Just a month to tip-off

**Benny** · 10-04-2009, 02:16 PM

Though I feel good about the direction of our football program, the State fan in me is always ready for Basketball season. The SEC is going to be much, much stronger this year but we ain't scared. Watch these highlights.. especially from Game 1..

YouTube - Mississippi State 2009 SEC Tourney Champs

Who's in your rotation?

1: Dee Bost
2: Barry Stewart
3: Ravern Johnson
4: Kodi Augustus
5: Jarvis Varnado

with
Turner/Stewart backing up Bost
Turner/Benock backing up Stewart
Romero Osby coming in at 3 and 4
Elgin Bailey (if healthy) coming into the post
John Riek (once eligible) spotting Jarvis

We're going to be deep once again and very good defensively. We're also going to scorch your nets from beyond the arc all season just like last year.

i like your lineup......i find myself including augustus, but i think i do it just to appease him. osby arguably has more talent, but im cool with whatever stans wants to do. we are so deep, there wont be much drop off between our starters and backups, so im sure we can make everybody happy. barry has the least amount of talent imo, but he seems to always get his, even if its a bit sloppy or if he is overmatched. turner has alot of heart and hustle so i think we are very even keeled overall.

i like the line up but i dont think osby has more talent than augustus...kodi is better on offense and osby plays better defense...bailey might not play all year from what i have heard...reik will be a good sub for varnado....

i doubt we go back to the 4 guard line up even though i think phil turner should get a ton of PT, i love watching him play...he should come in for johnson and stewart often...

yeah with or without snydney, if we can play to how we are capable and not screw up at the beginning of the season like we usually do then we could have a special season...

i think we need to set the tempo early and really assert ourself in the first 10-15 games. we need to build some confidence. i would like to go with the 3 guard myself. we need some boards and augustus and osby can help with that.

phil turner was the heart and soul of the team last year and i dont see that changing...he is the man...but just not as all around talented as the starting 5 even though i would make a push for him to play of ravern some...ravern gets lazy as crap on defense and never makes his own shot...
GO DAWGS!!!
