I love the idea of having 13 players...the competition for playing time from the bench is going to make us better. Even if we red shirt one big we will have more depth than we ever had there. The last couple of seasons we have been working with 10 players so every player was almost guaranteed to find some quality minutes whether they "deserved" it or not. Especially with our weaker SOS in the past...there were plenty of patsies to work them in. Foul trouble was another way to get in.

Fast forward to this year. SOS will be better. Our least effective players will not NEED to play in the bigger games. Only the most deserving will get in.

So we should have a better starting lineup and the quality of bench depth should also be better. It's a nice situation to be in. I don't necessarily like the idea of having players who can't get on the court in big games...but that's just the way it works. Work your ass off and get better.

The cream will rise to the top!
