    Default 2017-2018 Depth Chart

    Although I know we are in the middle of a football season that's been going wonderfully (minus the injuries), we are less than a month away from the exhibition game and just over a month away from the NDSU Basketball season opener. My question for all who have much more inside knowledge than myself is how this depth chart and rotation might look this year. Here's what I've somewhat gathered just from everything I've read about the guys coming in and our returning players:

    PG - Hunter/Van Dulm
    SG - P Miller/Samuelson
    SF - Ward/Quayle
    PF - AJ/Geu
    C - D Miller/Eliason

    Including Quayle is more of just a 2 deep thing as I actually think Geu will backup both AJ & Tyson and that's also under the assumption all of the true freshman redshirt. My main question is if anybody has seen these guys practice and if a guy like Eady is going to be playing over one of the transfers or if a guy like Kreuser is going to play this year to give us an extra big in the rotation. It's not too often you see JC guys come in and redshirt and with Tyson able to play the 2 and Geu able to play the 3 & 4 we have pretty solid rotations in the 2-4 spots. I'm just curious how a few of these guys are going to fit in. I think if we wanted our best 5 players on the floor it'd be Miller, Ward, Geu, AJ, Miller but I don't think we want to waste Paul's energy bringing the ball up the court. Thoughts/comments?

    P. Miller will play a fair amount of PG I bet. I’d love to see a guy like Rocky be able to come in and bang down low as a true freshman. Hopefully we will see a lot of that!

    We need strong play inside now since Dex is gone. Dylan or Spencer toughen up this off season? Excited for hoops. We shit the bed last half of last year , not doing it this year. We are going dancing.

    Isn't Rocky on a 4 for 5 type scholarship deal? I'd think that would mean he redshirts this year.

    I agree that their best lineup is with Paul Miller at PG. Slide Ward and AJ up a spot and put Geu in at PF. I'm really hoping Geu or Dylan Miller step their games up. Without that the loss of Dex in the post is going to be a killer.

    I certainly hope Hunter, Miller, AJ, Geu and Miller are there to start, with Ward as the 6th man. AJ isn't a 4, and Geu needs that role.

    Tyson Ward off the bench? This is ludicrous and it better not happen!

    Geu isn't any more of a 4 than AJ is, the only true 4 we really have on this team will be Rocky but he is on a 4 for 5 deal so that likely means he will indeed redshirt this season.

    Tyson off the bench is ludicrous indeed, other than Paul he's the best player on this team. I think it's between Hunter and Geu for the 5th starting spot, just depends how the coaching staff handles the PG situation.

    Don't be surprised if Paul Miller brings the ball up the court often and handles that pressure. Need Deng Geu to take the next step this season. Needs to be productive and on the court a lot. Not to sure on the freshman and if any will have a role this season. I think Rocky would be most likely to see the court of the group.

    Looking forward to the season, and how this group comes together.

    No Dex is going to hurt A LOT but the absence of Carlin Dupree is going to be just as noticeable IMO. I think you need to constantly rotate the little guys in like Hunter and Samuelson, there is zero quickness on the court otherwise...
