zipfan 81 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 This was in Buchtelite article quoted from Dambrot:"There are still a lot of questions about who is going to play behind who," Dambrot said. "This team is a little unsettled. We have a lot of growing to do to be an upper-echelon team." Dambrot said Akron is slowly developing a rotation. Last season, then-senior reserves Rob Preston and Darryl Peterson were integral players. "To me, the biggest issues we have are the fourth post man and the backup (small forward)," Dambrot said. "We were more settled last year." What do you think the answer is? What do you think rotation will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziptrumpet87 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 from what I've seen so far, I think McKnight will be seeing more PT than Rybek.I also think Milum is finally starting to come along since the NIT games and will see some productive time.

Captain Kangaroo Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 from what I've seen so far, I think McKnight will be seeing more PT than Rybek.I also think Milum is finally starting to come along since the NIT games and will see some productive time. I think Milum will make up for the loss of Preston's shot blocking. Mc Knight will cover for Futch's inside presence, and will likely shoot mant fewer 3's. I think the wild card for this team is the improvement of Linhart and the emergence of Conyers. Conyers can make up for the lost offense in Preston and Peterson, and then some...IF he fulfills KD's prophecy.I like this team's linup better than last season's. Preston was a "tweener"..a big man that played more like a "3." Futch was an enigma...a big man that too often wanted to be a "2" and who attracted fouls like K.e.n.t cheerleaders attract flies. And Peterson was either hurt, or in the doghouse too often. McKnight is a solid MAC "4" who doesn't seem to have any illusions of leading the MAC in 3's. Milum also knows his role, and plays D like a 7-footer. I think KD is just trying to motivate the guys. I think we're close to being set with our 9-man rotation.

Blue & Gold Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 from what I've seen so far, I think McKnight will be seeing more PT than Rybek. I think that I would have a good chance of seeing more PT than Rybeck!!!I was only able to stay for the first half of the Tiffin game, but I noticed 2 things:1. McKnight and Rome look like identical twins.2. I hate to say this, but Conyers didn't seem to offer much. Is this simply a learning / feeling out process for him? Or is he overrated?
