Dumes off the bench ? If it reduces his PT is not a good idea. He is a pesky disruptive defender and our team last year was awful defensively. To put in perspective the top 6 players in 2007-8 each had as many or more steals as our team leader did last year……………who was……….Kyle Taber.

I think defense will get you PT this year which is why I think Capo might get on the floor more than people think. Consider PU,MSU, IL, UM or any team with an active scoring forward type. Are you going to match Watford ( our scorer that we protect defensively ), VJ3, Creek, Bawa against Hummel or Roe ? Don't think so . PU and IL also have legit centers forcing TP on the floor. This means a lineup that pits Elston and Capo against Hummel/Roe and perhaps Capo as a replacement for TP. We will sacrifice scoring for defense…………and we should.

Not saying they will start but I am saying to protect TP and Watford these guys will get serious PT.

Lots of fire power, lots of miss matches depending who we play…….I think Dumes could be the spark we need off the bench if would accept that roll, like Rod Wilmont….bring him and hulls in with the 2nd unit……..

On a side note, there is an article in the Star about Branden Dawson with IU, Purdue, etc, in his top ten. Dawson's a great do-it-all talent and I can't remember the last guy IU got from the region (Nover?) and I don't think they have ever landed a SYF guy. It could also help them in their efforts to land Marrero for '12.

So, really not much different than many already thing, just really confirming it from CTC himself. Also, I still love all the interaction and information sharing CTC does with the fans!
