Dung / Cam will lead from bench

[Markusquette]

Don't really want to worry about next year right now. We have all summer and fall to do that.

Bruce Thornton would be an awesome Kolek replacement but Shaka won't go after the big transfers.

I'd bet that if Chase Ross isn't starting, it'll be Tre Norman. Shaka has said time and time again he won't recruit the portal to overtake guys he already has. He also mentioned Tre Norman will be an All Big East player. In his mind, he already has his guys.

This.   Stevie primary ball handler.

This.   Stevie primary ball handler.

That would be awful. He's shown zero ability to run the offense or make plays for his teammates. Plus he's asked to spend an absurd amount of energy hounding the opponent's best perimeter offensive player. Asking him to do that and then handle the ball handling duties would be bad.

Stevie will be fine as primary ball handler.   He has been showing flashes all season. Ross will take on the role of all purpose stopper.

I'm getting Mike Deane role player vibes from next year's projected starters.

Don't know whether he will be ready for that role next year, but it was nice to see some glimpses of a more assertive Tre while playing out the clock yesterday. It was good to see there seems to be a lot more there than what he has been able to show as a few minutes a game role player.

That's a good lineup. All players will be in their 3rd or 4th year in this program. Think the two freshman kids coming in will provide some additional offense. Would expect another season in the Top25 and a 6/7 seed. Still a lot of fun to be had.

Also think we add a young transfer guard with some upside who is currently averaging less than 5ppg and less than 20mpg who will be in the mix.

No one has blinked when that has been the line up this year.

You're exactly right, MU would be lucky to go .500 at best.  Gold at center would be a joke and Stevie is not a point guard.  Now add a solid portal transfer like Spencer you might be pretty good.

[warriorfred]

That's a good lineup for 3-4 minutes a half when the starters need rest or there is foul trouble.  But I don't see that as a Big East winning starting lineup next year.

Team will not finish in top 5 of Big East.

Who is returning, leaving, etc. from the other 10 teams?   Will Shaka be able to run back continuity and development?

That lineup hasn't played a single possession together this year, per hoop-explorer.

I think that lineup would have to have Kam as the primary ballhandler, not Stevie. Stevie doesn't have the offensive gravity that Kam does and isn't as good a creator for others. Stevie is better when he's able to make cuts, draw defenders, and get catch and shoot opportunities. Ideally, though, I think another PG would help significantly. Especially if Sean isn't ready. That probably has the makings of a fringe tourney team, but not a Big East contender.

All good questions, but irrespective of the other teams, I cannot see that lineup winning the Big East.

If you mean first year top 20 in the country. Then sure.

Wow.  My thing to learn for the day.
