Secret Scrimmage #1
Happened over the weekend vs Hampton. I am told GW played well after an initial slow start (first quarter) and won by a lot (think more than 30). My understanding is that the freshmen generally played well (one in particular - Trey Autry) and that James and Max were steady. Of the transfers, sounds like Garrett and Benny did some good things on both ends. Babatunde rebounded and rim protected. I think Darren and Antoine may have sat it out with injuries (don't believe they are serious). Didn't hear too much about anyone else.

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
Thanks for sharing! This is the kind of news that I’ve been aching to here since the season ended last year.
Can’t wait for the season to start!

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
Best post since last season!
Autry apparently really played well in Kenner League. Possible that he’s going way overlooked heading into the season.

Per Trilly Donovan, VCU beat USC 79-77 on a Max Shulga buzzer beater in their not so secret scrimmage. Posting since we play both teams.

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
There was an open practice today but only for former players. Anyone know how that went?

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
Next secret scrimmage is at Drexel, I believe . There was an open practice for GW donors this weekend; my summary comment is we have a lot of talented players. Adrian Autry stood out; JB and Max put on a scoring show. Garret Johnson played well until he had a minor injury. Both Benny Shroeder and Darin Buchanan sat out due but should be ready this weekend. Anyone who picks this team to be 11th or 13th in the A-10 is out of their minds.

Any prediction on the starting 5?

I'll make mine ...
JB
Max
Trey
Garrett
Babatunde
first four subs
Buchanan
Hutchinson
Schroeder
Smith
That's the rotation I think we will see. CC will only play 8-9 regularly.
Think Harvey, Jones and Zam get spot minutes right now.

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
My prediction is:
JB
Max
Stretch
Benny (pending health)
Garrett
I would have thought Jacoi over Garrett a few months back but now believe that CC wants more shooting Not to mention Jon Rothstein, I believe, who predicted Garrett as a starter.
Have to believe that Trey, Jacoi, Antoine, and Darren (pending health) are all firmly in the rotation. I am guessing that Christian will be a more situational sub on defense. Zam may or may not be ready but may be needed to spell Stretch if the team is too vulnerable playing a smaller lineup. Am hoping to see Luke Cronin get some minutes. His size and skill set works well for this team but as a preferred walk-on, there are only so many minutes to divide.

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
Hadn't seen yours before posting mine Rising. Our only difference is trey vs. Benny in the starting lineup. We seem to be in agreement on the 9 man rotation as a whole.

May depend on who we are playing. I can see CC changing lineups early as a lot of guys are close and he tries to figure out who is playing well and playing well together.
I am not sure anything is a lock at the moment other than JB and Max.

I'd say Stretch is a lock with them to start at least

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
I know Kenner means nothing, but has Harvey shown anything in the scrimmage or practice? I could see him getting minutes if we need size. Remember last year with Dean hurt we actually got some minutes from Harvey before he went down.

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
Starting 5 to start season: I see coach going with more of a veteran starting 5 as the others are eased into the rotation.
Bishop
Edwards
Akingbola
Schroder
Smith.
Off the bench (assuming a 9 man rotation)
Autry
Harvey
Buchanan
Johnson (depending on health), otherwise Weluche-Ume

Re: Secret Scrimmage #1
LSF, do you really think Hutchinson is not going to be in the rotation? I find that hard to believe.
