Thoughts? I’ll hang up and listen. Isn't Graves more of a 2? I think williams starts at the 3 and skogman/hadrnett at the 5 but who knows. I think we have a good roster!

SGBull Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I think we will see a 9 man rotation again consisting of the following players in tight games. PG) Davonta Jordan/Ronaldo Segu SG) Jayvon Graves/Antwain Johnson W) Jeenathan Williams/Gabe Grant F) David Nickelberry F) LaQuill Hardnett/David Skogman This is assuming Mballa is sitting out and Fagan is on the IR for the year. If one of them plays I could see the rotation stretching to 10 players. Edited July 2, 2019 by SGBull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's the team's 6 man this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? I’ll hang up and listen. 1st 3 seem like pretty close to locks. I'm not sure who I'd pick next, between Jeenathan, Nickelberry, Hardnett, Grant, (Mballa if eligible). I don't know those guys well enough to pick. It's as deep of a team as last year, it would seem, without saying it's as good as last year, as they will have to get used to playing with/for each other. It's crazy that I mentioned 10 guys, none of who is Segu, but he doesn't start in front of those 3 listed at guard, but I'd wager he gets a good deal of time on the floor.

trueblue32 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I think Jordan, Johnson, and Graves are pretty locked into starting in the backcourt. I think Nickelberry gets the 4 spot but maybe Hardnett pushes him. The 5 is the tricky spot. At the 5 I feel like Mballa is the most physically ready but if he has to sit I'd think Skogman starts. While Bertram isn't anything exciting I don't see how he doesn't get some minutes at the 5 if for nothing else to eat fouls. Hardnett isn't strong enough to deal with true posts and it's tbd how Skogman does there. Here's how I picture rotational depth charts. Gallion doesn't have a clear path to mins and neither does Fagan regardless of the injury situation. Bertram is probably out of the rotation if Mballa is eligible which puts us at 10. Deeper in season I see Williams getting potentially buried with a redundant skill set to Nickelberry and Hardnett while Grant gets spot mins providing shooting none of the others have. Primary Ballhandlers: Jordan*, Segu Secondary Ballhandlers: Graves*, Johnson* Wings: Nickelberry*, Hardnett, Grant, Williams Forwards: Mballa* (?), Skogman, Bertram It'll be interesting to see how it pans out but I like our odds for the 3-peat.

Loved his energy while on the bench cheering for the team and thought we could maybe see a leap of improvement from him. I wonder if he can get a medical redshirt.

McBulls Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Bummer for Fagan. I suspect no problem for medical redshirt. I know he wasn’t a huge name, but he was really productive as a JUCO freshman. For perspective, numbers not dissimilar to JUCO freshman Justin Moss. Assuming he recovers we are still set for some time to come with athletic, skilled and mobile bigs (Skogman, Mballa, Fagan, Hardnett... wow!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 He had surgery on it 3 weeks ago. Not sure which procedure as the two main procedures have wildly different recovery times but nonetheless it’s sad to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 At his age, he could easily be back playing by MAC play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubbulls84 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Jordan, Johnson and Graves def. a lock like everyone said. I think at the 4 Nickleberry gets the nod. 5 spot is tricky, against a smaller lineup Hardnett might get start there but bigger lineup probably Skogman. We are a little thin at the 5 spot in my opinion until we get Mballa. When we match up against bigger teams were gonna be a bit undersized and Bertram is likely to get some bench minutes way we look right now. Solid bench also w Williams, Segu, Grant and Hardnett/Skogman. I think Gallion might get some bench minutes too atleast early on. This team will definitely have legit shot at 3 peat this year.

He most likely will be brought back slowly. But still incredible that he’s back this soon. Hopefully by late February into March he can be a rotational factor.

SGBull Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I thought Fagan was going to be out all year. It will be great to have him back. Still hope Brock can come back soon though because Fagan doesn’t have the body type to play C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're already a good rebounding team without Brock and Fagan so it can't get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all rooting for the kid, but objectively has there been a player further from a force in recent memory? I'll take Brian Andre at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

961819 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Whatever his contributions have been so far I’d still love to have him healthy ASAP so that Mballa can play more aggressive defense. He’s been holding back on attempting to block shots because he’s pretty much it as far as forward depth goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on defense and rebounding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against the guy, seems like a great guy and 100% team oriented, but fact is he’d be doing us a big favor by transferring so we can have another spot open to try and recruit a stud center to go along w Mballa or a Juco that can do damage also. He’s just not going to be the guy that you were hoping for, just too slow to play at this level consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
