I know this seasons basketball team still has alot of potential left in them to make a big splash in the big12. But who cant stop thinking about the team we will have next year? I really think we can get to and succeed in the big dance. Next years team has a little something in it that our past teams lacked... DEPTH

Starters
1) Tyrus McGee
2)Chris Allen
3)Melvin Ejim
4)Royce White
5)Anthony Booker

Bench
-Boo Palo
-Tavon Sledge
-Scott Christopherson
-Chris Babb
-Demarcus Phillips
-Elgin Cook

Jordan Railey/Eric McKnight- I believe that one of these players will transfer next year. Whichever one does the other will most likely redshirt.
I also think that Anthony Odunsi will redshirt. But that is a slim possibility he has been scoring with ease of late.

With all of that to digest i think our weakness next year will be either lack of guard experience or height.

This team is going to be very exciting next year. I think the talent that F.H is bringing in is fantastic. I think that Melvin Ejim can go down as one of ISU best players ever. Look at him now and think how good he could be 3 years from now.

ISU will be dominate in big12 play. A predict at least sweat 16 in the big dance.

I dont think he will. I would rather have him coming off the bench anyways. And Melvin Ejim has to be a 3 i think he would be alot better at 3 than 4. Besides if we have him at 3 we can move booker into the starting line up to add height.

see above.

You don't often see a guy who starts for 2 years, and is one of your best scorers, and all-around players. I could be wrong, but I would be VERY surprised.

If you remember he was on the bench last year until the injuries and lucca left.

I think it is way too early to be thinking much about this. We have no idea what injuries may occur, or what players may decide to transfer between seasons. Can't we just enjoy this year, and see how it progresses first? I have a good feeling about FH and the years to come just seeing what he has for a scout team this year, but let's just enjoy one year at a time. Maybe we won't be so disappointed that way.

I am not sure next years team will be more exciting than what we have in the guard court now. It may be better, yet it may not be as pell mell. The chemistry may be better this year also. Time will tell. DG and Jake will be a big loss for the team next year.

Well, we will see how it goes against better competition during the Big XII schedule, but Ejim has already shown to be a mismatch problem at the 4. He's scoring, and getting boards. I'm sure Booker will get plenty of minutes (as will Babb) but I think Scott will be more of a scoring threat. Especially with the way Hoiberg is having the offense space the floor.

...which begs the question - is he running the offense to the (current) strength of the team, or is this how he plans to run it w/ more depth in the post?
