Remember that Prohm defers to his experience/seniors. I also feel that Lards offensive production goes up with Solo in the line-up ( much like Jackson Vroman's stats did with Homan in the line-up years ago). Remember too, how well Talley was playing at the end of the year, Lastly, Solo is a force in the middle on defense- just ask Tyler Cook.
I can see a Weiler Babb, Wigginton, Shayok, Talley, Solo line-up to start the season. That is a small ball run 'em out of the gym, play good defense line-up. As subs come in, the inside pressure rachets up on the opposition with the athletism of Lard and THT.
Lard has the athletism to guard away from the basket and needs to prove his commitment to do so this year in order to be starting by conference time. If not, Lard will start by conference time depending on the oppositions line-up and big man talent. Also, THT may supplant Talley if he proves to be an All Big XII caliber freshman talent.
I expect Lewis to be a much more reliable three point shooter this year. I also see Jacobsen providing solid back-up for both big men due to his experience in that other league. Halliburton will be eased into play and readied for success next year, as will Griffen.
Here's hoping our reserves get lots of mop-up time this year.
