I had the opportunity to watch Collin Dennis play 3 games in high school as a shooting guard at Richland High School. He went head to head with Brett McDade and also with Austin Jackson in 2 of those games. What I saw was one of the best pure scorers and shooters I've seen in a long time. He can shoot from the outside, pull up for the medium range jumper, and he is not afraid to take it to the hole. He outplayed McDade and Jackson in those 3 games. He ended up as one of the top two or three scorers in Dallas Fort Worth his junior and senior seasons. I hadn't seen such a great pure scorer or shooter in high school since Stanley Bonewitz at SA East Central.

I have a feeling UNT purused him his senior year but he decided to try the beaches of Florida instead. You can't blame him. I bet that JJ's pursuit of him during his high school career were primary reasons he pursued talking to us and decided to transfer here.

We won't lose much at the shooting guard next year. I love Watson and Davis of course. But, I think Dennis will find a groove after a month or so into the season. He'll average 20 PPG in conference next year.

Michael Sturns! Collins and Mangrum will come off the bench with Bell, Sturns, and Flemmings starting.

IT doesn't matter to me. We'll be in good shape whether it's Sturns or Dennis starting. Sturns will deserve it after having put in that much time off the bench. But, Jones' philisophy is that it doesn't matter who starts. It matters who finishes.

My guess:

PG - Collin Dennis

SG - Michael Sturns

SF - Roderick Flemings

PF - Quincy Williams

C - Keith Wooden

Bench:

PG - Ben Bell

SG - Collin Mangrum

SF - Harold Edwards

PF - Harold Stewart

C - Justin Howerton

I agree. If Stewart is capable (size) of getting the starting nod over Howerton at center the following year, we'll likely start two Harolds, two Collins, and a Roderick. On the other hand, who knows who JJ might pick up between now and then. The future looks bright to me!

I wish Edwards could play the SF. That's really where he should be. He's struggling real bad. He came with so much hype out of high school. He is stuck in the rut of thinking he should stil be a Center dominating high schoolers.
