Without knowing the system that Boals will implement, I still
wonder where we're going to get our points next season. At 8
ppg, Saintel doesn't seem like someone who is going to fill it
up, and why did his production come down from his 13 a night his
freshman year? I do like that we explored the juco ranks to get
some more polished depth in here.
If you were to divvy up 70 points among the remaining and
incoming players, how do you think it would be divided?
Walker 12
Woodhouse 12
Sturdivant 10
Sekunda 6
Saintel 6
Garcia 6
Nyama 4
Mitchell 4
Campbell 4
Yeboah 2
Petras 2
I'm not including Thrower, Almonacy or Donohoe.

I'm a bit more optimistic on Yeboah and Campbell than you are.
I also think that, assuming he's fully recovered from his ACL
injury, Sekunda could be counted on for substantially more
scoring. Additionally, just curious as to why you would think
that Almonacy would redshirt, but not Garcia? My thinking is
that Garcia could be a prolific scorer. If 6 points would be it
for him next year, my guess is that he would redshirt as well.

Who knows if Garcia will be fully healthy? He underwent knee
surgery if I'm correct in the offseason. Ideally, I'd redshirt
Almonacy too given that he needs time to refine his game and
bulk up considerably. However, we don't have a true backup PG on
the roster so he may be pressed into playing (particularly if
Thrower isn't on this team).
I'm not sure how much to prognosticate Saintel- he was having
monster games in the middle of the year but tailed off. His type
of athleticism isn't in our conference so I think his
performance is unpredictable.
Honestly, our team is a big wildcard. If Boals gambles and hits
a homerun with Saintel, we'll be in good shape next year. In
this league, having one stud can really give you a heads up even
if the rest of the team is mediocre (see Hartford last year with
Pancake). The biggest question I have is what we have with
Alonzo- he comes from a powerhouse program (Gahanna) but was a
backup player there. You can't teach height either and there
aren't too many legitimate 7 footers in this conference.
I dunno, I'm cautiously optimistic. Anything can happen in March
obviously but I think we'll be a solid team this year.

Same here.. cautiously optimistic. But Checkmate does bring up
an interesting and legit angle that I didn't think of before..
that we might have trouble getting points. We will see. I was
expecting (or probably hoping) Thrower to make a jump in terms
of contribution and production but he might not even be on the
team. Any news from the court hearing?

A lot of unknowns with this team. I suspect 70 some odd points
could be a high end limit . It also depends on how Boals plays
defense man to man or zone. If we can keep the other guy at
around 60 something we have a chance . Still see only 15-17 wins
next year and hopefully a 3rd place finish at best.

At first, I had it at 65, but then I saw most teams in the
league were in the 70s. I think we're really going to have
trouble scoring with any consistency, which is why I think
Garcia is forced into action, assuming he's healthy. I know
very, very little about the RS guys other than Campbell is
pegged as a jump-shooting. Between he and Petras, I'd love it if
one emerged as a serviceable backup/complement to Sturdy.
I would be fine with Thrower as a backup PG if he comes back. It
was a luxury to have Tre and Woodhouse this year. If Thrower's
out, do you throw Almonacy in there? I saw very little in the
times I watched him, particularly on defense.

From what I gather from his social media, Nyama was playing hurt
last season. If he gets healthy, I expect him to be an impact
player. I've also been bullish on Yeboah. I don't really know
much about him, but he was playing in the elite pro-league in
England and his team won the championship. I also think he was
also an all league player in the division. Granted the English
pro isn't saying much (I think Danny Carter averages around 20
pts a game for reference) I like the production he had over
there.

I think Yeboah is probably the greatest unknown on our team. I
have virtually no way to project him- players from England
generally aren't impact players here with some notable
exceptions (e.g. Luol Deng). I think he's got the physical tools
to be a nice rotation player next year.
I trust Coach Boals and his judgment on playing time issues.
He's been around high end NCAA talent for the last several
years. With the exception of Woodhouse, it will be a lot of guys
fighting to earn their playing time. I, for one, am excited to
see what comes of that.

I am gonna miss Warney so much.. I got too used watching Warney
making buckets near post look easy. I don't think we have any
post player... It's gonna be a lot of jump shots and guards
getting to the basket for lay up
