With the hint today about Andrew White, the team is absolutely LOADED heading into next year.  Crazy that just a few short weeks ago, we had only 7 scholarship players and a number of disconcerting gaps in the roster.

Taking at face value that White will indeed be in the fold, just look at how our depth chart looks.  Please note, I'm not suggesting that this is who will start, or the order they'll play--just listing it by players who can play the various positions:

[COLOR=rgb(255, 128, 0)][B]Point Guard:[/B][/COLOR]              John Gillon, Frank Howard, Tyus Battle

[B][COLOR=rgb(255, 128, 0)]Shooting Guard:[/COLOR][/B]      Tyus Battle, Andrew White

[B][COLOR=rgb(255, 128, 0)]Small Forward:[/COLOR][/B]        Andrew White, Tyler Lydon, Matthew Moyer

[B][COLOR=rgb(255, 128, 0)]Power Forward:[/COLOR][/B]      Tyler Roberson, Tyler Lydon, Matthew Moyer, Taurean Thompson

[B][COLOR=rgb(255, 128, 0)]Center:[/COLOR][/B]                         Dejuan Coleman, Pascal Chukwu, Tyler Lydon, Taurean Thompson

Some quick observations:
[LIST]
[*]Damn, it's nice to have quality depth after a few lean years!
[*]Outside shooting could be superb, with Gillon / Lydon / White, and complimentary contributions from Battle, Howard
[*]We've got an embarrassment of riches at the power positions
[*]Our bigs could come at teams in wave, without much of a drop off in talent
[*]All 10 of these guys can PLAY.  Not suggesting we'll have a 10 player rotation every game, but JB will have some options
[*]Lots of multi-position versatility
[*]If the team meshes from a chemistry perspective, we could make a deep run
[*]Foul trouble should NOT be an issue
