Put best 5 players out there, don't be too hung up on 1,2,3,4,5. Do need some competent ball handling, and defenders who can play on the ball. We haven't done well on either at times. That's where competition might help. Define "best" if no one has a relegated position. Little things. Defense, shooting, ball handling. rebounding. Sure you can't play 5 small guards, but you don't need to match up down the line either. Play the way your best players fit best. Make the opponent match up.

I’m going to alter my depth chart as follows:
PG Bum, Jacob, Seokas 2 Cochran, Windham, Sellers 3 Pearson, Acree, Jones 4. Thomas, Jihad 5. Sparks, Huggins, Hendriks
Say what you like but this first 5 have the ability to score the ball

And since basketball practice doesn’t officially start for a few more weeks I’d take any reports from “practice” right now with a gain of salt.

Yes Cardfan you’re right but I was speaking of the unofficial playing.
If you look at my first 5 I can see 55-60 points per game production not counting our bench!
I’m uncertain how they will play together with so many new faces

Everyone except Sparks has played in good competition. It is a question mark how fast he can get up to speed and how he can defend, even if he is good shape and has potential. I would be surprised if he plays more than 10 minutes a game on average. Huggy is limited offensively, so maybe the same. Going small will likely be necessary for scoring. I was surprised a bit how that wasn't quite the big problem on D it could have been last year.
You are on the right track we have to score, and I'll worry about shooting on that count. Without a good big man inside, it would seem ill advised to count on defense first, so our defense will depend on athleticism more than size. Unless Huggy is a lot better, maybe.

I think Sparks may surprise! He is a big body and I understand he’s been working hard! Remember, he played AAU where he played against better competition than HS.

Rob, you can buy a few key games from me! I’ll still purchase mine even though I’m 2000 miles away I'm not sure if that's dedication or a cry for help. Yes

I'd watch BSU Basketball even if we were the worst team in the nation. That being said both my wife and son asked me to not buy season tickets today. Both agreed that there was no player they wanted to watch and that we were going to suck. This might be a watch espn+ season for us Listen to them. They are smart. No program that extends a guy like Whitford deserves season ticket renewals.

Well, I personally think Sparks is a very good recruit for a Mid Major; he is a big body with upside which many have called for including me.

Practice has started; anyone had access? Jacob could push Bum to start at PG. Look for the Freshman Sparks to be a beast in the middle. Could Windham have matured? Heard Thomas put on 8-10 pounds of muscle share.icloud.com/photos/0HihYw6rlJE6pmXtfHUT-HVmA

Saw a picture of sparks dunking on blake We've all dunked on Blake. It's not a big deal...... Seriously, it's just practice but that picture was impressive. We hear the same stuff every year about so and so looking good, so and so put on muscle, so and so has matured, so and so is gonna be a surprise, and that has equalled exactly ZERO championships or NCAA or even NIT berths in all that time. In fact it's only equalled a couple of MAC tourney wins. So, I tend to not get too excited about preseason proclamations and predictions anymore.

I am going to make one comment here; it’s not to be in defense of Whit because like all of you I’m about winning to but fact is Whits best team never got to play one game in Cleveland due to Covid. Who knows what would have happened but Vegas had us pegged to play in the Final.
