Well I don't think I'm going to be redshirting anyone after all. And after initially getting excited about my 85 OVR team roster strength, well that is 3rd worst in the ACC
It's going to be a looooong season.
Starting Lineup
PG Damien Forte - FR - 6'1" 183 lbs - 76 OVR
B Potential out of the #21 recruit in the land last year. 86 speed/82 quickness. 80 defense/83 steals. 81 hands/88 passing. 83 close/73 med/72 3/84 off the dribble. His passing and defense is really exciting. He can drive to the hoop a bit now but will not be a serious scoring threat for a season or two I imagine. With this potential though I'm hoping he turns into a defensive wizard.
SG JS Moye - JR - 6'4" 188 lbs - 81 OVR
90 speed/86 quickness. 82 defense/83 steals. 86 close/76 med/80 3/81 off the dribble. 95 hustle which is abnormally high. C+ potential, and just two years on the team as a JC player. He's the only thing close to a 3 point threat on the team I believe.
SF Kueth Ozier - FR - 6'5" 237 lbs - 78 OVR
Ozier might end up being the best player out of this class. B+ potential, he'll hit 80 OVR this year. 83 speed/82 quickness. 77 defense. All ok numbers for a SF. 78 close/80 med/65 3. Not an outside threat but should be a stud inside. 90 in traffic. 74 vert/75 str/84 hustle(C+/B+/B). He has very good rebound and post numbers for a SF. He's a bit small compared to a lot of SF's but he can score in the post against weaker forwards.
PF Otis Sneed - FR - 6'9" 220 lbs - 78 OVR
C potential. 80 orb/82 drb. 81 post off/81 post def. 91 close/91 in traffic. 72 vert/71 str/79 hustle. 75 mid range jumper so he can step out too. His rebound and post numbers for a freshman are quite good, and he looks to have the potential of an elite scorer.
C BB Locklier - SR - 6'11" 241 lbs - 76 OVR
Not my most talented center, but he's out there for a few reasons... he started last year, so he's going to be pissed all year if I bench him. He is my only good offensive rebounder and best post defender. 87 orb/80 drb. 73 post off/83 post def. 83 close/87 in traffic.
2nd String
PG Pearson McClurkin - FR - 5'10" 170 lbs - 70 OVR
My initial thought here was to redshirt him but if I do I'm playing a walkon rated worse than 70 at SF... might as well let him develop with some on court time. B+ potential. There isn't much now to be excited about. 78 defense, poor speed. 80 hands/79 passing. 80 close/71 med/73 3. 82 off the dribble, which is quite good. Really he'll likely get tossed aside if I recruit another backcourt player at any point. But B+ potential... I'll learn a bit more about development with him at this level.
PG Damion Alloway - FR - 6'0" 185 lbs - 73 OVR
Alloway has a lot to be excited about, big difference over McClurkin. A- potential first of all. 92 speed, though just 84 quickness. 80 defense is a much better starting point. 85 hands/84 passing. 83 close/67 med/77 3/84 off the dribble. An ok 3 point shooter who will develop into a good one hopefully.
SG Ike Barrett - FR - 6'4" 199 lbs - 78 OVR
There's a lot to be excited about with Barret too. 88 speed/87 quickness. 87 def/76 steals. 84 close/78 med/64 3. just 79 in traffic. C+ potential and the highest awareness of anyone on the roster... 75 off/74 def. I prefer 3 point shooters at SG, but Barrett hopefully will be a major threat to drive and looks like a speedster and defensive stud.
PF Brice Sanders - FR - 6'11" 228 lbs - 77 OVR
C+ potential. 80 orb/80 drb. 75 post off/82 post def. 76 blocks. 91 close/78 med/83 in traffic. Sanders will almost certainly start after Locklier graduates, and I hope to get decent production from him off the bench this year.
C Benjamin Slater - SO - 6'10" 230 lbs - 74 OVR
79 orb/79 drb. 87 blocks(A-, very very good). 76 post off/76 post def. 84 close/87 in traffic. Slater was my backup PF last year but was not used much at all. I don't expect I'll go to him a lot this year either.
The only guy that saw any time last year that is getting pushed aside now is walkon center Oscar Delic. He was a better scorer than Slater... he's 7 feet tall but his skills are terrible. If Slater is totally worthless I'll consider Delic.
