Thanks Rob. Keep them coming!
I think Moss will give us some quality playing time. He might be more of a streaky shooter, like a James Moses, but he will give us some points. And some will come at valuable times in the game.
Now just like a lot of the others returning, and new, his defense will be very important. And just like some of the others, it will determine his playing time.
Fran & Co should have the offense to put the points on the board. But they have their work cut out for them on the defensive side... They have the athletes. They just need to coach it in. A lot of that will come from playing experience and film study... It will be a bumpy road. But Fran will have a big season coaching wise, IMHO.

Rob, do you think there is any shot for Moss to crack the starting lineup?
I think that is one of the most intriguing things about this season that outside of Jok, every other starting spot is potentially up for grabs.

For the reasons you mentioned, I think there's an opportunity for Moss to start. Not sure I like his odds, though considering experience and position.
I think Jok, Cook and Uhl are locks to start. I think Baer is one of the five best players at this point. And then we have point guard, everyone's favorite topic.

I know Fran mixed up the starting lineups in the beginning of the season in his first few years here, and I'm kinda expecting the same this year. I think Baer will get the first crack at the starting job, but I could see someone like a Moss maybe getting an oppurtunity.

I think you have to give the starting job to Baer. His all-around game is superb. That really adds up. He seems to keep getting better. And he has 3 more months to gain weight.
He will be tough to not start. Especially with the question of this PG thing that everyone keeps talking about. Baer's ball handling skills are very good. Even more so for a guy his height.

I think there will come a time during the B1G season (it'll come early on) that Jok will need someone else on the perimeter that can score. Moss is a scorer and if he does progress, he could get extensive minutes. I think Fran will give everyone an opportunity to show whether they can score points, this season. This season is going to be fun for me to watch because of all the young talent and watching how they develop.

This ought to be the most interesting preconference season yet for the McCaffery era.

I kind of hope Moss starts. I just really like what Baer could bring coming off the bench. He can do about everything and is just a high energy guy.
