It is a bite to early to predict stating lineups, but for conversation purposes i'll try. G Zae Blake SG Garren Davis SF Brayden Daily PF Cade Meyer C Donavon Short. This is going to be a competitive roster this year For minutes and this will make the team better.

I hope Brayden Dailey is the player coach Ryan says he will be. People who saw him in high school and vs st. Norbert know how good he is. Nate Jenkins his experience is valuable he started some games at point guard last year. Cummings will be a good defender. Brock Heffner it was said he would play with Cade Meyer. He is a redshirt freshman but he has gotten better taller and better shooter since high school. Donovan short is a freshman who knows how he will be play against let’s say uwgb plays Wisconsin because they usually do.

This is going to be a competitive roster this year For minutes and this will make the team better. I think this is probably pretty close to what it'll be. I could see Davin Zeigler getting the start at PG since he has D1 experience, a little more size, and appears to be a little bit better shooter than Blake. I think Davis gets the first crack at the 2 spot, I am pretty high on Dailey so I think the 3 spot is his to lose, Meyer is a lock for the 4 spot, and D. Short is pretty much a lock to be the day 1 starter at the 5 spot. Obviously there's a lot of unknowns with only 3 guys back from last season that actually played, so there's plenty of playing time to be earned this summer and fall. Without seeing a lot of these guys play its hard to guess who's going to start and/or play meaningful minutes at this point. I guess my early "depth chart" would look something like this based on video clips, previous stats, recruiting accolades, ect: PG: Davin Zeigler / Zae Blake / Nate Jenkins SG: Garren Davis / Jack Rose / Randy Tucker SF: Brayden Dailey / Clarence Cummings / Zane Short PF: Cade Meyer / Brock Heffner C: Donavan Short / Amari Jedkins Keep in mind that guys like Zeigler and Jenkins can play both guard spots, Cummings can play the 2 or the 3, Heffner the 3, 4, or 5, ect, so a depth chart doesn't really mean much. Summer workouts haven't even started yet so it'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out. Someone mentioned it in another thread but I agree that a walk-on big would be nice to have for practice purposes.

I thought Blake is a true point guard and would be a better option, but after reading about Zeigler you might be right. Davis will push Rose and Tucker to be better, I see Zane short pushing Cummings and Daily and also I see him as being a leader on this team along with Davis. Meyer and Heffner should be an interesting battle for minutes for minutes, but I do think Heffner will play both Pf and Center. He has a body to bang with the big boys and Jedkins is athletic enough to Play Pf, SF, and even shooting guard. Either way this will be an interesting season and on paper they should be a lot better than last year if they play for each other and play hard on both sides of the ball for 40 minutes. Basketball is a beautiful game to watch if you get a group of players that are on the same page.

Both guys will probably get plenty of opportunities to earn the starting spot. Jenkins is a dark horse as well. He may be a little bit more suited to playing off the ball but he’s likely to get some run as the primary ball handler too. When he was given the opportunity to play last year he made the most of it.

I'm on the same page with what has been agreed upon here.
I think Davis, Dailey, Meyer and Short would be the frontrunners 2-5. The Blake/Zeigler competition will be the interesting one, but either way I think both will play plenty of minutes.

My rotation: PG: Zae Blake / Nate Jenkins / Davin Zeigler - Nate will probably get the first crack at the starting spot, but I see Blake and Zeigler getting more minutes as the season goes on. SG: Garren Davis / Randy Tucker / Jack Rose - I see Rose getting a redshirt unless Tucker can't get on the court because of his bad shooting. I can also see Jenkins and Zeigler getting minutes at the SG spot as well. SF: Brayden Dailey / Clarence Cummings / Zane Short* - I see both Dailey and Cummings getting lots minutes here. I can also see Cummings play the PF slot if they go against a 4 guard dominant lineup. PF: Cade Meyer / Brock Heffner / Zane Short* - I see a Meyer/Heffner/D. Short rotation up front with some minutes for Jedkins if they go up against bigger lineups. C: Donavan Short / Amari Jedkins - See above. * - Zane's story and his struggles physically are interesting. With his previous wrist injury how much flexion does he truly have? With the more robust sports med presence at GB and the affiliation with the GB Packers, can he possibly get more rehab on his wrist and gain more ROM? Also, has he fully recovered from is plantar fasciitis? The Bellin connection could help his recovery even more so than the resources he had access to in his past JC stops. Even if there is improvement on his past injuries, I don't see him coming around screens as a wing forward shooting 3's cracking the lineup as a wing player. However, Zane being 6'6"-6'7" and about 220# (?), he could find a future and more minutes as a combo forward provided that he's healthy and gets bigger and stringer in the weight room. Another 10# of muscle would make him a bigger asset in providing frontcourt depth.

Where does Ryan Wade go in the starting line up? Probably at both guard spots? He started 20 games at holy cross his freshman year and lead the team in threes made, steals and assists.

Potential starting line-ups will be determined as the coaches get a better idea of the hand they have. Even they are not certain of the skill set and chemistry -- how the parts fit together. For fans, the speculation is a parlor game to get us through the off-season. This is the biggest mystery since GB started playing roundball in 1969. I'm still marveling at the roster rebuild that has taken place. Ryan and Company achieved something I didn't think possible. There were multiple problems -- team chemistry, lack of experience, and a lack of depth. The depth issue has apparently been solved. On paper, this squad has more experience, if not experience playing together. My biggest question is chemistry. I think the discussion right now should focus on who will be locks for the playing rotation. On paper there's another issue, there are a couple of players who would be served well to redshirt.

Redshirt candidates Jack Rose, Donovan Short, Amari Jedkins, Zane Short who else could? Brock Heffner should not. And just did at Hawaii so won’t. Brayden Dailey just did.

I see no way that D Short isn't playing this year.
If Ryan Wade is starting it probably means the other guys aren't as good as expected. It didn't seem like Wade had a ton of D1 options. If the staff thought he was a potential starter they would have recruited him a month ago and not in June after they already brought in Davis, Rose, Blake and Zeigler. I am sure Wade can contribute for GB but if I am being honest I would be very concerned about the recruiting if a guy that didn't seem to have many D1 options and also joined the team late was a day one starter. I know that comes across as harsh, it isn't meant to be a rip on Wade. With the team coming off of a 5 win season, the holes should already be plugged in mind. Guys coming in now should be a luxury item and not a necessity IMO.

Any updated predictions for the starting lineup? We're about a month from the initial exhibition opener. Not sure if maturity and experience win the day or raw talent and in today's day and age (keeping guys happy) but here's what I'm going with
PG Zae Blake SG Garren Davis SF Brayden Dailey PF Cade Meyer C Donavan Short
There IMO could be alot of possibilities where Brayden plays the 2 or Cade plays the 3. Maybe Donavan is not thrown in there right away, tough to say. True freshman always have to make an adjustment to the speed of the college game. Either way, excited to the season going and see who emerges. #RiseWithUs #FallIsHere #GreenBayAllDay

Meyer and Davis seem to be the only sure bets for starting assignments.
