I think you start with who won't start.
Dendy-high energy but he's better in spurts up to 20 minutes/game
Christopherson-his D was exposed v. OKieSt.
So I'll go with;
DG-you can't replace that kind of expierence
Phillips-sounds like the next Kantrail Horton plus can guard a 2 or 3
Colvin-just too talented to not get majior minutes
Gilstrap or Brackins automatic if either returns otherwise JVB
Hamilton-he is turning into a very solid Big XII post
Even though we'll start 3 guards Ejim or Gilstrap will play the 3 a lot
with Dendy rotating in up front and Christopherson in the backcort
Colvin had offers from other major programs, and has had issues here. He might see greener pastures like WJ did, and realize he doesn't like McD. He would fit into an uptempo fast break system much better than the current ISU system. He also may have expected to be a starter or see more playing time.
Some big assumptions bolded above.
Why do you think he would be better in an uptempo system? He seems to do well (for a freshman) in the half court sets as well as on the break.
I personally don't think the other major offers matter that much.
If we're just going to predict mass exodus in a "plan for the worst hope for the best" scenario I could maybe understand. But what I don't understand is why so many people are running around assuming that a talented freshman is an automatic to leave. Obviously it could happen and has happened here recently, but Colvin has played well since coming back and the early season body language concerns are long gone.
yaman3- I hope you're right about CC, and I had high hopes for him early in the year. But I'm not seeing any progress or development since then, and that's probably on the coaches. He's shown he can be a very good passer, but hasn't shown that he's a good finisher or jump shooter. I agree that he's only a freshman and has a lot of time to develop, but it looks to me like he's actually regressed as this year has gone on even as he's got more playing time.

I think it seems like he has regressed because he is more under control. I think he will be fine. He just needs to become a little more mature and get used to the speed of the game.
My friend you have your head in the sand.
One game simply means nothing.
Well considering he plays harder than everyone every game and is more consistent game in and game out than anyone else I would say I have my head out of it. He is the only one I can confidently say will show up for the game.
