Plus the fact that SDW was a Rivals top 150 (actually 125) recruit. Just needed a development year to get in shape and add some size, which he did. Count me as one that is very excited to see him play this year.

I don't ever recall him saying that but that's not to say that I didn't miss it...
We have a few of those types of recruits in the lineup this year. Think that Thomas and Morris probably fall into that very talented young player type as well Naz has had a year to develop also.
That is a slippage as fred originally was pumping PGibson couple months ago. Maybe the Cap League is an indicator.
Hopefully he develops fast, because he has the potential be be our best player on offense... He's pretty well rounded with dribbling driving and shooting ability.
Morris will need to get ready fast to man the Point when Kane needs a breath. It hurt us last year when Bubu wasn't there for Lucious.
It sounds like Morris and Naz are first off the bench. I take that to mean Morris is progressing well.
Hopefully they are progressing well enough that we can be in a three guard lineup more often than not. Unless Ejim and Niang are prepared to play the entire game that is, otherwise we will need Hogue see some of their minutes.
Standing a little taller today. I realized I own that same tie Fred is wearing in that picture. I should print it off and use it to pick up women while wearing said tie.
In all seriousness, a line up of Kane, Thomas, Houge, Ejim and Niang excites me.
Of course, just knowing that Cyclone basketball is around the corner excites me.

I bet SDW will play somewhere in between 5-12 minutes per game. A lot of it depends on if Bluford is shooting the ball well. SDW is a pretty streaky player. I could easily see him getting in a groove and passing Long/Bluford in minutes.
I tend to agree. He and Bluford will sort of be used interchangeably this year. Whoever has the hot hand, and which ever one is more consistent (at all facets).
I see them each having a couple of really big games, where they go off. I also see them having several games where they aren't effective.
How much they play will to some degree be determined by how ineffective our offense is at times. I think they'll be the "instant offense" subs if we're not able to score or the other teams starting to pull away.
The determining factor in playing time will be who can play defense. There was a reason why McGee didn't start.
We had Babb and McGee wasn't a PG? Or because he was a 6-1 SG when we had a 5-11 PG?
Because McGee was all threes and a spark. Babb could shoot and was one of the best defenders in the league.
I have to laugh at the extent to which people are forecasting playing time, roles, etc., based on Chris's 500 word column regarding a scrimmage he didn't see.
