Looking at 2015-2016

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

Our schedule only has two upgraded games. That's why the NIT limit is 11 losses. The NCAA limit is 8. That's the usual limit. It's either win in St. Louis or not exceed 11 losses.

How is that different than any other year?

Our schedule is actually better this year due to not really having any Morgan States to be a complete drag.

U Dub D III, Drake, SUI, MO State, Bradley, North Dakota, North Texas, Hawaii, George Mason, CSU, one in St. Louis are sub 179 RPI. That's 15 games. That is about the same as other years. North Carolina a 1/2 seed/Oklahoma a 3/4 seed in NCAA is the only improvement. Everything else we have seen before. We are in a marginally talented mid major league. Athlon Sports has no MVC teams in the NIT. We may not see OU in Hawaii.

Assume no injuries/issues: Starters Jesperson, Koch, Morgan, Bohannon, Washpun. Bench Lohaus, Freidman, Knar, Austin, McDonnell, Carlson, and Olsen. R/S Dahl, Haldeman, and Conrey. U Dub game Carlson moves into McDonnell's spot. Playing 9 the first three will be 1-2/0-3. Playing 10 will be 2-1.

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

If McDonnell is ready to play he needs to play. The 4 spot is the biggest question to me.

Yeh PJ can play there but he;s a SG and the most consistent 3 point shooter on the team. Also Carlson is very green at that position.

Agreed. If McDonnell is capable, he should play some. Jespersn isn't much of a four, although he would create matchup problems for other teams. The problem is we'd get killed on the boards.

As for the Wisconsin thing, the two programs have longstanding ties that were fostered by McD and staff. Jake obviously would've been part of that. There's some tie in that goes back a long ways, and the details escape me. This didn't happen randomly. I wouldn't read anything into it from a Jake/career standpoint.

I've been short with people who have thrown in the towel. No NCAA/NIT this year will equal zero 3 star recruits for 2016.

We already have a 2016 3-star commit.

I didn't realize Jordan Bohannon was that good?! Or did I miss someone?

Re: Looking at 2015-2016

I don't think anyone has thrown in the towel on this year, we'll be very good and a 19 year old that isn't quite ready for Division I basketball isn't going to make enough difference to hurt the future of the program.

I firmly believe McDonnell is going to play because his game is college ready and Jake tends to really like to play 4 true bigs.

Dahl is physically ready, but it's a long way from Class 2A private school ball to the Valley. I think he redshirts unless injuries force Jake's hand. You always choose a 7 footer's age 23 season over his age 19 season if you can unless you're recruiting Jahlil Okafor.

Haldeman is going to be a really nice player here, very gifted offensively. He's got miles to go on the defensive end and you can't play in the Valley at 165 pounds. If he has to play, we're in trouble because we're the most injured team in America.

Conrey is a no doubt redshirt. The body and raw skill set are there and the work ethic is off the charts. Realistically, you hope he can contribute in year 3 or 4. Any minutes he plays at any point are a real bonus to the program.

I like all five of the newbees. I was most impressed with McDonnell, Austin, and Dahl PTL stat lines. I know PTL is glorified pickup games. Yeah, I've heard Haldeman is a great shooter. I would have guessed he needs the weight room yesterday. The locals like Conrey's determination. I like what teammates said about Austin's toughness in the DSM Register. I think the Wisconsin deal will solve a riddle. It's hard to simulate games in practice. I hope Koch's back is ready.
