R.J. Young predicts starting lineup

[BigTime]

Cousins, Hornbeak, Pledger, M'Baye and Osby.

Per his twitter. He just got hired on by SoonerScoop.com and will beef up their bball coverage.

Great hire by SoonerScoop.

He is probably right. There hasn't been any movement at all this last few days on how kriger has been rotating his players through drills and controlled scrimmages. As a matter of fact, he was still platooning them as a group. We might see that 5 in 5 off again.

Either that or he read the game notes on SoonerSports.com

Or, he assumed last week's starting lineup would be repeated. Pretty sound reasoning I would think.

Kruger settled on the starting five for the Washburn game following several weeks of practices and two scrimmages. Why change it after only one trial run? My guess is he went back to the drawing board, corrected the mistakes he saw in practice, and he'll give that same group at least one more try (maybe two or three or four) before making any adjustments.

Seems to be the strongest second team line-up we've had in years with experience, athleticism and defensive ability.

Clark, Hield, Grooms, Fitzgerald and Neal is a line-up with four to five guys who have started in the past. Our bench could be a strength.

Buddy should be the first off the bench. Lon has upgraded the talent level to a point where we can compete on a consistent basis. The talent upgrade is glaringly obvious when 2 and 3 year starters are now coming off the bench.
