Yikes!!

Clip was only 43 seconds long. Most of these other clips of individual players were 44 or 45 seconds long. Hopefully he works hard and improves his game to do well enough to get a highlight reel as long as some of the other players.

I understand...... but I do. Mahaney has 2 years. As Hurley said, he's gotten over the initial shock of practice, but that doesn't mean he's "game ready". Diarra is GAME READY! And I'm a fan of Diarra! That's it.
Mahaney is game ready. If Diarra is starting, which I still don't see happening, then Mahaney is also starting alongside him

Starting in college basketball doesn't mean as much as 'starting' in other sports. I know, we all know this, but it makes it completely possible for Hass to start.
Also, it's not like we give up big runs or fail to score when he's out there-it's the opposite. There is no liability to that dudes game.

Either way, we're in good shape. This staff has no loyalty when it comes to lineups.

I have my suspicions that the videos they are releasing this week are not random. Mahaney, McNeeley, Stewart, ?, Johnson. If Karaban gets highlights tomorrow...

I noticed they are not alphabetical. Something is definitely fishy.

Who Hurley puts in for the last five minutes is way more important than who Hurley puts in for the first five minutes.

A few years back Hurley started Sanogo and often those were the only minutes he played the whole game. But it was a great way to accelerate his development.

However, I expect Diarra to start because he understands the offense. In fact I expect most of the starters to be returners for the same reason. Also starting Diarra sends the message that you have to play defense if you want to see the floor.

Diarra
Liam
Stew
AK
Samson Johnson

It's entirely possible these five start.

It's also entirely possible a different five start.
We have too many players I want to start. I want Stew, AK, Liam, Diarra, Mahaney, Samson Johnson, and Reed to start.

I know they’re highlights, but all the handles he showed off make me think starting shooting guard.
He looks like a bigger version of Cam Spencer. He could absolutely play the 2 in a big lineup alongside Stewart and Karaban. The depth and versatility of this team, especially on offense, is going to make it hard for opponents to match up.

Unlike last year's team where we had our base lineup and fairly straightforward substitutions, and we just brutalized opponents by running different variations of the same actions, the coaches will be able to dial up many different looks (and may have to). An interesting challenge.

i'm talking about probability not possibility and mahaney is the most likely to start after AK
