Basketball in 3 days
As far as I know. Is this game expected to go as scheduled? I'm really excited to see this team. I think ado has a huge senior season, and Stewart has a big r-so season.

I don?t know what to expect W/L wise but I?m excited to see this team. There?s pieces there. Young pieces and gotta give Howland some credit, he filled in some holes with some experienced guys like Tolu Smith, Javian Davis, and the ULL transfer.
Devion Smith, Molinar, and DJ are going to bring excitement and explosiveness at the guard spots. Ado is what he is, he ain?t gonna score a ton but damn he?s so valuable on defense and rebounding.
I?m excited to see Cam Matthews and Keondre Montgomery too. I don?t know how we will fare record wise but I think we could be an exciting team to watch when things are going good. Just gonna be some lumps in there with all the youth.

I"m really looking forward to watching Molinar this year. He's a player.

Yes, I was hoping for: Smith, Molinar, Stewart, Tolu, and Ado. But Howland must be concerned about backcourt depth so he's going to bring Smith off the bench and start Matthews at the 3. Howland still is a little old-school, more traditional when it comes to positions.

Are Matthews and Montgomery expected to contribute this season?

I think Cam can contribute. He’s pretty college ready body wise just needs the experience. Montgomery might be a stretch to contribute but I just want to see him here and there just sprinkled in to see what he can do.

I may need to edit predicting big season from Stewart

Why? I think you misunderstood my post. Starting 5 will be: Molinar, Stewart, Matthews, Tolu, and Ado. Smith, Johnson, and JD will be first 3 off the bench. Stewart will probably be our leading scorer.

I'm pretty impressed that he may unseat Stewart. That says a lot to me

Nah he won’t unseat DJ. It’ll be Molinar at the 1, DJ at the 2, Cam at the 3, Tolu at the 4, and Ado at the 5.
Bring Devion, Javian Davis, and the ULL transfer off the bench for your 3 key reserves.
I personally think DJ is about to be a 17-18 PPG guy. He’s explosive and he’s really improved his 3PT shooting since getting here.

I did. Thanks

I'm gonna step out on the limb here. I'm going to say this team will under perform, much like the vast majority of teams we've had in recent years. I hate to be a downer but I really don't have much faith in CBH at this point.

Going out on a limb??
What are your expectations?
This will prob be the deepest the SEC has been in years . I think most publications and experts have us picked in the bottom half of the conference..
And with CBH we just finished the highest we have ever finished in the SEC with the 14 team format ..

I think most here would agree w/me that Howland's teams by in large have under performed and yet we've had talented teams. We just had two guys picked in the draft and yet last years team managed to finish 5th in the SEC and was on the NCAA bubble and that was with 4 starters back. If your measure of success is making the NIT and getting knocked out by Liberty in the 1st round of the tourney then I'm sure you're happy.

4th.. highest finish ever with the current format
and we finished ahead of Bama , Vandy , UGA ( number one overall pick) , Florida, who all had first round picks ..
Again I don’t really understand what some of you people want with our basketball program. He was given the keys to absolute dog shit when he was hired.
there has been limited off the court bullshit, we are starting for the first time ever to put players in the league which will only lead to better recruiting , and Its not like we have a storied basketball history... we haven’t made it past the second round since 1996...
And with that measuring stick, you just described the Rick Stands years to a T.. and everyone seems to think those were the glory years..
Haven’t even played game one yet and The Howland Sucks crowd is already getting warmed up...

I just glanced at our roster and noticed that it was all freshmen and sophomores and Ado. I'll adjust my expectations accordingly.

I'm gonna commend you for continuing to engage the haters, but I lost my sense of humor with them some time ago.
