D. Brown only guaranteed...

starter next year (start to finish)? OK, I know...let's worry about this year. But for those that WANT to discuss next year...

It seems VERY LIKELY that CJ and BJ will also start, but I could see scenarios where they do not. Examples:

PG: Jackson or Frosh
SG: Raymond
SF: Brown
PF: JLove
C: Frease

or

PG: Jackson or Frosh
SG: Graves or Jackson
SF: CJ
PF: Brown
C: Love or Frease

I think the 2nd scenario is HIGHLY unlikely. But the way this year turned out (Duncan now isn't starting, times earlier in the year without BJ and CJ starting), it could happen. I think the biggest factors will be:

1. Is Frease a definite starter right away?
2. Does Brown go to his more natural position of SF (assuming he works on his mid-range game)?

Would you go on record and say, "I am 100% certain that CJ and/or BJ are definite starters all of next year."

NOTE: Of course, all of this assumes no injuries, transfers, etc.

I think CJ and BJ are starters next year, same for Love and Brown. The other spot will be between Graves, Jackson, Lyons and Redford. I could see Frease taking BJ's spot or Loves but he'll need to adapt to the college game. Once again, we should be a deep team.

I don't see Frease starting next year. Who is the last freshmen to start for Xavier? Finn? I think if we have a freshmen starter it will be at PG. I see CJ, Brown, and Love as locks. BJ as a most likely at SG and PG completely up the air.
