[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 762074, member: 1199"] If this was a normal season with normal lead-in practices, I might feel different than I do today. Having played with the same guys for three full seasons in HS and then entering college ball knowing no one, I believe we will need some time for the newcomers to meld their tendencies and skills with the returnees. Here are my thoughts: Howard will have a tough transition to the very different offense and defense at uga than at GT. I hope he will concentrate on learning to play the middle of the 3-1-3 zone and know how to find his man when CJP calls for M2M. We do not need him to be an offensive priority. He does not have to be James Banks. Saba has a different transition. The inside players he will be facing in the ACC are grown men with a lot more bulk on their bodies. He needs to adjust to that. If he has, he will be the starter at some point this year. Sturdivant needs to remember what he does well. When he is in the game he needs to be a defense 1st player. Hopefully, he will be paired with DeVoe and not be expected to fill the bucket from outside. Maxwell knows he was recruited to be a shooter. I worry he will be a work in progress on defense. I am very optimistic he will be a year-two starter if he develops on that side of the ball. Meka could be the guy who plays the inside of the 1-3-1 zone if Howard and Saba falter. I do not expect mush from him offensively this year, but he a tremendous athlete. The bottom line is that we are trying to work five new players into the lineup. Do not expect all five to make it.
