Does anyone think AJ Jr won't get minutes this year? Avery said he wanted an 8 man rotation. Sexton, Dazon, Key, Petty are all locks to be in the rotation. Hall, Giddens, and Riley seem very likely to be in the rotation. That leaves only one spot for Herb, Smith, Reese, Armond, or AJ.

I don't foresee Johnson not playing his own son. He'll find minutes for him.

And that's not to say he doesn't deserve to play. Against teams with weak on ball pressure, he was an asset. If he can hit his floater at a decent rate, he can be a really solid player. It's just against teams where they know how to pressure that he doesn't do anything to help.

I don't either, but I also don't think Herb will sit the bench.

I think we'll play more than an 8 man rotation.

My guess is...

PG - Sexton
SG - Ingram
SF - Norris
PF - Key
C - Hall

20+ minutes: Petty, Giddens
15-19: Reese, Jones
10 or less: Davis, AJjr
Spot Minutes: Smith, Schaffer

Damn... Javian has really been working on his body. He doesn't even look like the same person.

Ikr. The first pics I saw of him he looked really fat and flabby, not even a Z-Bo like build that you can use to your advantage.

Ready to see Ingram at 2. I hope it fits him more naturally than running point.

Having Sexton run the point takes alot of the pressure off Ingram, it also should help him not turn the ball over so much. Hopefully this will elevate his game.

Robert Woodard said 6 schools are working on him the hardest.

quote:

Mississippi State: “I think they have really good guards. They have a lot of talent at guard, especially with their shooting. That’s a plus.”

Alabama: “Avery Johnson is a great coach. He’s had experience in the NBA as well as college. He’s really good with guards and breaks everything down to a tee.”




The other schools are Ole Miss, Vandy, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State

Here's a good, sort of long column by Blake Lovell on under the radar players and the interest in SEC basketball this year.

1) Florida - They could be a top 5 team.
2) Auburn - First Iron Bowl of Basketball in awhile where both teams should be good.
3) Texas A&M - I expect A&M to be one of the best teams in the SEC. This will be a physical game.
4) Mizzou - Michael Porter Jr. coming in will be fun.
5) Tennessee - Just a good rivalry game. More often than not the games between us and UT are entertaining. I wish we still played them twice a year instead of LSU.
6) Oklahoma - I'm not sure how good Oklahoma will be, but they won't be as bad as last year. Having a big time OOC team come into Coleman is always exciting.

A lot of people would put Arkansas on there, but I don't think they will be as good as their fanbase does.
