Who will start for the Shockers against Memphis?

[wufan]

19 ppg and 10 rbg at one of the virginia academies. i'd say that guy is seriously underrated. the staff outdid themselves at this years recruiting class/newcomers.

just a hunch, but wamukota will be the fifth starter.

I picked Bush Wam as well. I would think that the defensive length at the start of the game would set a nice tone.

Have any of you ever actually seen the new guys in a scrimmage?

yes

You can take this question one of two ways--who will start or who will play the most minutes alongside Carter. It is easy to imagine B-Wam filling Orukpe's role where he starts and plays about 10 minutes a game leaving someone else starter's minutes. Also post by committee 2013-14 seems quite likely.

Who plays the most minutes will be solely based on matchups. We have a front line to go small, medium, large, or jumbo based on matchups. I expect Bush to get a lot of minutes against Evansville, not so many against Southern Illinois.

Bush is pretty thin...hopefully he will bulk up but man is he tall.

The freshman from Sunrise is going to see the court, a lot.

Probably noted elsewhere, and obviously not a big deal, but Sky Williams is no longer with the team and they'll be adding one more walk on at some point.

Marshall looks at winning the tip as an extra possession. My money's on Bush.

Which freshman from Sunrise do you speak of?

[wufan]

yes

Care to comment on your thoughts?

[shock]

Which freshman from Sunrise do you speak of?

Probably Nurger.

[pinstripers]

Probably Nurger.

that's the way I read it

I'm also on the Bush train. Early on, Darius will probably get a ton of minutes rotating between the 4 and 5 until the new guys get acclimated. We have Bush/Shaq/Nurger that can eventually take minutes at the 5 and Glass/Kelly at the 4, but Carter will have to play alongside any of these guys, at least in the front half of the season.

Yeah, I didn't do a good job of qualifying that remark, sorry. Nurger is very talented, solid, and moves well. I expect him to get a fair share, if not more, of post minutes available. The kid's good.

But Zach Brown is going to play a lot as well.

Carter average 25 minutes per
That leaves 55 to be shared by possibly 5 guys
Average 11 minutes. Doubt it pan out that way
At least they would be fresh.

It would be interesting to see how a WSU all-freshman team would do against the Valley. Brown, Kelly, Nurger, Shaq, Holland and Henderson. We have all five positions covered and then some.
