Somehow

The MU men's hoop question ran three times..don't ask me how.

Tony, Thanks for helping keep tabs on all MU athletics..Great job!!
What's with the damn planning board and the MAAC? Secondly, how does Calloway feel about the upcoming tournament? We have a shot at stealing a game or two?

First this news: Calloway told me today 6-10 Adam Dobriansky will be redshirted along with 6-9 Dutch Gaitley. I think it's the right move but MU could be a little thin up front, we'll see.

Planning board votes on the MAAC this month I have been told. I think it will pass. Only potential problem then (isn't there always?) is whether a WLB-ite files a lawsuit against the ruling. Can't see it (lawsuit) winning..just possibly delaying it some more. But it's getting closer.

MU winning two of three is a possibility but am trying to figure who they're gonna beat possibly besides Ark State.

How good is this (MU) team and how good will it be in a month or two as Youngblood and Crews become more acclamated to D1? That is the question. Don't think ""Rickie the Rookie" Crews will be a factor for a while (he will be down the road) but Jhamar "The Jet" Youngblood appears ready for take off.

So the rotation to start the season (considering injuries) is?:
Starting 5:
C-Corey Hallett
PF-Marques Alston
SF-Deki Delic
SG-Whitney Coleman
PG-Mike Shipman
------------------------------
Rotation Reserves:
6th man-C-John Bunch
PG/SG-Jhamar Youngblood
PF/SF-Rickie Crews
SG/SF-Alex Nunner
--------------------------------
End of the Bench:
C-Shawn Barlow
PG-TJ Tibbs
SG-Steve Bazzaz
Injured:
SG/SF-Yaniv Simpson

As I head down to Virginia Friday morning, I should be expecting to see a healthy dose of the starting 5 along with big minutes from Bunch and Youngblood? And also some lesser minutes of rotation time from Rickie the Rookie and Alex Nunner? Am I correct with my assumptions? If so, I think that's a nice gameplan. If Kenny decides to go play pro ball, Calloway can sign me up to be that end of the bench assistant!

You're right on. Don't know how much you'll see "Rickie the Rookie'" right away. They go about seven deep right now..but over the three games think you'll see more kids playing. Have to. As you state Simpson is out (shins, illness) I think he'll help eventually as a small forward/ shooting guard.

Are you the same person that did the game-by-game break down? You should change your nick name to Mystery Coach!

Tony,
Yes I am the same person that did the game by game breakdown and the review of the first Blue-White Scrimmage. I am a huge MU fan and will be down in Virginia and will come back with full coverage of the weekend's games either Monday afternoon or Sunday evening.
