With the schedule shaping up to be possibly the best/toughest schedule we’ve seen in a long time the big question is will we have a team that can handle it? We lost the 2 best players from last year, both capable of taking over a game. We do have 2 fulltime starters back but both are guards(Bothwell and Hunter). Assuming Jalen Slawson moves into a fulltime starter that leaves two huge voids to fill. Who becomes the 4th and 5th starters to fill the shoes vacated by Mounce and Gurley? Someone from last years team or possibly a newcomer?Just throwing it out there for discussion.

I’m sure the DII transfer guy is supposed to be out there somewhere. And maybe Hien? We may be smallish but the offense takes that into account. The hope is that the DII guy or one of the freshman truly is the lights out shooter we’ve been looking for. Actually 2 or 3 of those would be nice.

On a slightly unrelated note, I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come, but the Nike Elite Peach Jam here in NA has just banned the general public I guess because of fears of the dreaded variants. I was hoping to talk to whatever coach FU sends down and pick his brain a little. I don’t know if we ever get Peach Jam level guys, but we always have at least one coach scouting them. Anyway that’s out the window unless I run into them at Circle K or something.

Anybody who wants a vaccination either has one or can easily get one, but we still can’t get sports back to normal so I’m starting to doubt they will ever get back to normal. I mean, what more can be done?
