    Josten
    Kwadzo
    Reed
    Koch
    Coleman

    The wild card could be Kerwin Dunham. I guess it depends how he developed during his redshirt year.

        unless dunham adds 40+ pounds, he is not a post, he could be another guard with height.

          I think you'll see Dunham in the 2 & 3 positions, not in the 4-5. I expect to see Lucas O'Rear to be able to contribute in post right away. I wonder if we can expect to see Everette back next year. He's another big body, but I wonder if he sees what it will take for him to play especially after playing football up to Christmas this year...

          Here's my lineup:

          PG - Kwazdo (Jones)
          SG - Josten (Brown or Viet - Both need to improve Defensively)
          SF - Reed (Dunham)
          PF - Koch (O'Rear)
          C - Coleman (Egleseder)

          We are also looking for another player (Juco?) that might help immediately. Coleman will now be a three year starter, Josten has a year, while Reed/Brown/Kwadzo/Koch all have some real game time experience. Jordan and Jones I still feel will be learning on the job next year although both will probably be much improved. Dunham and O'Rear are real question marks at this point. If they can contribute right away, this team looks like it has some depth. If not, and we can't find someone to run the point other than Kwadzo, we will look a lot like we did this year.

            this may be wishful thinking, but it is a very athletic lineup...and this combination would give us an athletic guard court and we all know that hurt us this year. so here goes.......

            PG Josten
            SG Reed
            SF Kock
            PF Coleman
            C Egleseder

            Bench
            Viet
            Brown
            Ahlegbe
            Dunham
            Jones
            O'Rear

            From all accounts i've read barz needs to put on weight, but will be a good fit for our team in two years as a redshirt frosh. Well there you have it. take it or leave it. although i'm curious to see others responses.

              Barz will most likely redshirt. I don't see Josten suddenly moving to the point position. Even in times when it would have helped us this year, he didn't run the point. It won't happen for his senior year. Kwadzo is the point guard for this team next year with Jones or a transfer as his backup.

                Until our coaching staff pulls there head out of their arse and puts Jordan Egleseder on the floor it is not going to matter due to the fact we will continue to get down by 10-15 points consitently and have to count on hot shooting to come back and win one out of three games.

                  That's equal parts player and coach. I heard Rich Glas say after the game that some of the players did not look ready to play. They just didn't have it. I agree that the coaches should have made some lineup changes before that game got out of hand. It was like a replay of the Creighton game.

                      Eglseder gets 20 min+/game...O'Rear about 5-10 at the posts
                      There will be a new recruit in the guard group, but only one will be signed. Viet, Dunham, Jones, Haak, and the new guard will be in a group to get the rest of the minutes.

                        Your right...Egleseder and O'Rear will both see significant minutes. Let's see how it plays out but I think we will try to sign two guards or 1 guard & a wing.

                            PTTB - Do you see Everette returning next year? I know that doesn't change scholarship options, but I wondered what your thoughts were.

                              Yes...but I don't think it really changes much if he does.
