Why is it preposterous for us to start 3 freshman when high profile teams around the country do this often?

Our whole team may not be there yet but our recruiting class sure as hell is.

Only the uninformed.

I think Hornsby would excel off the bench in the 3 fresh lineup

I'm not 1 of the people that thinks it's preposterous to send returning startets to the bench for 3 freshman. I think all 3 should start.

But there have been some threads like this in the past few weeks and some people think that there's no way that you start 3 freshman and send returning starters to the bench.

And I disagree 100%. IMO, the only guard that keeps his starting spot is TQ because of his length and defense.

But I hope that Robinson can give us some quality minutes next year. We really need a true Center.

because they generally recycle starting lineups every year. we return a ton of guards so it's hard to say that the Fr will start or not.


If we land Newman it's going to be really tough to find minutes for everyone.

- TQ is almost a lock to start. He is our most important guy coming back.

- Hornsby is our top returning player as far as minutes.

- Then you still have Patterson and Gray.

The thing that sucks is Malik Newman, Blakeney, Gray, Patterson, and Hornsby are all 6'3" or shorter. Blakeny maybe pushing 6'4". Still not really tall enough to give us much versatility in most lineups.


i could see a crunch time lineup of

-TQ
-Blakeney
- Hornsby
-Simmons
-whatever big emerges

who starts really doesn't matter.
