STARTING LINEUP NEXT WEDNESDAY

[BGCATFAN2012]

Predict our starting lineup next week. Will Cal go with Dilly, DJ, Edwards, Reeves and Ugo as a run and gun. Or slow grind DJ, EDWARDS, REEVES, MITCHELL, UGO?

 

[J-Ryan]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. If Ugo is in the starting lineup when the season starts we are COOKED

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Dj
Edwards
Dilly
Reeves
Mitchell

He will play the opposite of how we play in the regular season. He will try and run them out of the gym.

Bad take

 

[J-Ryan]

Bad take

I hope I’m wrong don’t get me wrong. But I don’t believe Ugo is ready yet. Hope he proves me wrong

 

[DoubleJ4Thr33]

Ugo should be ready by 2024-2025 you would hope. Might be 2025-2026.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. If Ugo is in the starting lineup when the season starts we are COOKED

And I’ll say it once again, we need and want Ugo on the floor this year.

Mitchell will start regardless, as well as Reeves. He will start those two because of their experience. Only reason Mitchell would not start is because he started practice late. Just my opinion and everybody should have one.

 

[JST390-2]

I like this also

Looks like a showdown

What do you base that on? Last year? You expecting no growth, physically and/or mentally? You have watched him train this off season? Explain.

 

[Lempface]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. If Ugo is in the starting lineup when the season starts we are COOKED

Why though? You've not seen the kid in extended time.

 

[UKAlum88]

Ugo definitely isn’t putting up Oscar type numbers but all he needs to do is give us 10-20 minutes a game depending on foul trouble and about 6-8ppg and 4-6rpg. That’s assuming Bradshaw is healthy.

No showdown. Not getting involved in any arguments. This is just my opinion. Maybe I should’ve worded it differently. If he is playing major minutes I think that’s not good. Nothing to explain. No proof. That’s just what I think. Again. I hope I’m wrong

 

[Fitch44]

Bad take

Exactly. Horrible take. Judging a player in July for the following season tends to not end well.

Mark it down. Pencil it in.

 

[reggis]

my starter players are edwards, onyenso, wagner, dilly and mitchel

Probably run the first and last inbound play of the season

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Wagner
Reeves
Thiero
Edwards
Mitchell

I was wondering if we see a lineup that looks like that and Thiero big enough to play 4 instead.

 

[ukgold]

dilly
reeves
Edwards
tre
ony

 

[anon1751545683]

I hope Reeves is not one of our best 5. If he is then we aren't very good.

 

[AllBall]

I think it'll be:
Dilly
Wagner
Reeves
Edwards
Mitchell
Then Cal will incorporate Ugo, Theiro, and Reed. Probably even give Hart short stretches to see how he reacts and what he can provide in this setting.

 

[Tampa_cat54_rivals112262]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. If Ugo is in the starting lineup when the season starts we are COOKED

We said the same thing about Josh Harrelson and a Junior Nick Richards.

We also said Sarr made us a Final Four favorite.

AKA- we know NOTHING in July.

 

[Cats_2010]

I hope Reeves is not one of our best 5. If he is then we aren't very good.

2nd leading scorer last year, probably the same this year.

 

[bucsrule8872]

He will probably try a lot of different combos. He will likely play all 10 scholarship guys available.

“Tre didn’t start because he just got here yesterday! I’ve barely even seen the kid.”

 

[Bigtyrone]

I hope I’m wrong don’t get me wrong. But I don’t believe Ugo is ready yet. Hope he proves me wrong

I unfortunately agree with you. He has a lot of potential, but frequently looked sooooooo lost when he played last season.

 

[HagginHall1999]

You have no clue. Neither do I by the way.

 

[HagginHall1999]

That is a total fallacy. Show me where he looked lost. Just tell me what game, I will look for it.

Truth is, he didn't look strong enough vs big competition. He played solid minutes vs Michigan and Alabama. Go look at the numbers. They just exploited his weakness.

 

[HagginHall1999]

For first game in Canada I'll say...

DJ
Reeves
Thiero
Edwards
Ugo

Agree. Give the returners first crack and make the others take it away from them.

Disagree. All we need from that position is for Ugo to catch alley-oops, rebound at a decent clip (maybe half of what O gave us) and be a rim protector. If he can do those things without excessive fouling, we're golden.

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

Dilly, DJ, Reeves, Edwards, Ugo. Mitchell can then sub out the 4/5 spots, Thiero the 2-4, Reed the 1-3.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Dillingham
Wagner
Reeves
Edwards
Onyenso

Go small. Experiment. Need a big off the bench and that's what Mitchell provides.

I think this is the likely starting lineup most of the season, unless we add a veteran 5 man.

Mitchell is probably the better all around player than Onyenso, but Cal will want a rim protector at the 5 as much as possible and also will want Onyenso to jump for the tip.

Now Bradshaw might change things, if/when he comes back.

 

[Smooth86_rivals109737]

There is NO way Mitchell is not starting..
First game will see..

Dillingham
Wagner
Reeves
Edwards
Mitchell

 

[caneintally]

It will be Dilly DJ Reeves Edwards and Mitchell. He already told Edwards he was a PF this summer with Bradshaw out. Anyone who thinks Ugo starts is smoking crack.
