I actually like Nsoseme a lot, I’d like him more if he was a better free throw shooter

Who is Ronald Allen?

Well, I hope they make a nice run this year. I am heading to Orlando for the AAC tournament. For me, I won't be satisfied without at least a visit to the sweet 16. Someone on the bench is going to need to step up to give them quality minutes. Broome needs to takeover the PG position for the bulk of the games with JJ playing very limited minutes.

It's amazing how consistently ineffective they have been. Clark and Washington both started the first year of eligibility in the program. If Mick doesn't have a magic wand and can't find another big to bring in to start next year, it will be a major recruiting failure considering our ranking and new arena. And with the lineup you list above, good luck winning 15 games.

There will be no more two big men post

There will be zero big men in the post next year with any offensive ability to score more than one or two buckets per game unless Mick lands a recruit this spring who can come in and start. There is no one on our current roster. Considering there are two SR big men leaving, tons of minutes available, and our program is winning, we need a big with an offensive skill set. Brooks is abysmal. Just shocked that we currently have players that are projects at best for those positions.

Washington sat out his first year in the program.

Unless something crazy happens, I wouldn't expect someone who has no current affiliation with our program to come in and start at the 4. We can pretend that might happen if we want to though.

I threw Washington in there because his situation was like Broome. As the roster sits now if Evans stays we go small. If Evans leaves you may see a recruit start at the 4.

Really think you hit the nail on the head. If someone on the bench was a viable option offensively other than Broome he may already have been in the line up.

Brooks will be in there to get put back’s and rebounds the other four on the court will be there to score

Calm your tits.

Going with a 1 big lineup, Brooks and Ellie will work well. We don't want the 1 big taking 3s like Clark/Washington. We want them getting offensive boards and dishing out/dunking.

It will be interesting how Tre Scott fits on this team next year.
