With no N'Guessen, I'm guessing Noah.

I'm hoping TJ has a big year, too.

No idea what to expect of Diggins and Gianni, nor the freshmen.

I think we'll be noticeably better. Better overall talent and better coaching. Just adding Coach Martin adds 3-4 to the win column as I think the emphasis on D gets us easily 3-4.

I like what you did here! Could have also gone with "guessin' Noah", but that's just picking nits.

Probably Noah, but Cross has a good shot at it too. Hard to picture anyone else at that level for the 22-23 season.

He's probably trolling, but we have spots open so who knows?

I think he's definitely earned a scholarship and would add a shooter with a lot of D1 experience. Would definitely like him back.

Anybody hear anything on Javohn? I think he fits Frank's style much more than CJ.

But I would still welcome CJ back happily. If he even tries on defense he should see the court with the way he shoots the ball.

Strange theres no news on JG. Kids got talent so you'd think someone would have taken him. Must be more to the story

Probably most players with significant PT that are still in the portal have something else to the story. Often it's grades but no idea with JG.

Well, we have 10 players and really no clue on who else might be coming in. Other than the Will Bailey news it's pretty quiet so it's time for the annual "starting lineup" debate. The depth chart is pretty easy with 10 players if you use "position" BB rather than "positionless" BB.

1. Noah / Keon
2. Diggins / Luis
3. Weeks / DD
4. Cross / Gianni
5. Leveque / Woodley

Obviously, you can switch off and play bigger if need be. However, I would love to see us bring in a true 4 who is good enough to start. That moves Cross to the 3 and our rebounding and interior defense just got a whole lot stronger.

I think Keon starts over Diggins
