Starting lineup for the first game:

PG: Goodwin

SG: Bess

SF: Gordon

PF: French

C: Santos

Too big. Not enough ball handlers. Can't guard quicker players. I don't see Bess as the sg on a regular basis.

pg:  Goodwin,(will get a late recruit), Thatch

sg:  Bess, Jacobs, thatch

sf:  JJ ,Bess, Pearson

pf:  Gordon, DJ

c:  French, Santos

 

If we get a GT who is better than Jgood at the point, this may be the best lineup: GT - Jgood - Bess - Gordon - French

 

Wont see much of Thatch at all next year. But see him being much needed when Bess is gone.

For the best Lineup, need bess at 2.  I have a feeling this offseason the main focus will be developing bess' ball skills.  Not only for SLU but for his future career.

I'm really interested to see about Pearson. I could see him coming in and having some key contributions down the stretch, but I could also see a scenario where TF gives him the redshirt

Thatch will get the redshirt before Pearson. We need Pearson outside threat.  I honestly think SLU is very found in almost every aspect except for FT and 3%.  He helps too much with those two to sit him.

Until Welmer says he's not coming back, he's coming back.  50/50.

I thought Ford told Frank that there is a chance Thatch and Goodwin will both start. I would be very surprised if Thatch doesn't play major minutes.

Really?  This surprises me a little. Thatch still seems raw, but they know far more than me.

Goodwin

Bess

Johnson

Gordon

French

This would be my guess as well. Although I could see Ford using JJ as a sixth man again. It’s nice to have a scorer on a different rotation pattern than the starters.

I expect Thatch to get more minutes than Pearson. Better ball-handler, more developed defensively, easier to just plug in as a role player. I’m hoping Thatch becomes what I once thought Femi John would be for those Majerus teams.

That is a massive line up ....that can’t shoot. 

I think you could throw this lineup out there and play big against some of the A10 competition, mop the floor with them in the paint. Realistically though, I see Santos/French splitting time at the 5 with Gordon at the 4. Gordon will eat other front courts alive with guys like French and Santos alongside him...

Maybe go smaller with Goodwin, Thatch, Bess, Gordon, French?

Can it be next season yet?
