In the absence of a shooter you have to be able to get to the rim. I think KJ, TC, and Morman will give us a better group to do this. Along with Shaq. But strength to fnish will be huge. HUGE offseason.

I like that lineup, but like you said they need a shooter. KJ really came on strong with his shooting so hopefully he can be a high 30% shooter. Caupain seemed to go in the other direction. He needs to work hard on getting leaner and working on his outside shot. If both of those guys can be dangerous outside threats than UC will have a chance to be good...I'm counting on Shaq making a big improvement, so far he has underachieved.

Obviously the big question mark is on the inside. Nobody knows what Deberry and Strickland will give. I wouldn't count on a JUCO and a redshirt freshman providing significant contributions. Lawrence will need to improve greatly, but if he does it will give a whole different look to the team.

We just guys that can hit around 35-40% and shoot consistently. But if you add a guy that can hit 45-50% to that mix you really have something.

I really hope after Morman had a year to sit and watch SK and the success and stories around him all year after he was asked to redshirt that he comes out with the same mentality and something to prove

NC State, Nebraska, Xavier, Middle Tennessee State, Creighton/Mississippi, North Carolina Central, San Diego State, VCU, Morehead State, Eastern Illinois I believe are the current non-conf opponents. Pretty solid especially is we can add one more big game. Youngsters will have to grow up.

UC had one guy that shot above 35% - Jermaine Sanders at 38%.

I know but I'm hoping KJ, TC can join that mix and maybe Mormon.
