Conner Frankamp throwing it DOWN

[Aargh]

Then the lineup and depth would go something like this

Center - 6'11" guy and 6'7", wide-body Wall of Shaq backup
PF - 6'7" 5th year Sr trfr and 6'8" guy who can hit from 3 and put it on the floor
Wing - Wessel and Brown
Then there are the 2 AA' and Frankamp

That's a pretty good 9-deep rotation - and it doesn't even mention any of the Fr, who may be Marshall's best recruiting class ever.

It's scary.

Too hilarious. His hairline is jacked for such a young dude.

Lot's of 3 point threats. Fantastic. Now, make sure when we shoot those threes we have people inside to rebound. That's what will make us truly dangerous.

This is 3G's team. If you don't rebound, you don't play.

[Dave Stalwart]

If Connor is in we may not need any rebounders very often

At either end.

Zing!

It'll be just like Creighton basketball all over again!

In 2011-2012 we were +6.4 in rebounds. 2012-2013 +7.9 and 2013-2014 +7.5. Last year we were +4.9. I love our 3 point game. Just saying, back up the 3's with strong rebounding.

Oh, and while we're at it. I hope our bigs not only rebound on the offensive end but are able to take them back up and finish. Something we weren't very good at last year.

That drop off from 14 to 15 seasons I think shows how much of a silent force Chadrack and Kadeem were on the glass, and how much we missed having a fairly deep rotation at the post. That three headed monster of Chadrack, Kadeem & Darius was really effective. I'm hoping for more of the same from this year's post rotation, maybe even deeper than that year.

Conner has about 10'weeks to learn to defend like what's left of his hair is on fire! If that happens? April is going to be one hell of a month!

I have heard he is trying but he isn't consistent and he also needs to get thicker, and stronger.

This is how I see the rotation + Shamet. Markis is probably too thin for the "rotation" on this team. Taylor might see some time at the beginning of the year. Hamilton...he good too!

Im not quite sure why everyone keeps saying Rauno will play the 5. Is there something I dont know? A secret forum perhaps where this talk is going on? Has coach ever specifically mentioned that he's going to the 5? Is everyone assuming that since he's so tall he should be playing the 5?
Is there anything he did last year or any of his previous years of playing basketball that says "Rauno Nurger is a center"?

AT BEST he's a "Euro 5" And thats okay. I've said it before and Ill say it again the guy is Kyle Wilson all over again. And thats a scary good thing.

Other than shooting the three, is there anything he's done to demonstrate he's a 4? I don't think he's quick enough to guard the MVC 4s.

If basketball was only allowed to be played between a set of 5 players composed of large guards and athletic forwards the NCAA might as well take the next few national championship trophies over to their nearest UPS Store and ship them to 21st and Hillside. Good googly-moogly, we're stacked at 2-4.

He was asked specifically about Kelly and Grady. He tried to get others mixed in with his answer on his own.

Yes. Coach was asked about Fred, Ron, Anton, Rashard, Conner, and Markis. Landry was the only one he wasn't asked about that he spoke of. Evan, Ty, and Eric were mentioned in passing.
