Before I start, everyone get your Bryce Cotton trading card and battle all of your buddies.
Here are my projected team stats for next year.
Starters:
1. Peyton Siva
2. Chris Smith
3. Kyle Kuric
4. Jared Swopshire/Rakeem Buckles
Player Roles:
1. Peyton Siva- Team leader
Elisha Justice- Sivas backup
Russ Smith- Justice backup
2. Chris Smith- Right hand man
Wayne Blackshear- Freshman 6th man/AN ACCOUNTABLE THREE POINT SHOOTER/ Diaper Dandy
Mark Jackson Jr.- This years Russ Smith(will get some clock)
Tim Henderson- Bench warmer
3. Kyle Kuric- Team Star
Mike Marra- Our Three-Point Threat/ first man off the bench
Angel Nunez- 6'8 BUT listed as a 3 guard,/ will see some minutes
4. Jared Swopshire- Our swingman/hybrid
Rakeem Buckles- Leading rebounder/ High post threat/ first big man off the bench
Gorgui Dieng- Our shot blocking machine(in my opinion will lead the nation in blocks)
Chane Behanan- This years Gorgui Dieng/ will get alot of minutes and will shock some people
5. Terrence Jennings- Low post threat/ our on court energy
Stephan Van Treese- I feel he will share minutes with Tony Woods/ will come in for rebounding a defensive purposes/ will see about the same amount of playing time that he did this season.
Tony Woods- Will be our leading rebounder off the bench due to size/ will get some good playing time
Zach Price- Bench warmer
well what do you guys think, give me some opinions.

Though I love all your "starters", I don't think that will be the case.
You are tight.

Also I'm not sure about lil Russy staying
Definitely don’t think he is ok with being the back-up’s back-up

really, i mean he is a good player but who else would want him
now that he is injury prone, he loves this team

Uh I don't think anyone else would want him, I just don't know if he still wants the Cards
I have nothing against lil outta control Russy.

I think the starters are a bit off.
No way Swop starts over Chane (and if he becomes healthy) and Rock, and I believe Blackshear is as close to a lock to start at the 3 as possible, with KK at the 2.

If blackshear doesn't start
There is a problem, after about 5 games chane will be starting too

i wouldn't hold my breath
freshman don’t excel under rick’s system. they just don’t. for every one that has, there’s 3 that haven’t. also, i worry that chane is going to be undersized in the height dept and oversized in the weight dept (he’s listed as 6’6 250 on rivals; ESPN is a little better – 6’7 230 – but describes him as having a “thick frame” that’s “gotten thicker each and every season”). i wouldn’t be surprised to see a DC-style weight battle shake out with him and CRP.
blackshear will definitely get minutes, but i’ll be surprised if rick starts him over a senior (rick is fiendishly loyal to seniors, even less talented ones – think Reginald Delk, who somehow got the start over the King for a whole season).
here’s how i see it shaking out:
First five: PS3 / CS5 / KK / Swop / TJ
Second five: EJ / WB / MM / Rock / Gorgui
Third five: RS / Hendo / Nunez / Chane / Price
I hope I’m wrong, because CS5 and Swop are decidedly unexciting to me. Ideally, we get to the point where our A-lineup is PS3 / WB / KK / Chane / TJ.
Finally, I expect big things out of Nunez in his time w/ us. he’s the type of player rick excels with – long, athletic small forwards that need development. think about how he developed Garcia and T-will from that mold…
I can't believe you called Hendo a benchwarmer.

During which game was the Victory Cigar invented? During the tournament? (BE)

Nice. That's what I was thinking...
It just feels like it’s been around longer.
by GOCARDSATTITUDE on Mar 23, 2011 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, I was talking about the Hendo Cigar.
But if you’re referring to the original “Victory Cigar” in sports, just look up Red Auerbach.
Behanen and Blackshear will start
Swopshire will be first PF off the bench. Swopshire may begin the season as the starter, but Behanen will take the spot from him. Lets face it, Buckles is not going to be healthy. He’ll play, but best case scenario, he’s 100% by the tournament. And even if healthy, it usually takes a guy coming off a torn ACL about a year of playing AFTER they come back to get to their old form. I love Chris Smith as much as the next guy, but Blackshear is going to start because, well, he’s just better. I agree with GOCARDS, I don’t see Russ Smith coming back. He’ll have to downgrade, but he just isn’t going to have a spot here. Last, I expect the King to Stay the King, and Siva and Jennings will take over as the “stars” of this team. Can’t wait.
I never count on freshmen starting
It could happen, but it’s far from guaranteed.

