I don't get it, these are their profiles. Nothing new.

Been hearing from several sources that WB has been killing it in practice. And of course kadeem is pretty good

Under the profiles are their stats for the 2015-2016 season. Thought it would be helpful to look at it.

I'd go with Kadeem and WB only because they will be older third year sophomores. If I had to pick one of the other three guys I'd take Fisher. Big men take more time (6'8 and over) to develop in the MAAC. I'm not saying he'll be on their level but check out what Rossiter, Anosike and Bisping - to name a few - did as frosh.

Hard to defend against picking a two for one option, but Kadeem came in strong (I see him as a Nico clone) so I'm not sure he belongs in this mix. WB is a question mark given that only very few have seen him on the practice floor so a real measure of where he is now is difficult at best. Kenny, on the other hand is both battle tested and at the start of next season, only a year away from taking the reins - he should combine both of those advantages into a huge upside motivation and concentrate during the offseason to shore up the weaknesses and fertilize the onions so open shots become a reality. My vote went to Kenny! Taking nothing away from Kinnon - his improvement (read that more minutes) will only be gained by getting the confidence of our HC - that's a crap shoot given the fact (that's for olddave) that Kinnon didn't get a lot of second half minutes when he really could have helped. Just my opinion (but based on some facts Dave!).

I also selected wormly as the most official choice. Wb and smithen will be rusty and more likely to make a better sophomore to junior jump

Happen to agree regarding Larose, he needs more playing time, but he also needs to be less timid. His main liability, which he can work on is speed and lateral movement in regards to defense. There is no doubt that he has a high basketball IQ, moves well without the ball, blocks out, rebounds ( which we could have used against MH)

Btw still waiting for you apologizes regarding sobriety statement. O am sure you stated it in the heat of the moment, hate to see you judged by others here by such a careless comment.

Wasn't said in the heat of the moment - your rambling post with Patsos like incomplete sentences and numerous misspellings coupled with a previous comment (I believe you made it - if not I apologize for attributing it to you) you made to GB about preferring Dewars over her suggested libations. In any event, I wasn't implying you were sober - if you think I was saying that I apologize!

Lets put it to rest agree to disagree, and we do agree on most. Be well.

I vote for "all the above". Since that's an option I couldn't vote, but they're all going to be much improved.

Kadeem and Kenny would be my guess. I have hopes for WB because he's so athletic. I just hope he got tougher.

Fisher needs so much work. His post presence / skills are lacking in all areas you would want in a big. Doesn't jump well, is slow of foot and his post moves are mechanical. Not giving up hope but he needs a big man camp bad.

Fisher was a 3 star recruit, I just don't see it.

You will. You're just not going to see a big man come in and be a stud right away at this level. If you go back and read posts about OD, Rossiter, and Bisping, you'll find few thought they'd amount to much either after their freshman seasons. On that note, I'm anticipating a big jump from Brandwijk next season based on what I'm hearing.
