After watching the practice video Brad posted this morning, and having had the opportunity to see the new guys practice last week, have a question for the board.
In 2012, Tony took us to the NCAA tournament. Injuries derailed that season, but prior to that, we were rolling along at a pretty good clip. Before the injuries, we had a solid 7 man rotation. PG - Jontel, SG - Sammy, C - Sene, SF - Harris, PF - Mike Scott. Off the bench, Akil & Malcolm. After Sene & Malcolm got hurt, Atkins & Jesperson played more. Point being though, for that season we basically operated with a 7 man rotation, and that was an NCAA tournament team.
If we split this year's roster (your choice on most even way to split them), and put 7 scholarship guys on one team, 6 plus either Jones or Bartley on the other side...could both rosters beat the 2012 tournament team? When analyzing, remember Malcolm was a FR in 2012...not a 5th year SR All-American. Joe was a SO, not All-ACC. Akil hadn't broken out yet.
I think both teams that we could divide the current roster into COULD beat the 2012 edition, even before the injuries.
