That is basically a 6 man rotation with spot breather minutes for the bigs. If we get in foul trouble...then things change a little. We can't bring in 3 bench players at a time. |

who are the 4 guards that can rebound? jarron is ok at best, keith is ok. the rest are terrible. tre's numbers are incredible because there isn't another player on the roster that can defensive rebound. basically he gets it or nobody does. and thats with or without Vogt. its really embarrassing. |

I also watched MAW and Jarron in a very short time frame not grab a ball with two hands and tried to coral the ball with one hand on the dribble. Each play the defender just went and got it and went on a fast break. Both could have been avoided by simply grabbing the damn ball with both hands first. That's more of a fundamental thing but you can't get cute with a ball on the loose and defenders nearby. |

i only referenced rebounding because thats what brannen specifically references when he said he'd bench guys if he could. when mika went into the backcourt to get that one loose ball and UCF won the battle and got a dunk/layup out of it. keith was the closest guy besides the 2 that went after the loose ball. and he just stood and watched as UCF ran down the court. if keith even jogs back, we get that loose ball. that stuff just can't happen when you're fighting for your tournament life. there is no tomorrow. |

To play his style we need to be at least 8 deep if not 9. We need a solid transfer big as well. A guy who can rebound and defend. I am not sure we will be 8 or 9 deep with quality next year. But I hope to see it start to develop for the following season. Brannen will have to put something good together by the time his current frosh are seniors. That is my leash for him unless it becomes apparent it's spiraling out of control which I do not expect. I keep forgetting about Prince. I hope he can play and act as a short PF. He was billed as a rebounder with ability to score around the rim on either side. If he can hit a 3 he can add some depth. |

the defense has gone from looking awful to getting a lot of stops in multiple games this season. without changing anything. effort went up and defense got much better. just "switching something" does not guarantee a better outcome. there seems to be the assumption that it does. we gave up 13 points the last 10 minutes of regulation. its not likely any other defense gives up less points than that, and we likely don't even get to OT by switching things up. |
