I wouldn't be surprised at all if Monte Morris starts the entire year.

Me either, I put him 3rd string at both PG and SG but wouldn't be surprised to see him get a lot of time. You can never tell until they arrive here.

I guess, I thought he was more of a defender type.

Defense and slasher type from what I have read. Besides one video, I have not seen much else on him. Weird shot delivery though, crazy leg syndrome lol

If Monte is a starter all season, I think Fred would go to a 3 guard lineup with Jones still as the starting PG. I'd be pretty surprised if Monte was a starter from day 1 but when Jones is eligible, a bunch of different things could happen with the lineup.

Will Bubu be back by then?

It will be interesting at the point. Morris is ranked 82nd by ESPN out of high school......with a Scout grade of 83. Jones was ranked 89th coming out of high school with a Scout grade of 93. Both had 4 stars.

Jones, of course has a couple of years of Division I experience, but still, with these two, and the hopeful development of Naz, plus adding Custer in 2014 it looks like the point guard position should be in very good hands at ISU for the next few years.

I think that is going to be key....no matter who the other future players may be.

No point in talking about someone when you have no idea about his future. Worry about it when the time comes. Wish we had him this year though provided he is innocent.

I think Freddy will experiment a little bit between Monte and Naz at the beginning of the season and if that doesn't work out, Jones will take over

1 Maurice Jones - his experience wins out at least to start the season
2 Matt Thomas - will be our best 3 pt threat
3 Ejm - I think the 3 is his natural position and he'll thrive
4 Niang
5 Gibson

thoughts?

Big guards are going to cause us problems next year.

I'd never heard this before, either, but I haven't been following the MJD stuff too much; been too excited about the recruits coming in, and in fact had forgotten about him until cracking open this thread.

If he's not eligible until December, is it because of the timing of his transfer announcement? It didn't happen until late this summer, IIRC.
