Anyone that has watched the last two games should know that when Railey has been in the lineup we do not give up layups, he alters shots, and is willing to dive or sacrifice his body to get the ball. In my opinion we have another Homan, Rancik, Edwards, Shirley, Vroman, and Hamilton if he would have stayed in the making. This guys in my opinion is the second most improved player on the team only to Diante Garrett with his ability to shoot the ball from the outside.
MIP(Most Improved Players this season)
1. Diante Garrett
2. Jordan Railey
3. Calvin Godfrey
As soon as Railey comes out teams can get to the basket at will, he simply is the difference in us being able to challenge teams defensively. Against Mizzou when Railey/Godfrey came in we went on a run and when Railey comes out we start to struggle defensively. When Railey picked up a foul late we were tied, he came out and we fell behind by 8, with his jump shot and his lost post moves that keep improving, I think it would be a mistake to not start him next year. He changes everything defensively for us and he can shoot. I love godfrey at the four but he simply cannot do for us what Railey can do for us due to his size, at the five, especially in Big 12 play.
I told my buddies that we would struggle in the Big 12 season if we didn't start one of these combinations:
1. Garrett
2. Anderson/Christopherson
3. Ejim
4. Godfrey/Vanderbeaken
5. Vanderbeaken/Railey
Next season we should start:
1. Who ever gives us the best chance to win at point
2. Allen
3. Ejim
4. White
5. Railey
Back-ups
1. Mcgee/Sledge/Odunsi(Hopefully one of these guys is Big 12 starter material)
2. Christopherson/Babb
3. Allen/Babb
4. Godfrey/Booker
5. White/Godfrey/Booker
I am not worried about offense under the MAYOR, I am however worried about defense, ability to create turnovers, and rebounding!!!! These three things account for about 75% of wins in my opinion!!!!
