Re: Depth chart predictions
Difficult to know who is speculating and who has good intel at times. With the exception of a few more frequent posters (aggies22, treesap32) or memorable individuals (troutputz), I rarely remember who said what or the accuracy of their historical posts.slcagg wrote: ↑October 17th, 2020, 10:04 amIt’s alright a lot of things are repeated on here.

Re: Depth chart predictions
Well, seeing as how multiple sources (videos, sites) when he was first recruited indicated him as a "power forward" or as someone who plays the 4 and 5, I took that info as more believable.I am an Aggie Man wrote: ↑October 16th, 2020, 11:43 pmI said Zapala wasn't a 4 back in May but guess I lack cred to be believed.aggies22 wrote: ↑October 16th, 2020, 10:16 amAt this point in time, the only thing I can tell you about Szymon is he is NOT a 4.

Re: Depth chart predictions
Could someone please explain what skills one would be lacking to be only a 5 but not a 4? Is it essentially quickness? Why can a 4 play the 5 but a 5 not play the 4?Real Life Aggie wrote: ↑October 17th, 2020, 1:31 pmWell, seeing as how multiple sources (videos, sites) when he was first recruited indicated him as a "power forward" or as someone who plays the 4 and 5, I took that info as more believable.I am an Aggie Man wrote: ↑October 16th, 2020, 11:43 pmI said Zapala wasn't a 4 back in May but guess I lack cred to be believed.aggies22 wrote: ↑October 16th, 2020, 10:16 amAt this point in time, the only thing I can tell you about Szymon is he is NOT a 4.

Re: Depth chart predictions
How many truly dominant true 5s are there in today’s game let alone the college game. Most don’t have a back to the basket game that can truly punish putting a smaller guy on them.nswaggie wrote: ↑October 17th, 2020, 3:31 pmCould someone please explain what skills one would be lacking to be only a 5 but not a 4?

Re: Depth chart predictions
I'm hoping to do a preseason preview for hoops that is similar to what I do for football. You you guys have any interest in reading something like that?

Absolutely zero interest in reading that. None. Why would you think that? I can’t believe you’d even ask.
You really ought to just throw yourself down a flight of stairs.

Re: Depth chart predictions
So I was looking for different preseason power rankings for the MW and I stumbled upon this hilariously uninformed projected depth chart from a guy who has us ranked 5th preseason. I'm formatting this the same way he did.
Guards - Brock Miller-JR, Alphonso Anderson-SR, Justin Bean-JR
Forwards - Neemias Queta-JR, Kuba Karwowski-SR
Bench - Szymon Zapala-FR, Rollie Worster-FR, Sean Bairstow-SO, Marco Anthony-JR, Trevin Dorius-SO
Can't say I don't secretly want to see Queta and Kuba on the court simultaneously, but Anderson playing SG is a bit much
Here's the link:

Forwards - Neemias Queta-JR, Kuba Karwowski-SR

Are they going to get to play with 2 basketballs? That would be a tough thing to guard..

Re: Depth chart predictions
Three juniors and two seniors. A lot of great experience so far, they won't get overwhelmed against experienced opponents, and their composure should help to set the tone for the game. This is basically the starting line up that all of us expected to start the year, plus or minus a few prognostications. We'll see how the competition goes, and if anyone nabs a spot from the team veterans (+Marco... veteran-ish).
Here's the real question... I know "positionless", but the typical 3 and 4 play a different role in where they stretch on the floor. When I've watched us play, it really seems like we've played 3 guards, a forward, and a center. (If someone disagrees, please speak up.) Given this, is Anderson going with the more guard position, and Bean going to more of the forward? Or are they really going to screw with everyone and constantly switch?

Re: Depth chart predictions
Bean's three-point shooting is something I've heard he's worked on a lot since last year. We know Fonzo can shoot. Hopefully Marco can shoot it alright. Queta was starting to stretch the floor last year with a pretty consistent mid-range jumper. It has also been said that Miller is a shooter. We should have a very diverse offense as it seems we can score from all positions. And I suspect between the Bean and Queta nary a single rebound shall go unclaimed by the Aggies.aggies22 wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 10:58 amExpect Justin and Fonzo to be interchangeable.Real Life Aggie wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 10:39 amThree juniors and two seniors.

On the flip side, last year we knew if the team was cold, Samwise the brave was just going to pick up 30 points. We don't have that this year, so I am worried about not having a go-to.

Re: Depth chart predictions
Should be a great starting line-up, assuming you sub out Miller at the first dead ball.

Re: Depth chart predictions
Does anyone know if Miller is better at practices than in games, because I’ve heard he doesn’t miss at practice right now. I just don’t know if he has always been good at practice and then meh in games.OrangeCountyAggie wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 12:53 pmShould be a great starting line-up, assuming you sub out Miller at the first dead ball.

Re: Depth chart predictions
They're probably not using those balls that have been embedded with a data-tracking device during practice, then. As I recall, Miller shot much better in games that did not have one of those data-tracking balls.frankiesaysrelax wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 1:36 pmDoes anyone know if Miller is better at practices than in games, because I’ve heard he doesn’t miss at practice right now.

1) Getting involved in a land war in Asia
2) Going in against a Sicilian when death is on the line

Re: Depth chart predictions
Something to note during the media day, Craig Smith said we have 4 that can play point guard. I would add that Craig Smith would not say who exactly is the starting point guard.

Re: Depth chart predictions
I’ve heard Marco and possibly Fonzo running a lot at point. I’ve heard Ashworth is a shooter but not the best handles and Rollie looks promising but needs work still. This is a “I heard it from, who heard it from” scenario so take it for what’s it’s worth.

Have you heard about any of the new guys impressing enough to get serious minutes? That’s what I keep hoping to hear.

Re: Depth chart predictions
Fonzo running some point? That’s interesting. I would guess it would be more from the point forward spot. Can you imagine him trying to guard Colorado state or unlvs guards.frankiesaysrelax wrote: ↑November 13th, 2020, 6:19 amI’ve heard Marco and possibly Fonzo running a lot at point.
