What is your favorite potential Lineup?

[Mr. French]

Favorite?

Cole, Bouk, Jackson, Akok and Whaley
or Cole, Gaffney, Bouk, Jackson and Akok - small but dangerous.

I like me some guards.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I love the flexibility of this team and can't wait to see the combinations Hurley can come up with.

How about the “pace-and-space” lineup?

Whaley at 5.
Polley at the 4 to open up space for bucket getters
Martin at the 3, one of the bucket getters and great rebounder.
Bouknight at the 2, the star.
Gaffney at the 1. Length at PG, and the top A/TO guy on the team. Doesn’t need the ball and can distribute to the other 3 shooters.

I really don't like Martin at the 3. I don't know if he can get past a defender off the dribble and I still want to see his 3 more consistently. I see Martin as a 4 with the rest of the lineup options.

odd because martin was the starting SF at URI, played most of his minutes there, and shot 43% from 3 past season

 

[husky429]

odd because martin primarily played SF at URI and shot 43% from 3 past season

He shot 32% from 3 last year.

 

[bendm]

He shot 32% from 3 last year.

my b was looking at his FG%. but the other 2 points stand

Any insiders actually know the lineup? DMs are open if you don't want to share publicly.

but please do share publicly...it should not require top secret security clearance to know the starters 3 days before tip off. if anyone on here knows than the players know too

I'm thinking 3's/SF in BE are a different level athlete than A-10.

While I think Martin will play some 3, I think a large majority of his minutes come at the 4 this season.

He's a wing. He'll play some time at the 2 this year, most likely.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Cole
Bouk
Jackson
Whalley
Akok
That would be fun and could score a lot of points if Jackson can hit open shots.

 

[auror]

Bouk
Polley
Akok
Whaley
Sanogo

A meme lineup that could actually work.

URI was rated just as good of a team as UConn last year, maybe even slightly better.

but i thought that about martin too before hurley said polley was going to be important as the stretch 4. so if polley (hurley said so), akok (obviously), whaley (certainly but hopefully not too much), and springs (garbage time) are all playing PF then that has to mean martin gets most of his PT at SF.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Gaff
Bouk
Polley
Akok
Carlton

This allows for a Calhounesque hook for literally any of them.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Never thought I'd ever ponder this, but are we too deep this year?

 

[JB75]

Cole, bouk, Jackson , Whalley , sanogo

 

[Huskybass]

Cole, Bouk, Martin, Akok, Whaley

 

[Yankees32123]

Gaffney
Bouknight
Martin
Jackson
Akok

Athletes.

 

[Get a Job]

Akok
Sanogo
Carlton
Whaley
Brown

Don't sleep on Springs.

 

[HooperScooper]

Things will naturally sort themselves out. It always does.

 

[UconnU]

Lineup has been mentioned a bunch but Cole, Bouk, Jackson, Martin, Whaley is a really fun athletic lineup. I also like the rebounding heavy line with Martin, Whaley, Sanogo on the court together.

 

[auror]

I also like the rebounding heavy line with Martin, Whaley, Sanogo on the court together.

I think this will be our best lineup (with either of the PG+Bouk) against midmajor type teams where spacing isn't as important and power/athleticism can win alone.

 

[CL82]

Never thought I'd ever ponder this, but are we too deep this year?

No, but that question is two days before game day.

 

[Huskybass]

As my Business Law Professor at UConn would say "The Judge will know".

 

[StllH8L8ner]

1. Cole, Gaffney, Bouk, Jackson, Whaley
1a. Any lineup without Carlton playing

Agreed...with one small change to 1a.

 

[AuRevoirAAC]

This lineup is insane to think about, especially knowing the reinforcements we have on the bench:
PG - Jalen Gaffney
SG - James Bouknight
SF - Andre Jackson
PF - Akok Akok
C - Adama Sanogo

 

[gtcam]

Has the roster changed since the last time we were asked by another of these "What's your Lineup" games?

Mine is
KEA - pt guard
RHam - SG
RAllen - small forward
Omeka - power forward
Toby Kimball - center

 

[444JR]

I want to see a 5-minute, energy infused, stretch of:

Gaffney
Bouknight
Jackson
Martin
Healthy Akok

But I cannot wait to see Whaley, Sanogo, Polley, and General Cole!

I also think Springs will be a game time performer when given the minutes against weaker teams.

Josh will be ready to perform during his final season and I imagine Javonte is enjoying the biggest test of his young career day in and out against our talented bigs.

So hyped for this team!

No love for BAdams?

Don't sleep on Springs.

Springs isn't going to start this year unless he has made two years worth of improvement in the last 8 weeks.

i feel like THIS Andre is gonna deliver
