Kolek planning to go pro
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I personally see the starters as:G: Andrew RowseyG: Markus HowardW: Haanif CheathamF: Sam HauserC: Harry Froling (with Heldt starting the first 9 or whatever games)Thanks for the input. Is Morrow eligible this year thoughI think the backup C (John at first, Heldt once Froling is eligible) will get the most minutes off the bench and basically split time with the starter. After that is anyone's guess. I would hypothesize that Cain, Anim, and John would round out the rotation with Elliott and Eke getting spot minutes. But that is based off very limited viewings of each player and secondhand opinions from those who have seen a little more of them.

I was feelin' good about next year til I saw your starting lineup prediction - not that I think you are wrong.But that lineup really doesn't make us any better than last year unless there is a huge improvement from Hani. Two small guards (albeit great shooters), a guy who played his way to the end of the bench, a guy playing out of position at the '4', and a center who has yet to prove himself at the college level. There is not much chance the defense will be better with that lineup and it could be worse.We really need Cain or John to step up as freshman.
'I have said this before, but I would not be surprised at a small step back next year. Unless a couple people play better than I think they will.And while I think 2018-19 will be very good with Morrow's eligibility and Joey joining, 2019-20 could really be incredible if everyone sticks around.
Torn between:RowseyHowardSacarSamHeldtand:RowseyHowardSamTheoHeldt
My prediction is that Rousey starts the whole year, but as the season goes on Elliot will be taking away more and more of his minutes.
I really see the following:RowseyHowardHannieSamHeldt/froilingAlso, I think Sacar is a beast, but can some of you explain how you have a kid, who played spot minutes his frosh year and then red shirted is automatically in your starting lineups?I will admit he may be the first 2 people off the bench (with Theo or Cain) but not sure I've seen enough to see him as an immediate starter.

Has to be backup quarterback syndrome. We've been hearing for two years about how athletic he is, Reinhardt praised his work ethic and development, and we all have the nostalgic memories of Wade. Plenty of people were disenchanted with Cheatham last year, so it seems like Anim is the next most "known" quantity.Honestly, the same could be said about Heldt and Froling. Matty Ice Cream didn't just start ahead of Luke the last 7 games, he also averaged 20.5 mpg. Maybe Froling comes in and takes his spot by January 1, but maybe Heldt continues his development and is our main center all year long.
