We won't be playing 12 guys, no way.

But it will be interesting with the guys that we know of coming in, plus at least a big man recruit.

We have our core 4, add Iverson, and there's the likely top 5 in minutes.

Then add the as yet unknown big, Thompson, Butts, Earl, and Biggie.

That's 10. JR and Butler will be garbage time players for the most part.

#13 is Oneykaba if he stays, or another recruit, likely a PG.

Enough minutes to go around? This year Dan went with a 6 man rotation when he could. Fouls threw that out the window a lot of times.

Next year, I can see a 8-9 man rotation. Foul trouble shouldn't hurt us as much, as long as the new guys are as good as hoped.

Some teams, like Purdue and Virginia and Kansas and VCU, go deep and it works (10 in double digit minutes). Other teams, like Memphis, play a lot of guys a ton because they're searching for something that works. It's not about what most teams do, it's about what works for a given roster. But, we don't even know what next year's roster is or, for sure, who the 5th starter will be.

Silk also had a bullet in his arm. Definition of tough.
