What is the starting lineup looking like this year? Did Chandler enroll?

AJ
Marcus
Sykes
CLanton
Dwight McCombs

not sure about Chandler's status.

 

[UCF83]

Chandle does not have the grades to enroll yet

It's more important who gets the minutes. Diakite started, but Sykes had 5 more mpg. Sometimes starting is an ego thing that coaches massage...

True...I can see Gaynor starting at the 3...with Sykes coming off the bench to relieve Rompza and/or Gaynor...with the Freshmen getting mins also at the #2 and #3 spots in relief.
Sykes is that energy spark plug a team needs coming into the game at the 5 min mark (just before or after first tv timeout) as he is a change of pace player some teams will have problems adjusting too.

What are we gonna do this year and next year about height? We have none. Jones, Reed and Graham probably come in next year but are we looking at any centers?

Well...this year...you have to use what you have.

Yes, UCF is looking at centers again for next year, especially since Chandlers final hours involving the NCAA clearinghouse should be officially known soon (i.e. if he still isn't eligible, UCF jumps into 3rd gear for top center on recruiting trail for next year, with possible JUCO Center as a possible target to help out immediately if top HS center can't be found).

While the C position is coveted, it's also becoming less relevant in today's high-tempo game until you hit the Sweet 16. If McCombs, Crittle and Gaynor can be fundamental and active in the post we can succeed.
