I have a feeling that Cronin might develop into the main guy and Gibby will spell Cronin. Reason being is i can just see Cronin being a little more of a banger and we need at least a glimpse of that on the court. I do believe Gibby will be better and be more assertive and aggressive this year tho...along with hopefully shooting a better percentage! We also need Dsims to really advance his game if we are going to see 15 to 17 wins. He needs to become a real threat for us as well as being a leader! yep…its going to be a competition between Gibby and Cronin for our biggin!

I think Gibson can be a decent offensive contributor, but that is only when he logs a ton of minutes. He can't get in the flow of a game in short spans. Unfortunately for him he is a complete liability on the defensive side of the court, and will be taken out regularly if Cronin shows that he can be a defensive asset.

He's always been better than Ekpe offensively. He started ahead of Ekpe early on, didn't he? Once Ekpe showed his solid defensive play and thus gained most of the minutes, Gibson seemed lost for most of the rest of the season. He had a quick burst of good play against Penn State and then the Wisconsin game. I’m optimistic about Gibson’s offensive potential too, Giddings. He’s always been better than Ekpe offensively.

In fact, in my opinion, I think that Ep's AAU coach, Mitch Malone, just has a grudge against U-M because our coaches (TA and JB) play by the rules and don't "court" AAU coaches. My bet is that Malone ends up selling Ep to the highest bidder... which is why it will be interesting to see where he goes. It pains me so much to see people like AAU coaches, the Pumps, WWW, etc take control of a youngster's life and use them for personal gains... just awful. I think that Ekpe had a weak spot (his feelings of homesickness, which he had been having throughout the first two years) and Malone saw that and exploited it. Of course, if I'm wrong, my apologies to all parties involved. And by the way, all you folks who have no faith in Zack Gibson will be pleasantly surprised next year. He won't provide the same defense as Ep but I really think he'll step it up. Remember the Wisconsin BTT game?

You would have to think that that is exactly what we are going to have to resort to is 4 around 1. Cronin and Gibson and a bunch of guys driving and shooting...much like Villinova. Thats probably how it will have to be for a while till we get some quality bigs(centers, powerforwards) back in the rotation. I think that philosophy gives us the best chance at winning...so if Grady can drive and do the neccisary things to help the ballclub then yes he will play a lot. But with Epke leaving I think it puts a little more pressure on Sims to step up and really make advancements with his shooting. Jb is going to want as many 3ballers on the floor as possible now.
