If this happens, I feel bad for Hornsby Why? He would still get plenty of playing time off the bench and would have a shot at a final four.


Yep, Hornsby is clearly a team player to me. Dude just wants to win, he knows he's not an NBA player, but would love to make a deep tourney run. Like I said, we could almost go platoon system next year if we got Newman and M&M stayed:

Mickey
Martin
Simmons
Newman
Quarterman

Off Bench:
Robinson III
Victor
Hornsby
Blakeney
Patterson

Gray, Malone, Bridgewater, Epps eat up the blowout minutes or if someone gets injured (knock on wood but we've been lucky with injuries this year)...obviously one of those guys wouldn't be here if this scenario happened.

I think Gray could be a transfer candidate. But also, don't sleep on Gray. He has ability that not many on this team have, he's just not big enough to finish at the rim. But he's slowly becoming a pass first PG which is scary. IF he learns to drive and kick instead of going up for a layup he will be lethal. No one can deny his crazy handles and ability to get into the lane.

Before people start talking about his turnovers, look at his place since he started coming odf the bench. I think he's learning. Slowly, but I still think it's happening.

I'm pretty sure Blakeney would start instead of Quarterman and they would just put Newman at PG. All three of Newman, Blakeney and Simmons can handle the ball

Just the thought of
Mickey
Martin
Simmons
Blakeney
Newman

is just flat-out scary
