| 9 weeks 5 days ago | Agree 100%. The 4 will have to be able to shoot |
I agree, Coach wants a 4 that can spread the floor with his shot. This will keep Smot in the rotation. If McGary can shoot the 18ft he will get some PT at the 4 too. I also think Coach wants two people who can handle the ball and Stauskas is that second man. He can immediately step in as a bigger more talent Stu from Day 1...and he will. I just hope the he and Burke can figure out how to defend opposing guards especially the quick ones that gave us trouble all year. I'm thinking we will go a lot more zone next year with our new size. I liked your lineup but made one change. Moran starts (he has really improved his game and know Belien's system). I think McGary backs up Morgan and Smot and still gets his minutes. McGary and Morgan won't play together much. Just like Robinson and THjr won't play together much..the latter probably will a little more because Coach will probably try and go small with Robinson at the four and playing zone on D.
main lineup to start the year
Burke/Brundidge

We can defend the first shot of OSU as well as MSU. The problem is, when OSU misses vs MSU they do NOT get the O Reb. When we force a miss against OSU they still get the O Reb on ~40% of their misses and usually score on the ensuing broken play or tip in. That was the story when we played them in Cbus. Good initial D but couldn't end the possession by getting the defensive rebound. On O we will struggle vs OSU unless Smot can get some points playing the 5. |
| 15 weeks 17 hours ago | next years lineup will be interesting |
I'm not sure THjr has the handles to run at the 2 spot in this offense. He plays the 3 now with Burke and Stu at the 1-2. I think Coach likes having two ball handlers on the court. In order for THjr to play the 2 he's gotta improve his handles and the 2-4 position really have to be stroking it or else teams will pack it in. |
| 15 weeks 2 days ago | I agree with this too |
I'm confident that we will have some pretty tight knit groups that play as a team really well. Looking at this last year it was clear that the team was greater than the sum of its parts. This is a sign of good coaching a bodes well for the future.
I just hope we sprinkle in just enough 5 star studs so that we have a couple of game changers on both sides of the ball. Sometimes you just need playmakers to make plays and those are the most likely types to do that. I'm confident that some of these will be coached up to these levels too, I just wouldn't mind having the occasional freak too. Like a Sammy Watkins, Lattimore, Trent Richardson..etc |
| 15 weeks 2 days ago | we had a good season last year |
But it was our first BCS win since when??? again great start and lots of people are excited. Nothing wrong with wanting some more. We're fans, we're aloud to be greedy.

| 15 weeks 2 days ago | if we had the #1 class |
I guarantee nobody would play down ratings...lets not act like they don't matter b/c we aren't ranked higher. There is a reason Bama/LSU and the SEC have ran off 5-6 straight titles. They have better players (mainly b/c they cheat but thats a different story). Better recruits equals more wins. I'm just glad UM is back in the top 10 range. Would be better if we beat OSU given their turmoil but we'll have to settle for 2nd for now. Now we just need to keep winning and get into the top 5 range consistently...and ahead of OSU.

| 18 weeks 2 days ago | I'd say Bama, ND, MSU, OSU, and the bowl opp |
All have DBs that can run with Roundtree and whoever else we have on the roster that plays on the outside in a 1v1 situation. UM is going to want to win 3 of the above 5 games so we better find/get another outside WR or fundamentally change the passing game(not going to happen). This is a huge loss. Hopefully there is a stud frosh that can stretch the field or one of the current guys (Jackson, Robinson) make a Denard like LEAP in the offseason.

The guy would almost always get beat to the edge. He was good at stopping smash mouth offenses b/c of his size and williningess to hit. But he was a liability in space. That being said, he diahnosed plays well and was not afraid to hit so that made up for a lot of his short comings b/c of the defenses formation dialed up by Mattison. Morgan needs to be moved to MLB once demends leave so that he can just focus on stuffing the run while the other LBs fly around the field.

| 19 weeks 1 day ago | Roy is not very fast, quick, or tall |
And he doesn't have the best hands. We stole him from Purdue and not OSU for a reason.
In Borges offense there are few of the Oh No / misdrection plays that Roy feasted on from last year. In this offense, you need to be able to get open just by running a great route and executing. IMO, Roy just doesn't have the ability to get open vs. most good DBs... Plus, in the beginning of the year when we played weaker teams Denard couldn't throw it in the ocean so that didn't help. I doubt Roy's numbers improve that much next season, UM REALLY needs Stounum to plays since he is the best athlete we have at WR and the only real number 1 type. If you look at the Sugar bowl NONE of our WRs could get seperation from their man. not even Hemmingway. Hemmingway does't have great speed but the guy knew out to win the balls in their air, there's a reason why he was the de facto safety value when Denard freaked out and just decided to chuck it.

You should support the UMhoops site for bball. MgoBlog doesn't have the be the only source for M news. UMhoops is the superior product anyways. |
