I think the starting rotation of Iwundu, Johnson, Stokes, Brown and Wade could be pretty solid (if that is in fact the lineup). I think these five were all new this year, even though two were on the team last year. Wes is playing a different roll and Johnson is just now getting back to playing.
The problem is, where do we go from there? Who is next in rotation? Budke is certainly a capable relief guy and would be great if he were 3 inches taller (but then he wouldn't be here either). So the next five is really an unknown made up of newcomers. Freeman is the only one that has played sporadically this year and one wonders if he is Division 1 caliber based on his playing time thus far.
Not giving up on this year, but wondering what is down the road.
