      Starters: Jones, Gach, Lohner, Allen, Carlson

      Bench: Martinez, Plummer/Falslev/Brenchley, Battin/Jantunen, Thioune/Van Komen.

       

      That starting lineoup, with Martinez coming off the bench is maybe the best offensive lineup we’ve ever had… Jones, Gach, Lohner, Martinez, and Plummer are all great shooters, yet none are one dementional offensive players. Battin can stretch the floor, Allen, Lohner, and Gach are all terrific at attacking the rim, and Carlson will be a good presence on the block along with Battin. We’ll be great defensively too. Gach has huge defensive potential, Jones will be pesky, Allen can guard 3 or 4 different positions, and Carlson will be a solid defender down low… and don’t forget Van Komen, who is a huge wild card in all of this. If he pans out, he’s like a walking, talking NCAA tournament ticket.

      My only hope is that the guys that transfer away are the ones who aren’t going to be getting playing time. There will be a lot of those this offseason for sure.

      If coach K can limit the transfers after this season then I’ll climb on the hype train with ya.

      My guess is coach has scholarship spots planed for those coming in next year. For now, there may be others that occupy those spots like a walk-on with scholly benefits while knowing they are in a spot that is someone’s planned spots. I expect that they know that and have chosen this path. It may be a path to something somewhere else. For some it may appear as a transfer. I think we will see a lot more people given a shot when they are in the margins rather than only giving 4/5 year rides.

        Those guys? Yeah, it’s possible. We have guys transfer, but most are not contributing when they do or they are replaced with better players. Tillman is the only exception
