Oh boy..I expect alot of flak on this one.
But, here goes for Kansas State.
Jeremiah Massey PF: Big 12 newcomer of the year, solid interior guy, lead the team in scoring and rebounding last year. This guy is our leader. He transfered here from a JUCO last year and had one heck of a season.
Cartier Martin PF: Had a decent freshman year. He was recruited by KSU and OSU big time, but KSU got this 4-star recruit. I expect him to step up to lead this team after Massey leaves.
Fred Peete/Clent Stewart PG: So far I like Peete better than Stewart from what i've seen (2 exhibition games). Peete is a JUCO transfer, and just has a more refined game than Stewart. He hit alot of big scores vs Pitt State on thursday night. Clent looks like a freshman..lots of energy, but lots of bad passes. Clent Stewart was the 2004 Oklahoma High School player of the year.
Lance Harris SG: Man..what can I say about this guy so far? He has 2 HUGE games in a row, albeit both being Exhibition. He didn't see much playing time last year, but vs EA Sports All Stars (whom KSU has lost the previous 2 meetings, but won this time around) he had 26 points and double digit rebounds. Vs Pitt State he didn't score as much, but he had one of the best dunks i've ever seen...I wish I could find a video of it I could post here, but you'll just have to believe me and ChiTown for now.
Marques Hayden F: Just saw him play for the first time on thursday night, but he impressed me...he quietly amassed a double double, and shot well. He led the team in FG Percentage last year.
Reserves...we've got big men. Justin Williams, Tyler Hughes, Travis Canby, Dramane Diarra.
As for expectations, I am hoping for some sort of a post season appearance. The 'Cats have quietly improved since Wooldridges arrival, and had their first "non-losing" regular season last year, which was capped off by a victory vs #10 Texas.
