Boston College 8's weekly suggestion of the 2015 starting lineup

[eepstein0]

this place is dumb, be like other acc programs one time

I'm all for the discussion but you're not adding any value.

Do some research or something about next year and add some of your own opinion.

Clifford and Diallo are not playing together for foul and awful offense reasons.

so if clifford and diallo are not playing together give me your starting 5. exactly. we have no power forwards have you even looked at our roster.

hopefully we get a 5th year transfer which i think we will and they can split time with diallo at the 4

Hanlan
Milon
Turner
Magerity
Diallo

If we get a transfer I reserve the right to change this. Milon was one point away from being a 4* player. He won 7a POY in Florida. He's really good.

They need 2 transfers at minimum to avoid another throw away year like last year.

A decent opposing PF scores 30 on Magerity in that lineup; or would, if he didn't foul out with 15 remaining in the first half.

Solution to let him score 28 on Clifford or 35 on an undersized 4?

Magarity used properly creates as many mismatches as he has forced on him. There aren't many scoring PFs in college basketball anymore, and those that do, do so more from the perimeter.

This. Clifford looked awful defensively and it's going to look even worse if you ask him to defend a quicker PF.

See the Pitt game at Pitt.

like john oates?

Sort of. But yes.

Magerity is a pick and pop player. He also is a threat on the perimeter who opens driving lanes for Hanlan.

He is also not good at defense, I'll acknowledge that.

[NJM89]

Hanlan
Milon
Turner
Magerity
Clifford (do wish it was Diallo but Jim will start the 5th year senior)

Hicks, Owens and Diallo round out the rotation (5th year transfer could change this). Christian likes to spread it out so Turner will be playing minutes at the 4 which sucks not having another big man. Also when is the deadline for Hanlan to decide?

If this is what we're rolling with this team will suck terribly again next year. .500 is the upside of that lineup.

Robinson will play.

I seriously hope the staff isn't counting on serious minutes from Hicks or Owens

[jbrooks58]

You know NOTHING about Hicks.

[eepstein0]

You know NOTHING about Hicks.

I thought Hicks had a ton of promise out of high school. Two knee surgeries later I have no clue what to expect. I don't think the staff can count in him being in the rotation. If you can get 5-10 minutes from him backing up Hanlan terrific, but I wouldn't count in any rotation.

[commavegarage]

if the staff is counting on hicks for any playing time at all they're doing it wrong.

getting on the floor would be a bonus. thats not to say he can't be good

[Boston College 8]

seniors:
dennis clifford

juniors:
garland owens

sophomores:
darryl hicks (RS)

freshman:
idrissa diallo (RS)
aj turner
matt milon
jerome robinson

by my count we have 7 scholarship players for next year. shawntrez would be big and thats 8. the question is, how many 5th years do we get? our record with this team looks like 10-22 right now, and even with like 2 5th years i don't see us being better than like 12 wins. what should we do just let all the young guys play this year?

[eepstein0]

They're going to backfill this thing with a few transfers to help support the kids.

I still never think you see Hicks in a BC uniform.

Also, looking at those upper classmen shows how awful Donahue was and why Jared Terrell was a pretty damaging miss.

[longdistanceeagle]

Terrell wasn't a miss. The qualifier for him was hiring his AAU coach; BC wouldn't and URI did. You won't see JC make deals to get kids.

id make deals to get jahlil okafor

[footer20]

Right now I'd imagine the rotation looks something along the line of:

PG: Robinson (20) Hicks (15) Perpligia (5)
SG: Milon (32) Robinson (5) Donahue (3)
SF: Turner (28) Owens (12)
PF: Diallo (17) Owens (17) Turner (6)
C: Clifford (27) Diallo (13)

If that we're the rotation you would see:
Turner (34)
Milon (32)
Diallo (30)
Owens (29)
Clifford (27)
Robinson (25)
Hicks (15)
Perpligia (5)
Donahue (3)

That team wouldn't even win 10 games.

It's going to be a long season. Shawntrez Davis is a MUST and two grad transfers (a point guard and a power forward) are a MUST.

Is there any chance Ty Graves could reclassify to 2015?

[Corporal Funishment]

AJ Turner played point guard back in his Michigan high school before he went to New Hampton. I mention that here because we might see it again this year.

[longdistanceeagle]

All of this conjecturing is actually quite funny. No one knows right now what the roster is going to look like, not even the coaches. They are recruiting all sorts of people, many of them having not even mentioned before anywhere on these pages. Wait 2 to 3 weeks and when the dust settles, then start playing with line-ups and record predictions. Be patient. These guys know what they are doing.

[twballgame9]

Yeah, there is no way the season starts with that roster. Liked Magarity though, but I suspect we will be okay with his replacement.

I love new posters with new sources of information. So long as he/she is not from Houston, of course.

This

you have your complaining - let bc8 have his imaginary line-ups on a weekly basis. after all, he has a whole thread dedicated to it. what do you have?

[Boston College 8]

we have essential 8 scholarship players for next season.

this is including shawntrez davis who we will know by the end of this week if he is going to be an eagle

and darryl hicks, who some one on this board says he isn't going to play? any info on that?

that leaves 5 open spots

[Boston College 8]

i think we add another freshman even if that makes 6?

then like 3 grad transfers? or do we let the freshman play more?

[BCHerbert]

Terrell wasn't a miss. The qualifier for him was hiring his AAU coach; BC wouldn't and URI did. You won't see JC make deals to get kids.

Ty Boswell was not hired by URI.

[Boston College 8]

is Idrissa Diallo a PF or C.

in our offense i realize the 4 was a shooter last year and diallo is probably more of a traditional 5. but do we tailor our offense to what we have and start him at the 4. i really dont know at this juncture.

i would start
PF Idrissa Diallo
C Dennis Clifford

there is possibilities with Shawntrez Davis (probably a 4) clifford is only a 5, and that leaves diallo, as either a 4 or a 5. what do you guys think.

since clifford is only at 80% that would make him a 4. hopefully he can heal to 90% by the start of the season to play as a 4.5

TRE doesn't do sports. this forum needs less TREs and more people who just want to know what the starting lineup with be in November!

This is a paradox. Can't have weak aliases without TREs

who is "we"

no one responded to your dopey question except for me. are you an army of one that wants to debate himself on who the starting 5 will be? if so, have at it...

by the way, asking me to stop posting here just made me set my quota to twice as many postings as i've been submitting up to this point.

lastly, fuck you kb2525. i do sports just fine. i think this homoerotic "who's in my top 5" that bc8 keeps throwing out isn't sports as much as a "guy's i'd like to do" list for him. but i can see you defending your fellow safety school class mate. it's kinda cute. maybe you two could go share a soda one night or something
