You'll get no argument from me on that.  I think Gilbert will be healthy and play a lot, at least after Thanksgiving.  I think Smith is going to play [I]Hurley Defense[/I] from the outset, and Vital will need to match that to earn time.  The guy who I think is projected by many here to start and get lots of minutes, who may not, is Wilson.  He's a freshman, and while a nice recruit, is no "one and done" immediate star.  He's going to need to beat out Smith, Vital and Polley for minutes, plus B. Adams.

I expect the same up front.  Carlton, Cobb, Yawke, Diarra, Williams, Waley and maybe Polley will be fighting for minutes.

It's the first time in a long time we've had that kind of competition for playing time at almost every spot.  Aside from Jalen and Alterique, I think minutes will be up for grabs.  I am hopeful that it leads to a lot more on court intensity, and I expect Dan to yank anybody who starts to play lazy ball as we did so often last year.
