Re: NEW THREAD: INFO, '09 commit

New starting 5 and second team
DG/Buckley
Christopherson/Colvin/EiK
Gilstrap/Staiger
New commit/Hamilton
Brackins/VDB

We will be so much more athletic next year. I really expect this team to be very good by the time conference starts. I think Nov/early December this team will have some growing pains because there will be 2-3 new guys in the starting lineup.
:skeptical:After watching the NCAA tourney this weekend, I'm even more depressed about ISU BB. Bill Parcell's said, "you are what you're record says you are". In my opinion, McDermott has done a poor job of putting together an NCAA talent type team. We are still a long ways away from the NCAA tourney.

If this is true, this is huge. I think the worm has turned as we are going to have more talent on the floor since 2000.

I think we're right on the cusp of something fantastic!!!

I'll russle up a PM list in a second here. We're enjoying the Amazing Race, so I've been moving slowly.

Re: NEW THREAD: INFO, '09 commit

How do you know that Buckley is better than DG and should be starting. Dont you think that if DG is starting that he has won the job? Just because we want something doesnt mean that its true. GMAC will play who he thinks works best for the team. Do you want Tiller to have more playing time next year too?

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Buckley has shown that he has a lot more "upside" than what DG has. DG has been solid and doesn't turn the ball over, but he just isn't a scorer. This team doesn't need a Jacy Halloway, we need a Jamal Tinsley. (please note, I'm not saying Buckley is the next Tinsley, but I think he can play more that style)

Re: NEW THREAD: INFO, '09 commit

NO!!! don't spoil it, send another PM!!

Would the newest addition make for 3 4-star caliber recruits for next year? Have we had that before?

I think it would. The team should be a whole lot more athletic and able next year. I think we're bridging the talent gap a lot quicker than I would have thought we could.

A PG doesn't need to be a scorer.
