Starting 5 predictions

[bigroobluefan]

Hall starting pg all season 
Brown shooting guard, Summit Player of the Year 
Petty shooting guard, last season Rookie of the Year, he improved so much last season as his confidence grew
Faas or Kopp both are very good shooters and experienced players 
Big Melvyn or Ijeh at the 5. I am guessing Melvyn because he is more experienced and rebounds the ball well. Ijeh could take the spot by January well the Summit League starts like Petty did last season.
Gob I am guessing is the first guard off the bench with his size and length 
Babacar will play 15-20 minutes for his outstanding defense 
Grady will play more as he gains experience in D 1 ball
Ibandzo will back up the 5 spot as the third guy
Ring May redshirt unless he gains strength and muscle to fill his long frame
Ammons I am guessing will redshirt with 3 guys ahead of him at the 5 spot
i see lots of shooters and depth on this team. I am hoping the young guards are ready to play D1 and make a smooth transition like Brown and Faas did from Juco ball.
any thoughts?

I agree with your projection. We are fortunate to have so many returning players, and perhaps the most talent and depth in our history! It’s a coup that we kept Brown, Faas, and Perry, and an unexpected bonus with the return of Kopp & Baba!

hall
jamar
JP
Ring
Melvyn/Ijeh

Faas redshirt to heal his foot and get in shape (wild guess)
AK off bench for his shooting
Gob #2 PG
BABA is targeted defender.
Grady splits time with
Jamar and JP
Ammons redshirt for 10 years
Big DADDY Ibandzo will play and everyone will wonder why he cant score or rebound... dont think he has played for 3 years... could be wrong. May get 30 rebounds against KC Christian... but not the rest..
will be hard to keep Ring off the floor.
Our starting lineup could be a vicious 94 foot defense with Jamar being (barely) the weak link.
Big Daddy and AK only guys thAT CANNOT press.

AK is our shooter this year with the other guards.. Faas next year shooter. Grady is scorer next year and Ring becomes a star.. very unfAIR OF me to pin this on a freshman

Ijeh sets school record of 59 blocks for the season.

I hope you are wrong about Faas being out. I want he and Brown on the court because their outside shooting opens the court up for everyone else. Excited to hear that Ring is still growing and filling out. If Faas is out AK will need to stay healthy for the whole season. AK and Brown can open the lanes for to athletic guys to drive the lanes. I am excited to see Ijeh and Grady with the experienced guards. I saw that the Roos will be playing Albany and American U in a tournament around Thanksgiving.

I probably am wrong about Faas but know he had foot problem at year end...just figuring we almost always lose a guy before the season.
