My best guess at starting 5 and rotation:

1 - Skyy
2 - RJ
3 - TSJr
4 - Mayer
5 - Coleman

6 - Dain
7 - Rodgers
8 - Goode
9 - Epps

10 - Perrine
11 - Lieb
12 - Harris

13 - Open

Gist of it is the first 5 is our best 5 players and most versatile lineup despite no true Center.

A lot less clear after that. Dain probably gets the most minutes. The next 3 could be based on who’s hot or who’s not. Good thing is still a lot of overall positional versatility where anybody could sub for anybody.

Ball handling and defense will dictate a lot of where this goes as the season goes along. Don’t see anybody out of top 9 seeing important minutes unless injuries or a lot of fouls come into play.

I hope, that you are selling Harris short. I am looking for him to be the sleeper of the group.

Still sitting in the Bar Car on the CoHawk Train...

If he can do P&R and P&P effectively, watch out! I felt like his opportunities of those developments were reduced last year with Kofi anchored at the center (not that I complain about Kofi) but they will come this year.

Hmmm not sure Perrine will be playing much...at least not during the first semester!

Yea probably should have put something in there to that effect. I actually think early on the battle in practice between him and Lieb would be a good matchup and barometer as to where both of them are.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you but odds are good that there will be one freshman who doesn't see many meaningful minutes- probably either Epps or Harris. I'm more bullish on Epps. Reminds me of Nunn. Undersized 2 with a monosyllabic last name who just knows how to get buckets at multiple levels.

Dain is the wildcard for me. Literally have no idea what to expect.

Same but that’s a tough group to jump in front of especially when bigs automatically slot ahead of you if you can’t keep up with the top few guards due to matchups.

You're crazy having Sincere last on the depth chart!!!!!

Jimmy V Classic tickets just went on sale for presale through tomorrow (Oct 5th) at 11am, when it opens to the public. Presale code is : VICTORYOVERCANCER
I passed up on the MSG game because if I never go into Manhattan again, it will be too soon. Instead of driving the 90 miles into the Big Rotten Apple, we will be driving 800 miles to see Penn State play in the Assembly Hall, driving so close to PSU we’ll be able to see the Bryce Jordan Center from the highway. And then we’ll see Illinois at Penn State in February, a mere 150 miles.

But Manhattan? Ugh.

Doesn’t mean he’s the worst player. Or even anything less than a great player. Just means he has other guys ahead of him (in my opinion) and he can’t play 4-5 where there is less depth.

Perrin is in Kansas at a prep school. Hopefully here at the semester.
Thats what I’ve seen but considering we only play half a dozen to 10 games before he’d supposedly get here - just threw him where I think he slots for PT.
