Hell, I'd love it if Prince could take the backup PG spot from Howell. But if Pearl is wanting to get C-Lo some time at the point, this could be a good situation to do it.

due to our lack of depth in the paint, it wouldnt b a total shock to see Prince playing a little bit at the 4...

If Tyler Smith transfers to Tennessee and wins his hardship case, Brian Williams would likely redshirt. There just wouldn't be any room for him in the rotation, unless Pearl wanted to go 11-12 deep-- which he usually won't do.

And if Tyler receives a hardship for next season. If he's cleared, our lineup will consist of Wayne, Tyler, Jujaun, Chris, and Ramar. Down low, Childress and Crews will come off the bench. Brian won't get significant time assuming Tyler is eligible.

Here's what I think the rotation will be.

Assuming the Tyler Smith situation works out:

G- Ramar Smith, So. (Jordan Howell, Sr.)
G- Chris Lofton, Sr. (Josh Tabb, So.)
G- JaJuan Smith, Sr. (Cameron Tatum, Fr.)
F- Tyler Smith, So. (Ryan Childress, Jr.)
F- Wayne Chism, So. (Duke Crews, So.)

Once J.P. Prince is eligible:

G- Ramar Smith (J.P. Prince)*
G- Chris Lofton (Josh Tabb)
G- JaJuan Smith (Cameron Tatum)
F- Tyler Smith (Ryan Childress)
F- Wayne Chism (Duke Crews)

*With the possibility of Lofton running the point when Prince and him are both on the floor.

He is, but do you think he's going to come in and take JaJuan Smith's starting job? Not a chance. Plus, he's big and quick enough to abuse a few people trying to guard him in the post. He could also take them out on the perimeter to spread the floor. The biggest question mark would be whether he can guard the post.

It's a bigger lineup than we had last season.

I think you guys are right about the lineup, but a much more conventional lineup would be Ramar, Lofton, Tyler, Crews, and Chism. That would make it much easier for us to match up against other teams. Perhaps we will see that group on the floor together some time while J. Smith is getting a breather.

i dont think that will be the starting lineup because Jajuan is a senior and expected to have a good season but i do expect to see the lineup in at some points during the game

I like that lineup as well. It's just great to have that kind of depth, where more than 5 players are talented enough to start in the SEC. Hopefully we'll get used to this.

Latest report is that Lofton will spell Ramar at PG for about 10 minutes a game. The surpise is, at that point Howell will lose PG minutes but basically just turn them in for SG minutes when Lofton shifts to PG. Pearl said he wants Howell to focus on just shooting the basketball next season. He says he will be 'Lee Humphrey like' in his play. At least, that is the hope.

I do not know if I have that kind of confidence in Howell with our new depth. If Lofton shifts to PG, I think Howell will struggle to get SG minutes away from JuJuan and Tatum. Because with Lofton at PG we can put a very long, we can put JuJuan at SG, Tyler at SF, Crews at PF, Chism at C.

I agree, I don't see a ton of minutes in the future for Howell...I think he'll be comfortable in his role though. With all of our weapons on offense, Howell may be able to float around and get some spot-up looks from the perimeter. He's still a defensive liability though, and that's what concerns me most about him.

The great thing about next year's lineup (potentially) is the versatility - we don't have to play "small" all the time - we can mix it up with different combinations.

I am eager to see how good we can be once we can actually physically match up with teams. As for Howell just shooting, I think is he is definitely a good spot-up shooter. That would be a useful role for him. And, he could also be the emergency PG.
