~Name your starting 5~

Ok, It's about 0630hrs over here, and I don't get very much time on this computer. But I'll be home next month, and I simply can't wait.

I was just looking at the (MBB) Roster, and I am very excited to see a hopeful group of youg men ready to take to the courts for what will hopefully be an energetic & successful season. We still look pretty young with 4 seniors, 3 juniors & the rest underclassmen, but optimistically speaking, I really think coach McDermott is making progress. (If that wasn't a crossed finger comment, Idk what was :o)

Simply put I'd like to see what many of you think would be our starting five players!
Remember, just check 5 players names. I know I'm limited to a certain number of entries, so I appologize for leaving a couple of players off the list. However, once you have listed your starters, take a look at who you have on the bench! ...And just look at that depth!

God Bless you all!!! (See you soon!)

Jiri, Wesley, Diante, Rashon, and Sean.

PG Garrett
SG Staiger
F W Johnson
F Clark
C/F Hubalek

Big ups for taking the time to consider ISU basketball! Good work and get home safe!

D Garrett
W Johnson
R Clark
C Brackins (hopefully)
J Hubalek

I picked my five and then realized I didn't have any true guards in my five. :twitcy:

I went:
Garret, Staiger, Johnson, Clark, Hubalek

Thompson just didn't make my big man rotation after sitting out last year and Brackins should sit behind the leader of the team Clark and the good performances from Hubalek and Johnson. But if he proves he is better, then that is what it should be. But I don't think that happens right now.

This Thread makes me smile.
Rep to you Brian!
Get home safe!!!!

Oh yeah, ...Clark, Garrett, Hubalek, Johnson & Johnson.

you forgot the other walkon. I could see him getting a few PG starts to start the year.

I just hope Diante is halfway decent. He's only a freshman so he doesn't have to be Jamaal Tinsley, but we can't affort another Ricky Morgan, Corey McIntosh disaster.

Cory McIntosh wasn't a disaster. He just wasn't a big contributor. At least he could control the ball decently.

The first 15 games or so he was a disaster. I believe his defining moment was getting two 10 second calls in a 50 second span at Ok State. The last month or so he played a lot better. I wish he was here as insurance.

I love the person that voted for Currie.

i thought hubalek wasn't going to be with the team this year

I just want to know who the 2 idiots, and that term most definitely applies in this case, who didn't vote for Wesley Johnson. Must be EIU grads...

In Corey's defense, those were the two worst closely guarded calls I have ever seen in my life. The defender was literally 2 arm lengths from Corey. Closely guarded is usually defined as an 1 arm's length. I'm getting ****** just thinking about those calls.

One thing you have to remember about Corey; he did not have the confidence of Mac. In fact, Mac had such low faith in him that he didn't even want Corey bringing the ball upcourt even though MT was a turnover machine. Sorry, I won't miss Corey at all and think Diante will do a better job anyway; even though just a Frosh.
