What's Your Conference Record Prediction

[Nukem2]

Unfortunately, I'll go with 8-10. Those blue and gold tinted glasses tell me otherwise; but, reality is staring me in the face.

Reality is striking home. Love our guys and our coach, but there are missing pieces here. Unfortunately (again), I'm changing to 6-10. (PS, really really need a PG for next year. Can Duane and Nick fill the bill?).

6-10 sounds right, which two games should we refuse to play on our Sched? (Yes I am a smartass)

Obviously, 6-12 (changed from 8--10). thank you smartass...

I don't think Duane is the answer at PG. He is careless with the ball. Wojo may have to hit the Juco circuit to pick up someone with experience. I don't see him being comfortable with a freshman PG.

Probably slim pickings for Juco or HS guards at this point. Perhaps a decent graduate transfer will pop up that wants to go to MU, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that possibility. ( How about a foreign guy?).

I think Duane is going to be more than fine - I think he is our best option at the point my far right now - not even close in my book. He's not even halfway through his red-shirt freshman year after all. He can drive and dish or close the deal himself. Does he need to clean things up a bit - yes, but again, IMO, he is the clear cut best option right now.

They all don't start, but I like these guys getting starter minutes - Duane, Matt, JJJ, Luke, Juan.

When the recruiting is done, and next season starts, Duane may be our best option at point guard. You have to plan for what you have, not what you hope to have.

Yep. And Duane and Nick are what we have. Don't know if Cheatham will be able to help out there?

[Alan Bykowski, "brewcity77"]

I think Duane can be a solid point guard by next year. His role this year is basically as PG3 on a team with two senior points. He can be a little loose with the handle, but a year's seasoning should help sort that out. He still has a decent A/T ratio (29/22) considering he's being asked to play more as a 2/3 most of the time.

Looking ahead, a starting 5 with Duane, Jajuan, Ellenson, and Fischer at four of the positions gives me a lot of confidence. Not sure who else will emerge, but this team could be very fun, especially if they can add a grad transfer or JUCO that can contribute immediately.
