So, here's who we have for next year - a lot of youth.
What do you think the depth chart will look like? Seems to be a lot of talent so minutes might be spread out.
Cyclones Add Three In Late Signing Period - Iowa State University Athletics Official Web Site - www.CYCLONES.com - Iowa State Cyclones Sports New Guys:
Dominque Buckley, Guard - Freshman, 6'2/190
Scott Christoperson, Guard - Sophomore (T), 6'3/200
Wes Elkmeier, Guard - Freshman, 6'3/175
Justin Hamilton, Center - Freshmen, 6'11/220
Clinton Mann, Forward - Freshman, 6'7/220
LA Pomlee, Forward - Freshman, 6'8/230
Jamie Vanderbeken, Forward - Junior (T), 6'11/240
Returning Players:
Charles Boozer, G
Cameron Lee, G
Sean Haluska, G
Wesley Johnson, F
Lucca Staiger, G
Diante Garrett, G
Alex Thompson, F
Craig Brackins, F
Bryan Peterson, G
I think Depth Charts might look something like this:
PG - Bryan Peterson/Dominque Buckley/Diante Garrett/Cameron Lee
SG - Lucca Staiger/Diante Garrett/Wes Elkmeier/Charles Boozer
SF - Wes Johnson/Lucca Staiger/Sean Haluska
PF - Craig Brackins/LA Pomlee/Clinton Mann
C - Alex Thompson/Justin Hamilton/Jamie Vanderbeken
I think that Cameron Lee, Sean Haluska and Charles Boozer will not see the court as much this year. Buckley and the new big men should make an immediate impact. Staiger will finally be playing and should keep defenses honest and free up the big guys in the middle with his accurate shooting and Elkmeier can fill the same role too. I'm looking for Wesley to have a big year and to see Craig continue to develop as his builds confidence and consistency.
Overall, I have a pretty positive outlook for the season.
