What do you consider "rotation"?  We've had several years where 10 guys played around 8-10 minutes a game for at least 25 games out of the overall schedule.

To me, that's a rotation player to me.  That's enough time to impact a game and to have a meaningful role.  Those guys would be a third center, like the year we used all three of Fab, Baye and Xmas, or years when we used all four guards, even if the 4th guard was Allen Griffin, Tony Bland or MCW as a frosh.

That third center or 4th guard isn't going to play much in March, but that doesn't mean they didn't contribute, and that they didn't develop as a player in order to be ready to make the jump the next year.

By those standards, if we get White, I think we will play about 9 guys meaningful minutes.  If we don't get White, I think it will be 8 1/2 guys.

With White:
PG:  Battle 15, Gillon 15,  Howard 10
SG:  White  25, Battle 15
SF:  Lydon 35, White /Battle 5
PF:  Roberson 25-30, Moyer/Thompson 10-15
C:  Coleman 15, Chukwu 20, Thompson 5

Without White:
PG:  Gillon 18, Battle 15, Howard 12
SG:  Battle: 23, Gillon 17
SF:  Lydon 35, Moyer 5
PF:   Roberson 25-30, Moyer/Thompson 10-15
C:    Coleman 15, Chukwu 20, Thompson 5
