Looking ahead already

[Da Hog]

So as we are all excited for the season thats left, I want to change it up and look into the crystal ball.
We are a very young team for the most part so I want to know who you are most excited to see playing next year, or 2 or 3 years from now and where will the Panthers be then?

Re: Looking ahead already

I think our recruiting has shown we are going toward a smaller more agile group. This is where the MVC is headed and is probably why you see 6'6" center/forwards like Eric Coleman, Lucas ORear, Rodenburg being successful. I really like Jordan, but the up tempo MVC game doesn't play to his strengths.

I look for us to become more of a guard oriented team. When we do go after bigs, I think we will look for quick bigs who can step out to hit the three and take the defender off the dribble.

I don't think we will see any changes in the starting lineup next year. I think Sonnen will take most of Browns minutes and Morrison will RS.

C-Jordan/Pehl
F-Koch/ORear/Rodenburg
3-Moran/Dunham
2-Ali/Haak/James
1-Kwadzo/Sonnen

Re: Looking ahead already

Kyle, I wouldn't mind seeing O'Rear getting the start next year over Jordan and getting a few more minutes. I think Sonnen or James could be the 6th man/energy guy next year.

We are really staking up on good guards. Next year alone we will have Ali, Moran, Sonnen, Kwadzo, Kerwin, and James.

Re: Looking ahead already

Don't forget about little Koch.

We will be VERY deep next year (more so than this year, obviously). I think that Dunham and Haak will have a tough time finding minutes with the addition of Sonnen and having James.

Haak is only a junior. Brown and Reed were the only seniors this year.

Why not redshirt Sonnen next year and let his first season he plays be Kwadzos senior year and then we would have 3 years of Sonnen being are dominate point gaurd. It would also give him a year to mature and learn the offense.

Re: Looking ahead already

If he's ready to play, you don't redshirt him.

Re: Looking ahead already

Sonnen is a contender to be Minnesota's Mr Basketball and has a college ready body. He will see a bunch of minutes next year...

Re: Looking ahead already

i think sonnen is perhaps even more college-ready than Moran was

Whatever you do, dont call him griff. Because when he is on Panthernation, his name is purrrrfect and he has kids.

I hadn't heard the kids part.

That is very hard for me to beleive. It would shock me really.

Re: Looking ahead already

Sonnen's body is much more ready for college than Moran's is.

Re: Looking ahead already

just google "marc sonnen". he is already big and ripped, plus he was also a standout football player. i believe he is a couple of inches taller than Johnny as well.
