Not right out of the box. You don't disrespect your veterans that way. I think Odo starts right away simply because we really have no one else at his position. Later on (by SEC) if they have proved themselves they will get a chance to start. This is assuming JOB is still with us. If JOB is gone one of them will start soon into the season.

Remember these are all star games. You just can't expect them to perform this well against an organized defense and veteran players. Having been disappointed by basketball the last four years (well maybe not this last one) I will reserve judgement until I see them start and play well in the SEC.

I am sure they will be an upgrade and if nothing else give us a lot more depth. And yes I will concede they could be stars.

I know fans and players both get hung up on who is starting. That really doesn't matter practically. I think all 3 will get enough playing time from jump to show what they are worth whether they start or not.

And hopefully coach Jones and staff can find the right mix of playing time for this collection of players.

That's why I'd like to see Johnny schedule some quality teams OOC so we can identify our strengths and weaknesses early and get our best combintions on the court sooner rather than later.

Could spell the difference in making the dance or not.
