I suspect the lineup will be fluid all year. It may change often with Cumberland and perhaps Scott being the constants.

There is a ceiling on that type of system though. I can see why he would do it this year just to make sure we can get to the tournament. But last year was a nice opportunity to play the most talented players let them learn, keep teaching them. So they were ready for March.

Except of course it didn’t get us almost any of those things. It got us one of the worst losses in the tournament and going home the first weekend.

Look not looking to rehash that loss. That chatter is why I quit posting for awhile on here. Let's move forward. We have little choice in that matter. Cronin is our coach and probably will be for as long as he wants the job. This will be a very difficult year. Losing Evans,Clark and Washington will not be easy. We have a challenging OCS with X,UCLA and the Buckeyes on it. His coaching abilities will most certainly be tested. Teams in our conference such as Houston and Memphis are improving as well. Making the Dance this year will not be easy. The trip to Canada has illustrated some talent but much improvement is needed. We still have yet to see Diarra who I think is a big wild card to the season. I'm also interested in how Logan Johnson will be used as well as Broome. Are they PG's or SG's or both. Who's game has moved forward between Williams and Moore? Lots of questions. Will be a interesting season to say the least. Last edited by WAITE HOYT 2; 08-13-2018 at 04:06 AM. |

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this year's team shakes out. I'm hopeful for big steps by at least 3 of the following Broome, Scott, Williams, Moore, Ellie. Otherwise it's going to be a very average year at best. And I really want to win that first home game! |

While it is nice to read that some of the kids took steps forward I am very concerned about this years team. We lost three very good players. All three had skills. Evans was a 1st round talent who could guard and score, Clark was as complete a player as we have had with the program in years as well as being a total team player. Washington was a scoring post player with 3 point range. Who was our last post with those skills? They will be missed offensively but defensively as well. Evans and Clark erased so many misteps defensively and did so without getting into much foul trouble. They rebounded and stayed on the court. I see no one on the current roster ready to replace those three. Im not trying to disrespect the current group but those are huge shoes to fill.

He also has had a history of weird substitution patterns, like taking out gary and kyle at the same time last year, sitting kyle after scoring 8 pts in a row etc..

Cronin said this same thing last year and there were 2 lineups, same one for every game except 2. Dont think we will see much deviation unless injury, discipline etc.. More than likely will see the guys pulled after the first dead ball like KJ, Kyle have been in the past 2 years.
