Point Guards:
Madden- 6'2 JUCO transfer
J. Jackson 6'0 Soph
Daniels 5'7 Grad
2/3
Dibba 6'4 Soph
T. Cameron 6'5 Gr
Manny Allen 6'5 Sr
Seat 6'3 Fr
Reese Miller 6'3 Fr
4/5
Simmons 6'5 Sr
Pleasant 6'8 Grad
Steele 6'8 Jr
Muoneke 6'5 Fr
Gai 6'11 Sr
Bettiol 6'8 RFr
Manny Allen and Muoneke can play the 3/4. With young wings behind Dibba and T. Cameron, I think Manny moves more to a 3 spot than the 4 that he played much of last year

I hope there is nothing holding Dibba back from enrolling (per earlier comment from Tanner and Cattitude). We are certainly adding talent and will be taller across the board. If Gai were to have a breakout year, we could be special. what would hold him back from enrolling? |

Just quoting coach Tanner who said after Dibba "verbally" committed a couple of weeks ago--"I'll just wait and see--until he enrolls."

So how does a potential starting lineup look this far before the season starts? Get Gai and Pleasant under the basket and we can likely rebound a lot better. Who else?

Gai will need a lot of off season work before he is ready for a starting position. Maybe we don't have that luxury, but that doesn't change the fact that we still need someone else in the center right now. I really like the potential I see in Gai. Still, there is a large gap in his size, strength and technique. Can he get there? I think so, Kohl did, but it took a few years. |

I would agree completely but I see movement in Gai that is smooth and quick. We just need to toughen him up plus a few pounds would not hurt.

I think Steele, Pleasant, Simmons, Cameron and Jackson or Madden will be our starting lineup at the beginning of the season.

That would be pretty stellar. I am ready for basketball, as crazy as that sounds. It will be very interesting to see if our guards can play the style and level of defense we have shown the last couple of years. We could be quite strong -- but so many others are picking up good talent as well.

Anyone getting any info from the basketball team. I'm looking to hear about Dibba, Mouneke, Bettiol, and Madden. Have we gotten better with the guys we've added? I know it will take time to get to the efficiency level of Miller, Mason and Morris but sure seems this group could be better.

So far just a couple of nice tweet pics, but have seen a lot more heavy work-out pics from other WAC teams.

Joe Pleasant will not be on campus until after July 4. He has to graduate from Wichita State and is finishing up one last class before coming to ACU.
But Tanner told me he's not missing much -- they are mainly working on defense right now, and they haven't changed much since Joe played at ACU.

Maybe because of the date range - in 2017 they officially joined Div 1 after the lawsuits settled on whether a for profit school could be a member of the NCAA From wiki “On August 23, 2017, the NCAA officially approved Grand Canyon's move to Division I, elevating the university to active membership status. GCU immediately became eligible for postseason competition.[9]” |
