That’s awesome to hear that it seems the teams chemistry is good that always really helps.... sooo he sees nba potential in stroud??
How do you all see this new Edwards guy fitting in? He a starter ? 6th man?
Do you all think we will be a good rebounding team?
If we have good chemistry then the sky is the limit. The exciting part is that none of us know what will happen, so hopes are high. The Tech exhibition may not tell us a lot because it's so early, but it will be a fun barometer as this will be their 1st time all together on the court in front of fans.
I think our rebounding will be really good. Efe was already a top rebounder and has worked hard to get in better shape. I think Williams could be a double double guy (or close to it). Throw in a bunch of other big athletic guys and it's only a matter of wanting to get the ball.
William's and Tarke will be starters and should combine to be one of the top forward combos in CUSA.
I think if healthy then Edwards should probably start to round out the top 5. His experience and defensive prowess will go far in CUSA (and down the line). He had decent shooting percentages 2 years ago also (37% from 3 and 80% from the line).
Boum should be the 1st guard off the bench (6th man) and could lead the team in scoring.
Stroud could be a fan favorite and best candidate for an ESPN top 10 play. He may have the biggest ceiling, but may be initially limited with Tarke and Archie theoretically in the same position.
If Stroud is capable of scoring and defending at SG, then Hawkins may be in trouble of getting any more playing time. Hawkins should be our 4th guard right now, but will have to battle with Kennedy (or possibly another freshman gaurd) next year when Edward's is gone.
The guy I really want to see is Verhoeven. He has prototypical size for a PF and is an X-factor on defense. He and Vila could pose big matchup problems.
