Class of 2016 SG/SF Andrew White (VA; Grad Transfer from Nebraska)

[pearl31]

DC starts but gets pulled a minute in.

pretty much, unless he's killing it

Gillon
Battle
White
Roberson

...all start for sure. Lydon would get my vote to be the fifth, but it will likely be Coleman as the token starter. I don't envision him benching Roberson, even though Lydon is better.

Can't believe I'm typing that...

this is a reply from my georgetown friend after letting him know the news "
[7/8/16, 2:44:20 PM] Reps Direct: that guys stinks
[7/8/16, 2:44:28 PM] Reps Direct: ive followed him since high school
[7/8/16, 2:44:38 PM] Reps Direct: he wouldn't be on his 3rd team if he was good"

If we can get 8 ppg from DC, that would be huge imo.

nope, one or the other of Gillon/White will not be a starter.

Its not going to be the guy who avg 16 ppg in the big ten sitting on the bench.

Will be interesting to see who has the better all around game/brings more to the table- TR or AW, could be tough call. But JB probably has a LOT of tough calls next year.

Jb recently alluded to Lydon leaving after this season. I don't think he sits for Robey or Coleman. I know you mean just as a starter but I think Lydon is our best player and your best player usually starts.

I think Tee gives out the most likes!

Total? Yes.
Gives out Likes to Post Ratio? That's my boy, smithcuse

Correct, and it won't be the best player on the team, either

So Battle is going to be that good?

No it won't be. It also won't be here when he could have spent his last year somewhere else. Both start.

I can't get past the notion that you have a "Georgetown friend."

 

[RF2044]

Disagree. They both are coming here to start. And they both will.

I simply cannot imagine 2 of Roberson, Coleman and Cukwu starting over Lydon. Think about that. TWO OF THOSE THREE. I can't see it.

 

[gilardino]

I can tell you that White will be wearing orange. Enjoy your weekend

Lydon could be Acc player of the year, he has to start. I know he didn't last year, and I know Dion didn't, but still he has to start.

 

[pearl31]

Disagree. They both are coming here to start. And they both will.

It's a numbers game, which has changed since Gillon committed

Best lead guard on the roster. Battle @ 2. White @3.

Tons of size to run n' gun.

This is a huge pickup!!!

 

[TexanMark]

Top 5 here we come...

Thank you sir

 

[Jack Hall]

I have to think both Mal and Kid Mamba were given a strong indication when they were recruited that they would start. Just a hunch

And White for that matter

We're not going to start a backcourt consisting of a freshman combo guard and a guy who is a great shooter but averaged 0.5 assists per game last year. If we do, it'll change fast, like in 1989-90 when we started out with Stevie Thompson/Billy Owens bringing the ball up and ended up with Michael Edwards starting.

Boeheim doesn't normally bench returning starters, but his comment that he wouldn't have even played Roberson if he had any other option makes me think Boeheim sees an asterisk next to Roberson as a returning starter.
