If not soon, then by Big East season for sure...I think Joey will take over the starting spot from Brendan. What say you??

I would prefer Jamal.

Yup. Jamal is the ideal fit. He has the length, quickness, and athleticism. Add in his rebounding and near-automatic corner three and he's ideal as a fifth starter.
Starting no matta. Joey is currently 4th in mpg and I think he'll remain top 5.
Joey will be starting soon, IMO
Starting line-up will be fluid all year, as it should be. I'm looking forward to the game where we start Matt/Theo with Ed. Ed's lateral mobility has impressed me thus far, and when we play someone with more depth to their front-court, Ed should be able to exploit match-ups.

Thats not going to happen.

Just wait till you see the Matt, Theo, AND Ed lineup out there.

I wouldn't be so sure. There's a lot of teams that a have the size where a 6-7 center is useless. Ed also sees himself as a 4 and thinks his best position is as a 4. I would also imagine that with there being an odd number of F/C on the team, he spends more time in practice as a 4 than either Matt or Theo.
I expect the starting line up to be fluid all year, with the exceptions of Sam and Markus.

Ed had all year to improve his outside shot, did he? Not sure and for sure he is not better than Sam, Joey or Jamal. He should be happy he is playing. He is an old
school type of 4 that is not being played that way anymore. David Boone type.

Defense dictates all. When we come up against PC with both Holt and Young, or CU with both Epperson and Krampjel (spelling), Ed will be able to bang defensively better than Sam, Joey or Jamal.
We haven't had the same starting line up yet. I predict this will be discussed more.

I actually think Ed sees himself as a SF, which he clearly is not, nor is he being deployed as one.

Ed is our man for vigorous defense. That is his role. Looking forward to more of those plays like he made where he ran the guy down and blocked his shot from behind.
I can see Ed hitting the weight room hard during/after his senior year and becoming a TE in the NFL.

Hmm...I could see it. Matt obviously at the 5, Theo at the 4. Someone said Ed thinks he's a 3, so let's put him there. Bailey at the 2 and since Joey has handles, let him play the 1. Starting lineup of 6'11", 6'8", 6'7", 6'8", 6'9".

We would lead the nation in offensive rebounding and "offensive" offense.

Couldn't disagree more, wouldn't be surprised if it happens against Kansas, who will be starting Lawson and Azubuike, which is quite the frontline.
No need to change the starting lineup.
It's good to have excellent players coming off the bench.
