UncivilDKizzle, what are you hearing about Damian and Billy, strength & conditioning wise? They didn't play much in the summer league because of the prospect of the European trip. I think we've got good scouting reports on everyone but them. Also, I'd like to hear your take on a starting 5. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: UncivilDKizzle 's message, "The latest I've heard is that Andre reports he can see much better and is already seeing an improvement to his game. Supposedly his dancing ability has improved as well." on Friday, August 27, 06:53:09pm

Based on Ron's history, I see Saunders, Clark, Monteiro, Evans and either Peggau or Johnson starting the first game, because Everhart likes to trot out experience on Day 1. By the time the A-10 schedule rolls around, I expect Saunders, Clark and Evans to still be in the starting lineup, but I expect McConnell and Martin to have stepped up and either Wright or Jones to push BJ for playing time.

I like this year's roster more than any we've had in decades. I think it can be very explosive.

If Ron decides to run and press the whole year (a possibility), I could see the two platoons being:

Saunders, Marhold, Monteiro, Evans, Johnson.

Peggau, Martin, Clark, McConnell, Jones or Wright.

I think Talley fight for minutes too. Would love to see David Theis have a nice senior year.

El Duque, I saw Bill at one of his Summer League games. No question, he was lifting this summer. Arms are bigger. This will be a good team. We need the coaches to coach more this year than they did last year. (NT) -- Somerset24, Sunday, August 29, 12:04:12pm
Unfortunately I haven't heard much about Bill or Damian that hasn't already been posted by others. I knew Bill worked hard over the summer to finish his undergrad work. Hopefully he's right in thinking that he will now have more time to devote to basketball. I'd love to see his play improve. I'm sure Damian also worked hard over the summer to keep in shape, and I'm not really worried about his performance. My thoughts about the starting 5 are inside. -- UncivilDKizzle, Sunday, August 29, 07:58:11pm
- Agree100%, though I'm hoping Marhold can force himself into the mix. (NT) -- duq81, Monday, August 30, 02:13:04pm
