Topic: I've been thinking about this basketball season...

and the potential of this up coming team is thru the roof. Like i have already said the 2 keys will be getting Tinnon back and Canty being as good as advertised. If those 2 things happen then WOW. Let's break it down.
     first the front court will be WAY better than they were last year. Herrion said Spikes is now 100% and was playing last year at about 50%. Goff's knee should be OK by then and should be much improved. Tinnon is gonna be a beast, make no mistake about it. He got his feet wet in D1 ball last year. And a year in the weight room and i think he will be even better this year (scary). And Herrion said what i have been saying all along. Mbao is gonna be a heck of a player. He is improving tremendously day by day. He never played much ball and you can't teach the athletisism he has at 7'2". The guy moves and runs unreal for that size and he has 2 more years to play. Now you have Canty that is supposed to be the real deal and will be a much bigger PG than Pitts. And i really think Kane grew up a lot the last month of last year and i really think he "gets it" now. And Boykins is going to be a great player here at Marshall. He was tearing it up against the starters the last month of the season before he hurt his ankle. He is a BIG strong 2 guard (built like a LB). Then you have Scarver and Pittman that are both bigtime impact players. Scarver can flat out shoot it and score. And Pittman can really score from anywhere and is 6'8" and athletic. And I Williams is a big 6-7 kid that can really shoot the 3 and handles it well enough to play the PG spot if needed. Manning is another kid that is going to be very good and was up for Mr Kentucky Basketball. I thought we had depth last year but this we are going to be loaded with talent and depth. Staying healthy, meshing and buying into your role 100% will be the keys. IF they do that, this team can be scary good. Way more talent and depth that last years team.
      I don't know how you could pick a starting 5 but i will.   Canty_Kane_Scarver_Tinnon_Spikes (because he is now healthy). First 4 off the bench? Man!!!! Pittman_Goff_Boykins_Mbao and Williams (i have to go with 5 not 4). And if Taylor gets eligible Whew!!!!
