What does the starting 5 look like this year? Brownie, Whitmer, Tyler Johnson I would think for sure.
Cam Wiliams? Todd Tieman? Murphy? Is Zach Gutekunst still playing? Any surprises make the team?

Just read an article from the Enquirer on this years top 23 Ohio boys basketball players and 27 honorable mentions. Of the supposed top 50 players in the state this year none are from the GCL. Is this apparently a rare down year for the GCL?

I wouldn’t worry about it. The Enquirer doesn’t do a lot of research into any of their HS preseason material.

That’s what I thought when I read about some of these guys.

How good is Roger Bacon supposed to be? They played Elder pretty tough last year.
Middle of the pack GCL small school. They have a brand new Coach as well.

What’s Neal doing? I know he announced he was stepping down early last yr, but if he’s got time, he’d be a good add to Elder’s staff.

Who will take over for Harp as the go-to guy when they need a three?

Whitmer can shoot threes. Anyone else?
His son graduated and he stepped down. He won't take any job IMO unless LaSalle opened up and wanted him.

Johnson and Murphy. They didn’t shoot the ball well in game 1 last yr, so hopefully, shots fall as they get more into the groove of the season.

Not even an Asst job?
He was a finalist last time the job was open and he's a westside guy from that area. Again just speculation on my part.

Browne and Whitmer are first team GCL players. Whitmer has a chance to be GCL player of the year.
Would like to see more out of Johnson but the potential is there. He needs to slow down when the ball comes his way (quite a few unnecessary fouls and turnovers.)
Gutekunst will bring toughness and defend. Murphy is solid and Williams is VERY good. Especially for a sophomore.
This is the core of the team.
As much as Joe likes to sub, they need to find two rotational players who can emerge, step up, fill the gaps. Someone who is athletic enough to score 4-6 points off the bench when he gets his chances.
Fun group to watch so far.

Still think they’re going to need Boeing off the bench. They don’t have any size outside of Johnson & Browne

If Browne and Johnson get into real foul trouble, they certainly will need another big to absorb quality minutes.
Having said that, Whitmer is not small. Murphy and Williams are skinny, but they are not short either. This group is actually taller than most Elder teams.

I know it will change, but is the starting 5. Brownie, Whitmer, Murphy, Cam Williams, and Tyler Johnson?
Maybe Gutekunst and Tieman, Brass the first couple of the bench?

Ive seen Gutekunst in the starting lineup but Williams enters for him.