Just drive down to Lex and ask Cal about it.

Cal doesn't coach here
"Screech, you CAN'T elope!"
"Who are you calling a cantaloupe, you melonhead?"
I don't want to fall behind the curve here.
I don’t know if you’ve seen 5*s around the country. Wayne will be the most talented player on the team. Kids these days don’t need to prepare for college ball. It’s evolved. Lots of these kids are NBA ready out of high school. Wayne is one of them. Who are we going to start over them? Swopshire? His ship has sailed. Buckles over Behannen? He will be hurting until next calender year. As for Blackshear… CS5 I really like, but at times has disappeared. Marra? So far he has shown to be streaky at best. KK is more of a two. I’m just saying, I know there is a bust possibility, but freshman are a lot o the most talented players in the country.

My opinion
Blackshear will start from the get-go; he’s too good not to, and Rick has acknowledged that he is one and done. Behanan will not start but will get a starter’s minutes, merely because of the Pitino-freshman debacle. I was never really impressed with Swop but if he returns with the outside shot we had glimpses of I would like him as an oversized 3 sharing minutes with KK. That way Rock and Chane log a lot of minutes at the 4. CS5 should back up Blackshear at the 2 getting big minutes. I still like TJ and Dieng at the 5 and not sure where Woods will fit in. IMO Zach Price won’t get any minutes and could redshirt. PG position is self explanatory. This is how I see next year’s deep roster working out the best.

Pitino better start starting freshmen
if he wants to keep getting blue chip recruits. Otherwise why the hell would they want to come here when then can go spend their year somewhere else that will get them ready for the NBA.
Flip SVT and Dieng, both played the 4 and 5 respectively this year
I imagine it will stay the same next year. SVT isn’t large enough to play the 5 and doesn’t have experience doing it and Dieng will put on weight to be more assertive in the post at the 5 position.
TJ to the draft/pros
This year seems to be shaping up as a fairly weak draft (when comparing to previous years) I wouldn’t be shocked if TJ left.
Also....
I can’t see Rick keeping Chris Smith at the 2 for very long considering Blackshears length and how bad rebounding hurt us last year…but what do I know.
Not sure how this will play out.
Never can be sure how a freshman will adapt to the college game. And, surprisingly, Chris Smith had more rebounds than any other non post player on the team. I’m looking forward to getting more boards from the post spot and augmenting that with the other guys which should be much improved as well. 2012 could be a really great year.

I HATE this song.
But I felt the need to post.

If Pitino called Blackshear a "one and done" player
I would expect him to start by December, if not sooner. If RP intends on attracting more talent with “one and done” intentions, I think he has to. Who really knows about the other freshmen. I would lean toward RP’s track record of starting experience over talent/upside.

I wonder what the April fool's joke is going to be?
You know, the one that eventually comes true anyway…
"Rick Pitino to Leave Louisville as Permanent Analyst for CBS Coverage of NCAA Basketball"
“Will remain coach of Puerto Rican national team”

To be replaced at Louisville by Calipari
"Screech, you CAN'T elope!"
"Who are you calling a cantaloupe, you melonhead?"
Karen Sypher case finally appealed, Sypher released, hired onto UofL staff?
Not sure what would make me vomit more.
Lineup
I would hate this like pitino said blackshear is a one and done so he will start he is just too good not to start. Behanan the same pitino said he would make a big difference this year and hoped he could put up big numbers so he will start.
Personally I think the lineup will be siva blacksher behanan jennings and buckles if healthy and if not maybe Dieng Swop along with buckles probably wont be ready for the being of the season
