2024-2025 Houston Cougars Basketball Season

Lemme throw out one of my personal favorites

Cryer
Mercy
Sharp
TA
Jojo

The spacing would be so much fun to watch. JoJo and TA running the floor slashing with mercy sharp and cryer launching 3s

All of them. This isn’t black & white. It depends on matchups and who is playing well that game. Any ā€œbestā€ lineup is going to include J’Wan most of the time but there may be games Jojo is the best player on the court.
TA may be the glue that holds this team together and the FT issue is why I see him finishing some games at the 4.

Option ā€œCā€

The effectiveness of the:

Uzan, Cryer, Sharp, Roberts, Francis lineup.

The guards will have to good chemistry w/ Francis.

Alot of Francis points last yr, came from Shead off a lob, in pick & roll.

If Uzan is as good in pick & roll as Shead was. Then Francis remains an offensive asset

If Uzan is less effective, then Francis is a more defensive asset. In some games vs Kansas, Arizona, Baylor, Kansas St, you may need more scoring on the floor.

i.e. Francis to the bench for more shooting

Francis did take a big jump last yr, but sometimes does make head scratching plays that get him subbed out

So #14 Best backcourt according to Sleepers Media

And #9 Best Front court according to Field of 68

The pundits really respect Sampson & Shead. And the rest of our team is just okay?

Rob Dauster is obviously biased :laughing:. He includes 6 dudes for UCONN. But doesn’t include Jacob McFarland or Lath apart of our depth.

Coogs underrated front court I like it

They also didn’t get the memo that TA is classified as a Guard this year.

If B is in play, we got problems.

Baylor and UConn make no sense that high at all

If he can defend without fouling it’ll be hard to keep him off the court.

Silly they don’t put McFarland on the list. Watch out country. I can’t wait for him to finally be recognized. If he’s here for a second year he’ll be starting center. He’s not lasting 4 years at UH.

There’s not many guys who have the skill set of Tugler and McFarland.

7-9 can all definitely be rated ahead of any listed 1-6.

Best defensive player in the country.

I’m more excited for the frontcourt this year than the backcourt. I’m excited for it all but this could be a special group of forwards that we’ll look back on.

If we’re ever up by 40 I want to see a lineup of Tugler at the 3, McFarland at the 4, and Francis at the 5. Just for fun.
