Who Starts ?   I have no clue.  Coach said something like that this is his deepest team 1 through 10.   Not sure there if one guy that could take over a game like Cohill could and not sure we're better in the paint with the graduation of Nelson and Green.

A lot of  new guys who have played 4 years of baksketball and some double digit scorers.

Brandon Rush will start and might lead us in scoring .He was good for about 14 pts a game last year.  EJ Farmer plays a similar position to Rush and was a part time starter at Toledo .  Nice size for 2 guard at 6'5" and in the limited videos I saw he looks like he can put up some points with 3s and drives.

The point guard position has two canidates in Brett Thompson who averager 12 pts a game at Tennessee Tech and Bryson Langdon who started for 3 seasons at NKU.  They might be able to play together with Thompson playing off the ball.

Ziggy Reid averaged  14 pts a game at Merrimack and at 6'6" 245 lbs brings some beef.   Not sure if he plays more of a three forward since he's a 3 point shooter or plays on the post.   Probably both.

John Lovelace was our 6th man last year as a frosh.  we'll see if he makes a level up and proves he can hit some outside shots.  Great defender and athletic.

DJ Burns looks to be strong post player at 6'7". Two year starter at Murray State brings experience and toughness.  Looks to play bigger than his size.

Jaylen Bates is 6'7" and put up 9 pts a game at Florida A&M .   Looks to me more of a non post player.  Looks very athletic and plays above the rim.

Two bigs at 7'0" and 7'3".   Not sure where they are at with their development but Zorgvol should probably get more minutes than Dynes based on experience.

Four fosh and a juco.  Not sure where they fit in the rotation.

Lousiana Lafayette went 26 -8 last season and 14 -0 at their home court. lost by 3 to Tennessee in the NCAA tourney.  Real tough opener for the penguins.

I just want to mention that I have 0 inside knowledge.  I'm looking at videos which can be deceiving and what they did at previous colleges.

YsuPride:
Rush starts for sure and everyone else is a guess.  We are very deep and beat Akron by 29 in a scrimmage last week or so.   Akron is the Mac favorite.  Interesting.  Been to a few practices and they look like they can jump out of the gym and size is there for sure.  this is the deepest team and most athletic team Calhoun has had a YSU.  Now we gonna see if we can compete.   I see another good season ahead.  Could win a few more games than last year if we jell and stay injury free.  Based on what i see in practice and production by transfers at other schools.   Any thoughts?  Good to see we have a big interest in the basketball programs at YSU for a change.   We need to not lose Calhoun for sure.  Do everything in our power to keep him. 

Double ET:
Do we have a go to guy on this year’s team?
When offense wasn’t clicking last year, Cohill took over and was a one man show. Other teams had difficulties in stopping him. He brought us back almost single handed.

I don’t know if anyone on this team has that capability. Any comments or observations?

IAA Fan:
Has anyone seen a game-day roster? I suspect we will see more tomorrow after the football game.

YsuPride:
Rush does.   He is better this year and will shine
