Gaining
View attachment 3385

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Bringing back Weatherspoon, Holman, and presumably, Ready.
Adding Stapleton and Strugg into the mix.
And then there's Malik.

FYI - that's 13 with Malik.

 

[dawgman42]

You also "gain" Joseph Strugg and Xavian Stapleton

 

[msstate7]

This is the lineup I'd roll out game 1 assuming Malik is back...

Ready
Malik
Q
Kegler
Herard

I've heard rumors (mostly MBs) that strugg won't be back. I'd use that scholarship on a good pf or best available transfer

 

[esplanade91]

PG - Malik, Ready, Peters
SG - Weatherspoon, Carter, Wright
SF - Stapleton, Kegler
PF/C- Holman, Strugg, Ado, Herard, Datcher

I like it, but I'll be surprised if the entirety of Newman, Ready, and Strugg come back. One or 2 of those are gone and methinks Howland picks up a grad transfer.

 

[ArcherSPS]

I forgot all about Stapleton.

The Stapleton injury sucks so bad.

The Stapleton injury sucks so bad.

Is he not gonna be back to pre-injury athletism?

 

[aTotal360]

Not sure, but he could be a HUGE boost if he comes back healthy. Most people don't realize how good he is.

I certainly don't apparently. Except for the fact that Howland wanted him, just looking at his stats and highlights, I would have thought he'd be another solid, athletic wing and that's about it. With the recruits coming in, I expect he'll be a little bit more than that or else Howland wouldn't have taken him. Although I guess Howland took him before he had signatures from several of our recruits.

The Stapleton injury sucks so bad.

Why? He wouldn't have been able to play this year anyway. And ACL's aren't the career killer they used to be; he should be fine.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Are we really gonna hype up a guy who, before he tore his ACL, averaged 7 ppg and 2 rpg at Louisiana Tech? While shooting 28% from three?

If Howland likes him .. than there must be something there to like. You do know that that was his Freshman year at La Tech and he averaged more points per minute and had a better shooting percentage from the field than Malik Newman in his Freshman year at State?
