If we did get him, I'm assuming he would play the three and we would start Kegler at the stretch four. That would allow Q to move up to the SG position and have four legit three point shooters on the court with Herard in the middle. Our starting five would be:
PG Ready/Peters
SG Q/Wright/Carter
SF White/Stapleton
PF Kegler/Holman/Datcher
C Herard/Ado
This is an NCAA tournament team. What am I missing? If we got White to replace Newman, we would come out way ahead IMO.
If Kegler can play stretch 4 I don't see a problem with it. I don't really know about him starting in front of Holman even though Kegler is probably the better player but I like the line up. I know IYOK said Ziegler reached out to White but does anyone know anymore on that situation? I would love to add this kid that would be big time for this team.
Has White given any indication on what teams he is giving serious consideration to?Quote:

All around better for everybody.Quote:

I know there are some other basketball insiders on this board as well. Maybe they can spread the info on what they have from the situation. If there is mutual interest between us and him I think Howland snags him.Quote:

Not until SEC season starts but if we got White that would provide us a stop gap this year to not have to rush him back.Quote:

I have no info but I just liked him down the stretch. You could tell when his conditioning got to him. He also needed to get bigger to bang down low.
