Assuming everyone is healthy, EWill/Otule/Mbao have reasonable development, and our new guys are as advertised, we are big enough, fast enough, and deep enough. Look at the rotations of MSU or Nova. Not significantly taller at any position. Yes, Syracuse will still create matchup difficulties. But if everyone is healthy and develops, not as many as you think at first glance. Take this size, depth and athleticism and pressure all over. Think Mizzou, Louisville, Kentucky. Attack.
So much depth. So much potential.
We have the potential for some amazing rotations with a lot of speed and athleticism. There are at least 10 players that could see quality game minutes. We'll finally have a deep bench, this excites me.
the great thing about Mbao is he may have the foot speed to actually hang with a relatively fast pace.

Yes, but I hope Otule and Mbao don't pick up three fouls in the first five minutes they play. That is going to be their downfall initially.
I think the big surprise will be Fulce next year. If he could learn to be a little better on defense, his offense should score us some points!

Those two and EWill just play whack-a-mole when they get any PT. Even just keeping their hands straight up when they are on D would be better.
Does anyone know if someone in the Chemistry department is working on making the Extenze pill work vertically?
really like our chances THIS YEAR......but am very very excited for NEXT YEAR.............
Smith has a 45" verticle - wow! I believe DJ was at 39/40"
Guards will be bigger next year and I see EW playing a much bigger role. I would not be surprised if he ends up playing more than Otule and Mboa combined.
The great thing about our line up is that everyone except our two bigs should be able to put the ball on the floor and create. Most of them have proven or are billed to be good shooters too. It will be fun to spread floor with these guys and let them play.
