A lot of options for the starting lineup and we'll get a better idea of the rotation with the scrimmage against Nicholls this weekend, but here's my prediction with the season right around the corner.

PG: Xavier Pinson- Veteran Presence, could really be a big asset.

SG: Adam Miller- Real excited about Miller, could really set the tone on offense and defense.

SF: Mwani Wilkinson- According to Will Wade, Wilkinson has made a huge jump, could be a very valuable 6th man as well.

PF: Darius Days- One of the most important pieces to this team, when he does well, the team usually follows.

C: Efton Reid- Big Time Potential, big presence down low and has shown the ability to shoot the ball.

6th Man: Tari Eason- Bring the energy, could be similar to a guy like Emmitt Williams, could start as well.

7th Man: Eric Gaines- could be an outstanding on ball defender for us with his combination of speed and length.

8th Man: Shareef O'Neal- Shareef has so much potential, if he can stay on the court this year he could play a big role.

9th Man: Brandon Murray- Very talented freshman, can score and defend.

10th Man: Alex Fudge- Forward with a great combination of Size, Length, and Athleticism.

Other names to look out for:
1: Justice Williams- Could push his way into the lineup with his skill-set.
2: Jerrell Colbert- Great length, big potential, could be a great shot-blocker for us.

Really Hard to predict this lineup going into the season with all of the options, but this gives you an idea of the likely players you will see play a role.Real excited about this team! Boot Up!

Need to move Murray way up. He's basically a 7th starter after Tari Eason being your 6th guy.

He could push for a starting 5 spot in front of Wilkinson potentially he's been that good.

Basically feel like we have 7 guys we will play a ton - Pinson, Miller, Wilkinson, Days, Reid, Eason and Murray, then remaining guys probably trying to figure out who is the best in the next crop.

I think Fudge, Williams and O'Neal are all a little banged up right now one way or the other.

Heard from someone yesterday, and then someone sent me screenshots of some social media posts about “the comeback” and “speedy recovery”.

Hope it’s not true.

I would start O'Neal ahead of Reid to start the season. I am not a fan of handing starting roles to freshmen.

O'Neal has never been healthy here, and he's not even remotely close to as good as Reid. Reid is absolutely a starter. he is a likely 1 and done.

Murray will prob start at Shooting Guard now with Adam Miller out. He or Gaines will slide in there I’m assuming or you could go big and put Mwani at the 2 and put Eason in there.
