2016/17 Starting Lineup

[SUalldway]

Most years it's obvious next year lots of uncertainty and not because of early exits

To me battle Richardson Roberson and Lydon are four obvious starters

The fifth could be Howard, PC, DC, and possibly Moyer but that's the least likely but if Moyer is your 8th option you're doing very well

I'll go with PC,Roberson Lydon,battle, Richardson

The only thing is dies Howard push to the point guard ?

or if Coleman is more of a factor next year how does the center minutes get split up.

that gives us extreme depth at every position. Imagine the versatility with Moyer Tyler Tyler in a frontcourt with battle and Richardson as a backcourt

If Chukwu can add some strength and low post scoring moves, the PC,Roberson Lydon,battle, Richardson lineup would be awesome.

We had 2 five-star McDonald's AA's at center in the last few years - Christmas and Coleman. Recruiting hasn't been the problem.

and lest we forget #1 ranked center...

Yeah, it hasn't been a "failure of recruiting". We're getting quality players, but there have been development and eligibility issues, and you can't underestimate the impact of the loss of scholarships and its effect on our depth. Then add in a couple guys who clearly went earlier than expected, before they had matured as players, and we find ourselves short. But in a couple years, we'll be back on track and stocked up enough at the 4 and 5 to have the luxury of giving kids a couple years to grow into being an effective college big man.
