Santiago Vescovi getting some love at #7.

Hopefully we have others that score to take the pressure off him as well as open the floor for easier shots.

 

[Freak]

Good to see Vescovi on the list.

I remember when we played Boogie Ellis last year and he went for 21 against us. Coincidentally, I think Vescovi really struggled that game. Anyway, I'm excited for basketball season.

All the ingredients are there for something special, especially the veteran presence.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Hopefully Knecht will be on that list at the end of the year

 

[Special Ed]

Hopefully, Knecht and Gainey will take some of the scoring burden off Santi.

 

[VolBricks]

Santi is the best shooter in the SEC? No slight meant for Santi it is just hard for me to believe he is considered the best shooter in the SEC

Who has more made 3’s than him in the SEC? Anyone else at 38%+ of 7+ attempts a game?

He's the leading returning shooter in terms of made 3s (91, last year). He was 3rd in the SEC, last year. It isn't that much of a stretch based on what is known about the returning players, and unknown about the newcomers.

I think it’s also worth mentioning that hopefully/ideally better PG play and more scorers around him will benefit him. His % dipped last year from junior season mostly as a result imo to his looks becoming more contested/drawing more attention, hopefully with the addition of more scorers he’s back to his junior year form of 40%+ on over 7 attempts a game. Obviously hard to take much from of anything from Europe trip, but he was 56% from 3 on 6 attempts a game from deep.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I will always wonder what could have been.............


If Barnes offered Keisei Tominaga.

 

[Volfan1000]

Hopefully Knecht will be on that list at the end of the year

With the additions of Gainey and Knecht, Vescovi should have a monster season since the defenses won't be able to focus solely on him.

It would be beautiful to see CRB and JJJ and SV won a National Championship together this upcoming season....

Listening to broadcasters pronounce it around here certainly would’ve been fun.

 

[KTrain]

Seems like Monsanto, Wake Forest played for ETSU about 6 years ago before Forbes went to Wake. This has got to be his 6th or 7th year. I may be wrong.....

Didn't want to make another thread for this, but I expect the
starting lineup to be something like this:

1 ZZ
2 Vescovi
3 Knecht
4 JJJ
5 Aidoo

2nd

Dilione
Carr
Gainey
Robinson
Awaka


Am I leaving something out? We have strongest lineup (IMO) overall since Barnes has been here.

Mashack , Jefferson and JP. Who is Robinson ?

Don’t forget his shoulder was banged up a big part of the season.

Don't think Carr sees to much playing time this season ..maybe RS with Cade Phillips...

 

[orangemadam]

Senior moment, meant Jefferson and not Robinson.

Mashack will be a very critical piece of the defense off the bench.

Thanks!

Agree

Move Gainey to the 2 over Carr and then insert Mashack at the 3 instead of Carr (who I feel will be a RS like Freddie last year).

 

[StickMan]

And, in my opinion, shooting isn't necessarily his greatest strength. He's incredibly savvy on the defensive end. And a very good rebounder.
