What's going on everyone... Fairly New to posting here because of my previous job (Assistant Coach) but look forward to joining you all this season. Been around the ODAC since 2004 so very familiar with this board and ODAC Basketball. Played from 2004-2008 at Virginia Wesleyan and was Assistant coach their for 13 years. Excited for ODAC Hoops and Virginia Wesleyan (yes that is what I will call it) Basketball!!!

I've been pondering what RMC's starting lineup might be for Wednesday's game vs CNU. The five upperclassmen -- Hammonds, Showalter, Antinori, Hodges, and Bachman are also the guys with the most court time under their belts. But there isn't a proven three point shooter in that group. So I would expect that whoever among the underclassmen has been looking the best from long range in practice will start in place of one of them. Also, a number of the sophomores got ample minutes last season, some of them coming on strong in the home stretch. So there could be another sophomore in the starting lineup -- or maybe even a freshman.

Perhaps 6'5' Soph guard Jack Lloyd. He can fill it up but if he doesent play defense Josh won't play him! Not being critical at all but thats just how Josh rolls.You have to prove your defense FIRST to get PT! Don't really know anything about the freshmen except we're supposed to have a good class. Sophomore Brady Lam is also a possibility. Gonna be interesting Y_Jack_Lok!! Should be an interesting next week or so on campus! HSC Football game this weekend in Farmville for all the ODAC marbles and Basketball GALORE!! I would expect The Crenshaw Crazies to be out in FULL FORCE! Not going tomorrow evening but Ill catch it on FloSports! GO JACKETS!!

^^^ Reflecting further, I know Coach Merkle likes to have experience coming off the bench, so I expect at least two underclassmen to start, possibly three.

I think a Hammond-Antonori backcourt is pretty much a lock.  They were the most played and most trusted guards among the returning players.  Hodges is the other returning starter and a good fit for the 4 spot.  Ty Showalter is the last remaining heavy rotation player, a solid rebounder and a three-point threat.  I predict the freshman, Andrew Clark, starts down low.
