I am hearing some very nice things about Crater and his quickness so it is very possible that he might be a big to fail in at the PG position after Hill and Simmons leave. I am not so sure how much time Simmonds is going to be at the PG position anyway. Johnson can also play both positions and I would think if you would just let them play the PG he would get accustomed to that and be just fine. I think Sibert is another story and probably can just play the 2 guard. That would be true of Smith and Byrd also but I have read where Smith is pretty strong and would be able to help out when it comes to rebounding a little bit. The same might be true of Byrd with his size. They both might be able to slide down to the SF and play that a little bit.
You'd never know what Matta has up his sleeve. I am almost positive that they will get a true 5 player for 2010. Now whether that is Payne or someone else I really do not know. With the shoe size of Sullinger it is possible then he might be 6'11" by the time he gets to college and while you will be in all likelihood one and done I am sure that Coach is well aware of that and will bring someone in to back him up and be the starter in 2011.Matta seems to be going the junior college ranks quite a bit in the past couple years and no one ever knows about who he might be looking at until those guys are on board. Also, let's not forget about Z. Depending on how fast he improves, he might be here for the entire 3 years.
I will begin to worry about the 2011 class after we are finished with the 2010 recruiting.
