ST413 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I have said before this year the coaches are going to have lots of possibilities. I am sure the normal system will be a 5 for 5 rotation like last year where there are at least 2 fairly equal squads. But they will be able to go little and super speedy or big with Devon at point and everyone else at least 6'. From one thing I have been told there are possibly 14 varsity players not counting the ones brought up for the playoffs last year. I know last year coach only wanted 12. We shall see, it will be fun.

They can go 5 in 5 out against the teams in their district but not against good teams. Although they do have quite a few athletes, theres a skill set drop off after about the top 7 or 8. You will see a normal rotation in big tournaments and the playoffs. BADSANTA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADSANTA Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 They will go 10-12 deep again. I'm interested to see who fills the voids left by Grubbs, Maze, and Dontre Thomas. Each of those guys averaged double figures and Thomas could really battle on the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silsbee will play 10 (possibly 12) against everybody, including Dallas Lincoln and Beaumont Kelly. winwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCain, M. McCain, Jones, Harris, Tyler, Adams. Not that the next 5 or 6 aren't athletic.... but both Lincoln and Bmt Kelly would beat that next group by 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise your not as good as you make out to be. I think you underestimate the skill level of Newton, Mackey, Crowder, Thomas, Lowe, Bass and Barnes. Barnes is a starter.

BADSANTA Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Saw some Kelly kids play in AAU tourney here in Cypress about a month ago. They have some kids who can fill it up. Should play well vs Silsbee. winwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxHoops Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I'm not a fan of 5 in, 5 out in general in any game you are actually trying to win. I've seen coaches basically use this rotation when they were maybe only 7 deep. Sigler is deeper than 10 relative to many teams he plays and could use a 15 man rotation in many games and win going away. The one drawback no matter how deep you are is that a different set of 5 kids may mesh better on a particular night a different 5 on another. If you play 2 groups together and sub them in and out with the same 5, you won't see this. Of course when you are playing teams you will blowout regardless, it doesn't really matter. I did notice in a playoff game I attended and at State, Coach Sigler substituted in a more traditional manner and didn't play 10 kids an equal amount of time. And I think he does a tremendous job of managing the depth with which he is blessed. winwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he did in a couple of games was limit to 2-3 subs in 2nd half. But he always went 5-5 in first half of every playoff game. At least 11 players played in every playoff game.

I didn't mean to imply he didn't play everyone. But his substitutions varied more than this 5 playing with this 5 is what I meant, especially in the 2nd half. So when you are only playing 8 deep in the 2nd half, that's not 5 in, 5 out. His subs were different than normal in a game I saw in channelview and in the championship game, even with McCain out with injury, I can think of one kid who was in the regular rotation who played little, if any, in the 4th quarter. Again, a good coach should be able to make adjustments in any given game, which is exactly what he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST413 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 You are always going to have a top 5 so to speak that in close games you may use more later in the game. In that final last season We weren't only dealing with Devon being out but had a key player or two in foul trouble which changed the rotations up.

I'm interested to see who fills the voids left by Grubbs, Maze, and Dontre Thomas. Each of those guys averaged double figures and Thomas could really battle on the boards. Though we will miss them all, Grubbs will be the hardest of the 3 to replace. Maze's shooting will be replaced by Bush, who has virtually unlimited range and is a better ball handler. He also has the ability to finish despite his size. From what I saw this summer, Dontre's rebounding will be replaced by Jones who will also be a strong presence as a post. And Barnes will grab lots of rebounds as well. Put both of them on the floor at the same time and there won't be many rebounds left to get. Grubs however was the Tiger who just new where to be all the time, a quiet hard worker that contributed everywhere. Not sure one Tiger will fill that role or if it will take a combination. Right now you have: Returnees from regular season: Senior move ins: Michael McCain Willie Jones Devon McCain Calvin Tyler Trajan Harris Curly Jordyn Adams Thomas ? From WB Kalon Barnes Incoming Freshmen: Bruce Newton Martin Kolten Mackey Braylon Bush Adonis Thomas Three added to roster from playoffs: Tre Lowe Landyn Tyler Jaden Bass Not counting any others that could be moved up that's 17 possible varsity players.15 of which have eithermade good cases this summer or are returnees or seniors. I have no idea what the coaches will do but it's sure a nice problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMTSoulja1 Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 There's a player that no one is talking about that will play basketball and will probably be one of the better on the ball defenders on the team. Quick feet, active hands, acceleration, and very physical in the ball. Calvin Tyler's defense will probably earn him quite a bit of PT...

I hope this is true. Play Dallas Lincoln early. Find out what they are about, or whoever the best in 4a in Dallas is this year. If you can play some of those big dog Dallas teams as well. Forget about records and rankings. There is good competition elsewhere, but Dallas is mecca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
