[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 802298, member: 2299"] I disagree. We don't need to go crazy scheduling but there is no reason to do that. You do that when you expect to have an extremely young team, especially one that you expect to struggle in conference play, both to get them experience and game time in winnable games but also just to pad the resume and make it look not as bad. While we are trading experience for talent, one of the factors that helps us in that trade is that we will still, likely, be a very experienced team. Devoe, Usher, Parham, K. Moore all have a lot of experience and both Sturdivant and Smith have a good amount as well. We have a lot of experience expected back next year and while we are adding a good amount of young players, we won't be relying on the, The benefit is that of the 6 players I mentioned, we can pick and choose who is ready and play them, rather than being forced to play them and develop them on the fly. If Kelly isn't fully ready to contribute next year, we have the pieces to allow him a year to develop with a minor game day role. IMO realistically, our line up will look something like the following. Just a rough breakdown to give an idea. PG - Sturdivant - Smith SG - Devoe - Parham SF - Coleman - Moore PF - Ush - Meka C - Howard - Gigi. The only new face in that starting 5 is Coleman and even then we have Moore as a senior as another option there. While we are bringing in a lot of new faces we won't be forced to rely on any one of them in particular. It may take a minute for Smith to build chemistry, but we have Kyle and Bubba as well. It may take a month or two for Coleman to adjust to college life but we have Moore, and the option of going 3 guards with Bubba as well. Meka isn't likely going to be leaned on either. I don't think we should go crazy with the OOC by any means, but nor should we just dip any challenge at all. We have plenty of returning experience, and don't necessarily need to rely on any specific new face so we don't have to schedule to make sure that one particular player is ready. We basically need one of Coleman, Maxwell, Kelly, or Smith to step up. And likely as not practice and preseason will narrow that down to 2 and who plays how much can be worked out with a normal OOC.
