In response to Jeff2sf
Your predicted best Penn starting lineup this year:
Foreman
Goodman
Betley
Jones
Brodeur
Your statement about Woods:
Antonio Woods was a highly mediocre basketball player. Maybe he'll get better. I hope he does. There's very little in his past to support that.
There is no way we are net better on D with Matt Howard out. Antonio is not that good.
Your statement about Rothschild:
No, sorry, PennFan, it's been proven that Max Rothschild's previous play was mediocre FROM AN EFFICIENCY POV. More minutes doesn't solve that.
This is what I said before the season started:
Having a veteran backcourt of Woods and Foreman might be a critical advantage in the Ivy race. We haven't had 2 guards with real on the ball skills since Toole-Begley and neither of them was a classic PG who could break down defenses. Rosen played with Belcore, certainly not a guy who could penetrate, same with Ibby (Grandieri?). Even Jordan played with Langel--a great combo but not 2 guards who could break down defenses. So this could be our most difficult to defend backcourt since Allen/Maloney. Betley then becomes critical for scoring off the pass, and I think he's up to that task. This works especially if those guys put such pressure on the ball on defense that their height cannot be used against them.
I like it.
I can go on and on. The problem is that you are all over the place once your initial view is disproven.
