on Friday.
AGREED! Love love love that those two will be solid. Glad TB had Theron last year to learn from, because he's definitely picked up on some things!

The only thing I will say about this is that its really hard to stay focused and not "disappear" as you so put it when your main two PG's don't ever get the ball into the post.
Those two could learn a LOT from DSE.

How can JP 'disappear' when he only plays 3 minutes? Seriously, some people are worrying WAY too much about this. JP is behind two 3rd year sophomores and a 6th year senior as far as post players go. There is NOTHING to be concerned about at this point with him or his development.

I disagree. They're doing what they're told, and are both better than DSE at just about everything at this point. Not throwing the ball inside has been a staple of the Les regime and likely will continue to be whether DSE is playing or not.

And makes for a complete waste of Will's talent.
We didn't have a capable inside presence last year, but now that we have it, don't you think we should use it to our advantage?

I definitely do, I just don't think DSE is some transcendent point guard who knows how to do that more than the other two. I said in another post that I want us to go inside more to WE and even AT. A LOT more!

I can't really agree w/ you though because I fully believe DSE could be a POY by his Junior year here...just needs to be put in the right situations.
He is by far more talented than either the other guards were when they first came in to Bradley and had better numbers than Ruff did in high school and when he first came in.
I have very high expectations for the kid, and I'm sure he has some for himself, thus why he was recruited by BCS schools.

Wow...that's pretty lofty expectations. I think if he's a starter by the time he's a junior that would be an accomplishment, he's got some pretty good players that are in front of him.
McCain would be a senior, but would not every other guard be gone?Wow...that's pretty lofty expectations. I think if he's a starter by the time he's a junior that would be an accomplishment, he's got some pretty good players that are in front of him.

He's got Sam and AW in front of him this year and next. McCain is there as well. So 'by the time he's a junior' to me means he cracks the starting lineup next year when he's a sophomore. With McCain, Sam, and AW all intact through next season, I don't see that happening.

I hate to burst your bubble but take a look at what someone has indicated JL said on the WMBD radio broadcast about the post position. I'm hoping the statement was taken out of context or JL does some backpedaling from that position. We need a solid post presence to open things up for everyone else.

My bubble isn't burst. The proof is in the pudding. It would be a change if we started going inside, and it's a change I am not expecting.

But like I said, NOW we have the players to do it that we haven't had since 06.
Why not move it in and out?

I am agreeing with you, there's no reason no to. But unfortunately I am not the coach.
