I didn't get to go myself, but I've spoken with a couple of people who went. Unfortunately, they aren't exactly basketball aficionados, so the info I got was incomplete and not very detailed. I understand that Roberts looked good at PG and that Bridges looked really good in the post. That last bit jibes with what I had heard about summer workouts. And it matches what I would expect from Roberts. He should be our starting PG with Oquendo at the SG. Very athletic backcourt. I also heard that JAR shot well and that Holt, the Bama transfer, played well. Someone predicted they would both start, but I don't see that, as they basically play the same position. I heard that we are defending harder, which can come as no surprise. We HAVE to play harder on defense than under Crean; it would be difficult not to. It's still hard to predict a starting 5. The center and the backcourt are pretty easy. Not sure on the 2 forwards, assuming we go with a standard lineup. We need Ingram to get healthy. I think if healthy, he starts at one of the 2 spots. Where you put him will probably determine who starts at the other spot.

Good stuff! Much appreciated. I think this version of the Hoops Dawgs has a chance to be fun to watch - kind of like the current Falcons. May not win more than they lose, but appear well coached despite talent deficiencies and are at least competitive and entertaining to watch!
