In response to AsiaSunset
Obviously he isn't going to play 5 guards, I was being facetious.
If AJ/Max are not a good 4/5 combo then how is adding Jarrod going to change that?
I agree w MrJ that Howard was a unique mix and we will have to see how Donahue employs the current talents.
Part of my notion that Donahue doesn't want 2 bigs on the floor stems from the fact he started Matt McDonald most of the first half of the year last year. Max looks like a much more productive player than Matt (certainly during that stretch) yet AJ/Max appeared few times on the floor together and for very short stretches.
Someone posted that a lack of depth kept Donahue from playing 2 bigs more often last year, which is plausible. If AJ/Max got into foul trouble, there weren't many other good options. Jarrod should change that. I hope so because some combination of 2 of AJ/Max/Jarrod all the time may be part of our best lineup.
I still think Betley will make the biggest jump and will become our best player pretty quickly.
So I see Frontcourt combo of AJ/Max/Jarrod (2 of the 3) along with Betley and then Goodman/Darnell/Woods/Jac kson battling for the guard spots along with Jelani once he is full go. That's 9 players without mentioning MacDonald, Tyler, Silpe, C Wood, Eddie Scott and S Jones (or 7 foot Jackson).
Going to be a competitive fall for the Quakers.
