All I want for Christmas is a Smart,Fearless,Super Athletic PG and a 7' 1" 265llb Center who can walk and chew gum at the same time and has a little King Kong in him. We pretty well set with 2's 3's and 4's.....No? With Tapley, Rahon and likely Jamaal leaving after the season, I'd say 2 is the top priority for 2013. Then the 1. Dakarai seems to be a 3, but could play 2, same goes for Shrigley. I'd like to see a guard who can shoot. |

Unless this 7'1" center is an amazing athlete and can run the floor, no thanks. Fisher's system is not dependent on gigantic big men, but 6'9" athletes that can run the floor and defend. See Thomas, Malcolm and White, Billy. I'm not one to 2nd guess Steve Fisher, it's just the N.C. State game last year left a bad taste in my mouth,those 2 big bodied guys taking it to us. I know we were shorthanded and probably a bit run down last year with all the minutes each of our top 7 had to play. I would love to have a big badass in there knocking it back in there face. |

Stephens or Johnson have to step up big in defense and rebounding this year for the Aztecs to have any kind of serious contention, IMO. Gotta find the new malcolm thomas. |

I hope he matures quickly, though. |

I hope he matures quickly, though. Yeah he has the potential to. You think he redshirts this year or gets minimal minutes? Him and Demetris Morant are both athletic freaks that could be the future of both our programs. Morant is probably redshirting for us though...which is good. |

I like Stephens, but with only one year under his belt, it's hard to tell right now if he is going to be the defensive force we will need at the 5, especially before Johnson is allowed on the floor. But then again it's also up in the air as to how ready Sky is for D1 basketball right now. Word is, Sky has been working hard in the offseason on putting on more speed an muscle. I think the coaching staff wants him to play this year and has a plan for him. And at 6'9" and with the amount of shots he's blocked, it's difficult to deny him that. We'll see, though. |

BOTTOM LINE....... Everyone plays!! We will always need bodies especially to stay super fresh, physical in the paint as possible, dominant, athletic, possible foul trouble....PLUS, SH*T does happen.
There is no room for redshirting anymore. Everyone gets a chance to play.
If one cannot cut it(and I am not singling out anyone here, just stating possibility), then we will go get another better four star next year who can. Ya'll must understand how "ON" it is now. No settling. Only studs are going to come here now. We are lock Top 25 and great shot at Top 10 and beyond...........
Please see the vision at hand and embrace it! Think confidence...................
