Well guys our return to the Big East coupled with our resurgence on many fronts has me optimistic about the trajectory of the program. Our swagger is back and being felt across the tri-State area and across the nation.

Looking ahead to the Big East season our starting lineup to begin the season should be

STARTERS:Gaffney, Bouk, Andre, Polley, and Whaley

Bench: Cole, Akok, Carlton, Adams, Sanogo, Richie Springs

PS: The Bouk and Andre dynamic will be interesting to watch to see how their games complement each other. AJacks will need to play a Sticks/Daniels role on the boards and on defense early on. Polley’s return and emergence is important for us.

I can see this be the year where our team comes out hyper-focused out of the gates whooping ass and taking names.... i see everyone maxing their potential they can contribute this year. I think Hurley has already let them know plenty that this year could be special.
 
Itll be:

Cole
Bouk
Polley
Whaley
Carlton

Id go with: Andre coming in for Whaley if the offense is lagging.

Gaffney
Bouk
Polley
Whaley
Sanogo

That is the starting lineup when we actually get to see the floor.

You have Sool in the starting lineup over a Junior Gaffney at that point.

PS: Carlton didn't fit well with Whaley and the team. We played better and went on a run when his minutes were reduced in half at the end of the year. If Akok was healthy I would have played: Gaff, Bouk, Polley, Akok, Whaley.

If there is a vaccine by the new year I could see a conference only slate by mid January early February

Problem is if there is a vaccine approved in say December, how long does it take to distribute it and vaccinate a majority of the population? Then there would be a period to wait for existing cases to subside. I would think we're talking months.

They can push back the season to mid January or February and have March madness in April/May -nothing important college sports-wise going on during those months anyways so we do have time to buy if needed.
 
Cole
Bouk
Polley
Whaley
Carlton
 
It's really hard to find lineup data for college basketball so I can't speak to how they were specifically together on the court last year, and I know they ended the year starting together, but I'd be really surprised if Whaley and Carlton are on the floor at the same time a lot together this year. I know Whaley can stretch the floor somewhat as a mid-range jump shooter but 2017 UNC is the only elite team I can think of in the last 5 years who played two traditional big men together at the same time. It's just not a good combination for your offense.

jackson should be given the freedom to run wild

obviously with coaching

the covid nonsense is confusing

One thing I am highly confident in predicting is Jackson, nor any other player, will not have the freedom to run wild.

Next: No clue

Andre Jackson starts on Day 1 or plays starter minutes by season end. There’s enough talent there that you let him work through the freshman kinks like Dan Hurley did with Bouk.

Doubt he starts day 1, bouk couldn't even crack the lineup until polley went down. But hopefully shows enough to be playing that much like bouk did.
