Estrella has earned all the minutes he can handle. As for Carey & Brown, Carey has the experience, but not the talent. So, I don't see why you can't split their minutes pretty evenly until the talent wins out. All I know is, as fans it's a good problem to have. Someone will likely be...

I think the 2 spot is Boswell's to lose. As long as he plays like the past 2 games, I'm pretty sure he will be the starter, if healthy. As for the big guys, I think they all play double digit minutes, although Estrella probably gets the most minutes. OK, Ament goes without saying. He's a big...

I was agreeing with everything until you got to the end. With so many new guys, it's hard to judge, but I see us being similar to recent teams, and possibly better by tourney time. I'm seeing 25 - 6. We are going to out-talent a lot of teams, and out-number others. Depth should be a major...

It looks like his job to lose. I think Barnes has probably been seeing things in practice that we are finally seeing in games. Perhaps Baswell was feeling the pressure of being a local guy, but I think he has been locked for these last two games. He has certainly improved since last year, and I...

That has me pumped! Definitely winning basketball, even if it doesn't show in the stats.

I really appreciate the last three posts (2 from omg and 1 from bto). This is what I come to this forum for! This does mesh with a lot of what I was thinking, along with what sounds like a great idea of moving Gillespie to the 2 position. I have missed most of the good play from Brown, but you...

I take this as a prediction for Jervis AND Rippey. Thank you for your insight, berry.

I thought he played his best game as a Vol, and I think his plus/minus was like 19, highest on the team. What from last night did you not like, or are you just talking about his whole volume of work? Personally, if what we saw last night was what we are going to see from now on, I'll be happy...

Add to that, we are still a very young team. If we do use the portal properly, we should be loaded for the next two years at least.

Speaking of looking to the future, weren't we considered a very young team this year? I think the vast majority of our players are freshmen and sophomores. I mean, weren't we a bit over optimistic to expect this to be THE year, just because we hit the jackpot at QB? I spend most of my time in...

It may take a while to gel, but I think they will get there.

It certainly is not.

OK, I pay a lot for my subscription, and it's been days now. What is the deal on the recruits who visited over the weekend? Somebody should be fired for this!

I think the potential is definitely there. We just have to put all the pieces together by the end of the year.

Based on the rave reviews for Brown (I missed much of the first half), I'm surprised that he only gets 5 minutes. Even with the depth with the bigs, that just seems low for someone who is apparently ready to play and contribute. Anyone else care to chime in?
