What's your guess about rotations, Columbus?
Alpha platoon - three would seem to be high probability.
Robinson III
Yoakum
Butler
My guess for the next 2 slots are:
Moore Jr.
McKinney
Bravo platoon
Watson
Montague
Kovacevic
Mix and match 2 of the following:
Sarson
Rasile
Powell
The open issue with the transfers is how quickly can they adapt to the style? This will determine their platoon early in the season.
I could see the platoon members changing based on matchups with the opponent. I see each platoon getting significant minutes.
The other open issue is the progress of the talented freshmen. Some could earn playing time.

I do think Butler is a point guard long term. Down the stretch this past season, we saw a lot of Butler playing the role of trigger man. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Butler step into that Luke Dyer role this coming year.

Intriguing lineup there. The first platoon would be a Hillsdale size lineup that can run the court, creating a dunk fest, with 4 of the 5 proven capable of > 40% from three. Would Butler be the qb guy to start the offense ( I saw him doing some of that on occasion in the regional, with Luke on the wing)?
The second platoon is impressive too.
Powell is something of a mystery given that he was injured. But he can light it up and has great elevation on his jump shot to shoot over folks from three. Would not surprise me for him to play a taller shooting guard role.
The intensity of the competition will be something to behold.
Redshirting frosh is also what nwmsu does to get their mind cleansed from any remnants of AAU me first ball. Big advantage in making a deep run.

Now that he gets no "freebie" years, I think we'll see Howlett redshirt his frosh (as was pretty typical of WLU in pre-COVID times).

Just fyi and not that it matters, I grew up with Satterfield's dad Archie. I know Archie has had some serious illness lately but has seemed to recover.
