So if you're O'Mara or Jones what are you thinking right now? Honestly not trying to pooh, pooh this. Looks like a solid addition....just don't know where he gets his minutes.

What are the other pressing issues that you think they need to take care of?
PG:
Q
Scruggs
JP (if needed)
Marshall and Harden could bring the ball up the floor if they are desperate
G/Wing:
JP
Tre (if he stays)
Gates
Harden
Marshall
Ridder
C/Forward
T Jones
O'Mara
K Jones
Kanter
Ernst
That looks like a very solid Roster. Yes there are 5 freshman but these 3 of them can have a impact right away. I would like to see Mack run a lineup of Scruggs, Harden, Marshall, Ridder and Jones in one of the really early OOC games. If these guys are as good as everyone is saying Mack could go Calipari style and just do line changes instead of substitutions.

They could play a lot faster. With 3 or 4 bigs they could run up and down the court and just sub them out as they get winded. Plus Kanter is a threat all over the offensive end. 6'10, has good inside moves, a a nice mid range shot and can knock down the 3. The other 3 bigs are mainly back to the basket type guys.

He was used very little to start the season but was being played as much as 30 minutes a game in conference play.
He is really slow up and down the court and in the Horizon, he rarely had a guy who he could guard. There are just 5 guys in the Horizon who are his size or taller and most didn't log a ton of minutes.
Teams like NKU played small ball and a lot of the other teams in the league did as well. You can only really play him when you have a true big for him to guard, other wise he would be a defensive nightmare (like his brother).
Xavier now has 5 bigs (Jones, Ernest, Kanter, Omara, K. Jones). Thats a lot of bigs, maybe K.Jones ends up not coming to X because of the Academic issues.
