Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
How many active players can be on the roster? Right now WL has 15, one being Boswell who is red shirting. Is it a case where someone else has to red shirt or can a team have 14 active eligible players?

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
Columbus, you list 14 players. We will have a defector or one must be red shirted. Who do you think that would be?. You mention that Alessandro will probably play this year so that would probably leave Hill to be red shirted? Thoughts?

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
Starting at WLU doesn't mean you will get the most minutes like on most teams. Quite the contrary...It's not uncommon for the non-starter to get more minutes that the starter over extended periods of time. So from that standpoint, doesn't really matter who starts. BUUUUTTTT...It does seem that outside of early season adjustments and injuries, WLU sticks with a set starting 5 game after game even when the #2 is playing better. I've always found that interesting about WLU.

PG Luke Dyer
G Kegan Saben
G Nate Allen
F Nick Greely
F Tyler Primmer
I think who starts might depend on the matchup with the other team. As the game progresses the players with the hot hand and most impact/ effort will get more minutes. Imho:
Level 1
Dalton Bolton
Brady Arnold if completely recovered
Meininger
Level 1a
depends a lot on off season improvement
Saben - creates chaos but needs to work on shot. Displaced taller talented starter late in year based on effort. Can play point.
French- Bonifant like shooter who just needs to keep improving on defense to get major minutes and move up to group 1
Moore- hi iq player. If he improves 3 and attacks offensively he could move up.
Allen- has nba first step. If he improves defensive technique he could move up.
Dyer- great assist to turnover ratio. Needs more confidence in shooting 3.
Primmer- if he improves as much as last year he could start.
Group 2 could be major positive surprises here but little is known
Alessandro - expect to play this year
Yoakum- heard good things about him
Hill - great talent
Greely- ex d1 player that needs time to adjust
Watson - scoring machine who needs time to adjust

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
Have you heard if Brady Arnold has made a full recovery and will be able to play this year?

For fall field sports like football and soccer, the dome will give them a large space to do group conditioning during the winter and the occasional in door practice during the season when weather is too bad for outdoor practice. It will also give them an additional space for more specialized small group/1 on 1 coaching.
For court/track/mat based sports, it will probably be of marginal benefit...more as an out of season "change of pace" sort of thing.
