Well personally, I think talking about next year in the middle of this season is just idiotic, but after reading I couldn't help myself but to throw in my thoughts.One thing I can agree with is the idea that replacing Wood will be tough, just for the fact that we have no real five man behind him who can score. Sure Bardo comes in and gives some good minutes, but he's more of a defensive player. Maybe red-shirted Steve Sweich can come in and fill them shoes, but thats a lot to ask for out of a freshman.Now, I think Chris McKnight got two more strong seasons left in front of him. He came and shot well against Can't which was great to see in my eyes. I think Chris is really going to step it up and become a scoring threat for the Zips. Chris is more of a 4 man then a five as we know. Well talking about Chris, I really like what I've seen out of Brett McKnight. He's big like a post man but he shoots like a guard. I think next year Brett can really give us some solid minutes off the bench. What can't I say about Nate Linhart? The kid does it all out there. Theres nothing else for me to say because I know he'll step it up even more next season.Jimmy Conyers has also showed a lot of promise this year. On top of being an excellent defender, the kid can really shoot, when he actually decides he wants to. Now with the guard positions. At this point in the season it seems fairly obvious that next year the starters should be McNees and Roberts. Both of them have gave us great minutes. What I don't understand at all that you guys have said, is the idea that McNees would be the 2 and not run the point? Have you guys watched games this season? Every time McNees is in the game, he's dribbling the ball down the court. No matter if he's in there with Dials, Middleton or Roberts, McNees brings the ball up. I don't see that changing. Roberts really surprised me this season and I think next year him and McNees will be fine.So here is my line up next season....1- McNees2- Roberts3- Linhart4- Conyers5- Chris McKnightOff the Bench You got returning... Brett McKnightBardoThen you know you are going to have some guys step up who are freshman or transfers, We will just have to see who they are. More then likely Stewart and Sweich will be seeing minutes.As we know, Coach D subs a good amount so does it really really matter who starts? I think this five has the most experience and would deserve to start. But I think the Zips will be fine next year, I'm not worried.
