Yeah, I look at the Gill-Gueye exchange as a wash, so we're basically hoping Teague will replace Calhoun and Wells.
If nothing else that's five fewer fouls that we'll probably need at some point.
Of course, I would love to be totally surprised by Teague and Gueye.
If they red-shirt Mallers and Hollywood, that means they go into the season with nine scholarship players. You'd better be damn good or some folks will begin to question your recruiting. Not the Kid, of course, but some folks.

Basically we lost Calhoun, Wells and Gill while adding Teague and Gueye. That's trading down, unless Teague is a lot more impressive than most of us think he'll be in his first year of college action. We also add a year to Moses and that is good. Teague did have a year, will not exactly be a first year player. More talented and different than Bo, who we will miss, he does add some things Bo lacked. He's longer, quicker, and can jump, block shots. Not the shooter but can get to the boards on offense and also more dangerous getting the ball cutting to the basket. The year may also add a little more muscle for Sellers and Weber. I expect Weber will have to do more rebounding and defending inside than last year. And, although Persons is not a front line player he is physical, can block out and rebound. I was surprised when I first saw practice last year how physical we were. Was much less worried. Some of that is the effort coach gets from players. Our worries about that same thing this year may be similar. Have to wait and see. Wells for Gueye is a wild card now. He's reportedly more physical, stronger, more athlete, but Wells was taller and played hard. We know nothing much about Gueye, some inference he was an under achieving player. Maybe he finds himself? |

Halftime really is way off track. While I would agree that Tyler is not a PG he may be this year's leading scorer and clearly the best athlete!
He will start and be a huge contributor!

Crawford said in an article today to expect Mallers and Hollywood to redshirt Must mean Teague is ready to go, expected to replace Bo. I'd like one of those guys ready to play. I guess we might use Weber more with Sellers at the same time. Another year of smaller ball unless DouDou can play. played with him in the rec the other day and he's definitely put on some weight |

Rusty, you are so correct! If I read Halftime's post correctly he believes we have no D 1 talent at the guard position. First, Tyler is obviously not a PG but my guess is he will start at the # 2...he is a scorer and the most athletic on the team. I believe Persons will start at the point with Kipaway getting minutes at both the # 1 & 2. While Sellers will play the # 3 he may also see minutes at the # 2 as well. This team is certainly the deepest at the Forward spot we've been in years and may be the deepest of any team in the MAC at this position. Weber, House, Sellers, Teague, Mallers, and Hollywood. House was 2nd team All MAC. With Moses having a year under his belt we will be solid at every position. While I understand that Moses may not be the bruiser many would like, but he is very solid..he can score and rebound. He passes very well as a post player. In the post season, I believe Moses averaged 13+ points and 5-6 reb per game which suggests he was coming on strong at the end of his Freshman year! This year's edition of the Cards is positioned well for post season. I am not going to respond because obviously you can't read. |

Halftime u said Tyler doesn't score and does not handle the PG position well. We agree that he doesn't handle the PG position well but he does score!!
And maybe it doesn't matter if he suspended

You'd better be damn good or some folks will begin to question your recruiting. Not the Kid, of course, but some folks. Since Gill did not play, and was maybe an emergency option if we had needed him, I'd compare him to the guys we may red shirt in impact. They are still available for that if necessary. The comparison is Gueye vs Wells, Teague vs Bo. Persons is a pure plus, an addition. The most important factor is how much returning players improved. Don't see Franko improving much, he is pretty good as he is and a senior who showed leadership last year! Weber has to grow and play a little more defense, and can do that. Everyone else has a decent chance to improve at least a little. When it comes to team intangibles, Persons adds more fire than anyone we had last year. We really should be improved. |
