2018-2019 Shox Offseason Predictions and Discussions

[BostonWu]

That's a lot of respect for the program. Strictly from a gambling perspective it's not great value.

[DUShock]

40:1 is a deep out of the money debit call. It’s one of the better “Lottery Tickets”. Not to wish time away but I’m already stoked for the start of the season.

Go Shocks!

[Shockm]

A lot of respect is correct. That puts us ranked in the Top 17 (40:1) with our closest AAC opponent being Cincinnati at 80:1. That puts Cincy in the Top 32.

[ShockerPrez]

My expectation, like most, is that we have our struggles, but flashes of 'WOW'.

I want to believe that we will remain on the bubble all year, however continue to imorove and catch some fire late and win the AAC tourney. Either because we are just gelling, or the bracket opens up in our favor and we take advantage.

[forevershockerfan]

21 wins and I hope our Shocker 8th Dance in a row. If. if, if our talented but very inexperience Squad really comes together by AAC time, especially by winning the AAC Tourney, watch out. The very Coach at the helm we need to lead such winning is Coach Marshall, and he will rise up in solid fashion to get the most possible from our beloved Shocks.

Top 3 AAC finish and right in the mix for an at large

Lineup of Torress Stevenson McDuffie Brown Miitgard

choida I was thinking Torres, Stevenson, Bofa, McDuffie and Udeze.

[Shockm]

Bofa?

[ShockerPrez]

I do believe Marshall will be out to prove he belongs in the company of elite coaches.

Lineup of Torress Stevenson McDuffie Brown Miitgard

This would be a good guess to begin the year.

This would be a good guess to begin the year.

Let's hope such a lineup doesn't need to last very long. McDuffie needs to be at the 4.

And there I thought you were meaning "Best of Freshmen Athletes". Lol

[Singeril]

I do believe Marshall will be out to prove he belongs in the company of elite coaches.

He’s already done that and is, I believe, respected as one of the elite.

[WuDrWu]

Wow.

[asiseeit]

Not having seen so many players live my gut tells me this. Center - AM, Udeze, JE and Chandler.
Power forward - MM, Brown and a little Chandler
Small forward - DD, Burton, Moore and maybe RB
Shooting guard - ES, Moore, Tusse if he does not RS
PG - I have a hunch Jones starts over Torres and maybe a little Tusse
I've probably left out someone. 18 wins would be a decent season but I think we could hit 20 and be a bubble team

[choida]

Torres is my initial bet to start... But Jones has upper hand with being in the system and program... Could be a great battle

[60Shock]

And I truly hope it is a battle based on excellent performance by both players.
