That said my guess is that Clarke takes up the slack for Brown. My guess on the minutes

1-Craw 30 - Clarke 10
2-Clake 20 - Kraus 20
3-Sealey 20 - Orr/Parker/Henderson/Erger 20
4-Calhoun 30 - Sealey 10
5-Black 25 - Holmes 15
Globe,

Clarke and Sealey need to be on the floor 25-35 minutes per game next year. If necessary, Clarke or Crawford may need to move to the off-guard.

It's so hard to say what Holmes and Parker will give us next year. They both might be in the regular rotation immediately. Rorie is a giant question mark. Any reports or rumors on how he's doing and if he's content?

We have an open schollie. We need to use it on an extremely athletic wing player aroung 6-3 or 6-4. A Carlton Guyton type would fill the bill.
According to what he wrote, Clarke and Sealey will both get 30 minutes each.
ROLL ALONG!!!

Left to his own devices, Orr will start Kraus and Crawford because they're seniors....we must stop this from occuring. We must make a change.

100% agree. Erger may get 20 minutes at SF too :)

I have no problem with Crawford starting. He has played pretty well for about 8 games and we have been in or won all of them.

I should have included Rorie there as well and you are right about Parker or Holmes. My guess is that Holmes will be able to take on 15 minutes just by being an athletic big. Rorie can add some as well.

Parker to me is the bigger wild card. With Holmes we atleast know he has great size, can block shots and take up space and must have atleast some offensive game. You can't put up the numbers he has and be a stiff. Parker could be anywhere from starting at SF to a redshirt year (Can you take a redshirt after prep school?).

If Holmes scoring translates it would be tough to keep him off the court. Thats clearly a big if because if he is blocking 10+ shots in some games my guess is that he is playing some scrubs. But lets say it does. Could things look like this?

1-Craw 30 - Clarke 10
2-Clake 20 - Kraus 20
3-Calhoun 20 - Sealey 20
4-Holmes 15 - Calhoun 15 - Sealey 10
5-Black 25 - Holmes 10 - Rorie 5

In regards to what we need for next year I would say we are good at the 6-3 wing guys and should go after a three point shooter who can run the point. I think Clarke has a ton of potential but his ball handling has been choppy.

FWIW Holmes was the player of the year in his conference.

Flipper, I don't know how we can stop it short of being subversive. ;) Orr's our man thru 2013-14 unless BGSU the cash.
