Can someone post a depth chart for the team? With the freshmen and JUCO guys coming in, and others (lilke Risher, as I just found out) heading out, I think that we'd be able to get a decent handle on the team if someone posts a depth chart.

This is all I know:

SG - Larry Blair #22 - SR - 6'1" - 185 - (Charlotte, N.C.)
Previous year: Liberty Univ.; 22.6 ppg.

If I had to take a stab at it, I'd go with:

PG - Brew, Franklin, Jenkins
SG - Blair, a rotation of players
SF - Hubbard, Smith
PF - Porter, Baker
C - McClean, Winters, Jones

Probably our main rotation.

Outside of Brew & Blair, I would say that it appears froma distance that we'll be using a pretty heavy rotation early on to see how all these new faces mesh on the floor. Of course, Jenkins & Frankling will briefly get their opportunity to shine before Brew hits the floor from his transfer.

smitty is up to 215 now! what a beefy line up. our big men have some good size

if i had to take a stab at walk-on's with jersey's, i would say Kyle Ohman and moe barry being full time walk ons and dominique jones, and tyron (dont know the last name) rounding them out

I've arranged this according to position as I saw fit; I think that your starting lineup could look something like this:
PG - Franklin
SG - Blair
SG - Brewington
SF - Hubbard
PF - McLean

It's a small lineup, but... it's a small team.

PG - Larry Franklin - JR - 6'2" - 190 - (Mansfield, Texas)

PG - Justin Holland #1 - SO - 6'1" - 175 - (Atlanta, Ga.)

Previous year: Liberty Univ.; 9.2 ppg.

SG/SF - Dwight Brewington - JR - 6'5" - 195 - (Boston, Mass.)
Previous School: Providence College; 13.3 ppg.

SF - Damien Hubbard #11 - SR - 6'6" - 210 - (Boyce, Va.)
Previous year: Liberty Univ.; 8.7 ppg.

SF - Rell Porter #33 - JR - 6'7" - 195 - (Pittsburgh, Texas)
Previous year: Liberty Univ.; 5.1 ppg.

PF - Alex McLean - JR - 6'7" - 235 - (Bay Shore, N.Y.)
Previous year: Information unavailable.

PF - Lamont Winters - FR - 6'8" - 260 - (Jamaica, N.Y.)
Previous year: Genesis One Christian School: 12.0 ppg.; 10.0 rpg.

PF - Armon Jones - FR - 6'8" - 270 - (Powder Springs, Ga.)

I think the sarting lineup will be like this (pre Brew)

Franklin
Blair
Smith
Jones
Winters

Brew will start in place of Franklin when he is eligible.

There will be depth with Hubbard, Holland, Baker, Jenkins, and McLean. This team could go 9-10 deep. I think Russ is less likely to be in the rotation unless of major frontcourt foul trouble or injury. Rell may find it hard to get in there because he is not much of a scoring threat. He can D the ball, no question. The new frontcourt players are beasts. The backcourt will be difficult to predict because many can play multiple guard spots. I know Brew first love is the point, thus the reason to give him the nod at the point at this point.

I see three Texans in the starting lineup Pre-Brew. Granted, I have a rather distinct bias to my opinions.

:D

Frankly, with as many scoring threats as we will now have, I see Rell getting even more minute for his defense and work on the boards.

I agree with Sly, Rell will definitely get some PT. He will start in my opinion. Your best lineup is not always your best 5 scorers because all 5 guys can't score at the same time. I've always been under the impression that you need 3 legit scorers to have what it takes at this level.

I think the Starting 5 are gonna be

1. Franklin
2. Blair
3. Brewington
4. Porter
5. Mclean

Its a tough call though because Smitty has gotten a lot better, and the Big men are getting better everyday... Or Coach could go with a 4 Guard Set and put smitty at the 4... its tough to say. We will see who steps up the first games without Dwight Because he cant play until january
