Guy, judging by your 'astute' reply, I think you missed my point. On paper we might be deep at the 4-5, but if two of our big guys are injured, and one is inexperienced we are not that deep. We'll need someone to back up NJJ, if he gets into foul trouble. Please name me a team outside of the top 25 that can sustain the loss of 2 key big men. You're worrying about something that would be a problem for about 330 of the 358 D1 teams. Can't go through life like that!

WE ARE DEEP!!!! 59 WILL RUIN A WET DREAM IF HE COULD OK, I should have read your reply before I replied. I am far more concerned about our backcourt depth than our frontcourt depth. After Joiner/Jolly/Myers, we're turning to either a freshman (Clayton or Duach) or we're going bigger with Berrick/Slaz at the 2/3 (and I would guess the latter).

The whole team can play and everyone will play. Duach and Wildy have the athleticism to play in the MAAC right away. Clayton has the IQ and we saw flashes in Greece agaisnt grown men. While James is lacking in speed, footwork, athleticism he has the size to be capable. Cashaw can defend, but is limited offensively, no idea what we have in Brown, and Parker Weiss I would have to think is battling for 7-10 mins a night against the freshman. Have to believe this team will go 10 deep the whole season. Especially if we foul like we did last year!

The last thing we on this board have to worry about is how Pitino will distribute playing time, I think we can trust his judgement when it comes to that.

Actually I think I’ve been a lot better the last couple of years. One thing I have come to believe is you never have enough players, there are always going to be injuries, transfers, disappointments, etc. Playing time ends up working itself out and the rotation will become tight. Pitino may want to play 10+ players but that is difficult at this level, Iona’s top 7 -8 players seem to be at another level than the rest of the team, going to be hard for the next 7 or so to get many minutes except for those who are needed to replace the top group.

That was from earlier this spring/summer. Nothing official happening as far as I know.

Pitino also said the next year we are in the Battle for Atlantis. Wonder if true or hyperbole.
