We lose CJ Anderson, BJ Raymond, and Bronson:

We have 3 ships:

What do we need?

I think option #1 is a slasher SF
option #2 Shooting PF or athletic PF
option #3 Bank it and/or best available.

I would also not be shocked if Miller redshirts Walsh because minutes are tight in 2008-2009 at the SG and SF, and only use 2 scholarships in 2009.

Now that I have gone on this rant, what do you guys think?

[Muskie]

I can definitely see Miller Redshirting Walsh (the more rest his ankle gets the better in my opinion). I'd place PF at #1 simply because I haven't really seen any of the transfers play. I guess I'd also want a combo F/G for further depth.

Of course it all depends on how the new guys play.

[DC Muskie]

Anyone still think we will redshirt Walsh, especially with the amount of minutes and development of Graves?

[xuwin]

I would put another point guard number one on my list. With Lavender leaving we will only have one true point guard on the team(Lyons) and he will be a freshman. What happens if he turns out to be a bust (example: Odia) or gets injured. The way Redford is scoring in high school he doesn't appear to be point guard material. He obviously isn't being used as a point guard.

[XUB]

Point could be a concern. I agree with Win.

[Drew's Crew]

yeah PG could be a concern if Cheeks gets hurt. Redford is technically a PG but he is so superior than the competition, I think he is prolly PG by default.

THat being said, I still have confidence in Dante to fill in if needed.
