Future

[choida]

I'll be disappointed if TT isn't here for at least one more year. High ceiling. A lot of people are really down on him after a few games thrown into the fire as a freshman -- during tough ooc games, no less. Let's not close the book on TT just yet...

I have hinted at it and I will go out on a limb and say it. If PA can play some D he will start
at SF next year.

PG - CF, LS, DS
SG - LS, PA, CF, AR
SF - PA, ZB, MM
PF - MM, RK, Willis
C - SM, RN, Willis

Anything else will be a welcome surprise but I think CF, LS , PA, MM and SM will be a strong starting
five and we will have a deep bench

[shock]

Keys to next year:

1. Point Guard- Conner, Landry, Smith, Simon

Landry has stated he will be learning how to play point. We also have Smith coming in. My question is whether Conner has the ability to run the point in Marshalls system. Honestly, I expect to see a lot of Simon in the first half of the season as Smith gets his legs under him.

2. Shaqs Conditioning

We need the beast we saw this week every game next year.

3. Coaching staff

There has been a lot said about offense the past few weeks. I agree with the idea of a shooting coach. I think if ACGH leaves, his replacement should be an offensive guru that specializes in the shooting form. Also, it would be great if we could find a chair on the bench for Jans. Some know how highly I think of him. I am not holding my breath for a return. I think there are better situations out there for him.

Ty Taylor needs to beat out a guard, not a big. Landry, Connor, Zach, Markis, Payton, Smith, Keyser. That's seven guards of the 13 scholarships. Reaves is eight. If Hamilton or Nurger aren't back, it won't be because Ty is still here.

[tropicalshox]

I'm going to agree with @1979Shocker:. I say probably back but maybe not.

[choida]

I agree with this for the most part.

Landry, Markis, Shaq are "Locks". Frankamp probably close. The last spot is still up in the air, I believe.

You gotta think one juco and or Peyton Allen will have something to say about the nine man rotation

I wouldn't be so sure about Hamilton being here next year. Sure, he has a lot of raw talent, but he's basically known the system for two years and still doesn't seem to get it. Does he get another year to see if that will be the year? Maybe he will be like Derail Green who improved a lot after he left.

And then there is Nurger. He's had a few flashes of potential, but he's nowhere near the type of player that Marshall needs to have.

This is Hamilton's first year, is it not? He did have a year at Sunrise, but I don't recall him having spent time with the team like ZB did.

If Simon is anything other than a human victory cigar next year, we might as well make plans for the CTI postseason tournament. He's more mascot than player. He played WAY too much this year.

I just want to get back to balance scoring and not rely so much on 2 guys

I'll eat crow if necessary, hold me accountable. But that would be the most talented dude to leave by transfer in a long long time...

I think he was with the team the summer before he decided to go to Sunrise, so he at least knew a little bit of the system and what to expect. That's what I meant. Then he had this year.

What about the JUCO situation? Any Hannahs or Raglands floating around?

We already nabbed one, D. Smith.

[Dan]

Kelly's minutes are there for the taking if Hamilton can put in the time to figure out how to take them. I like Kelly's hustle, but I hate playing 4 on 5 and am hoping those days are over now that Wessel is gone.

[SHOXAAC]

We already have him coming, in Smith.

Sorry, just saw your resonse to Fev.

[DPruett2333]

I would be shocked if one or both of the JUCO transfers don't start.
