I also think he has a respectable shot and great size/length. He might need to improve his lateral quickness on defense but I might be nick-picking the freshman. Seems like a solid overall player not unlike Simms.

My guess is that sometime this year Boggs will start at the 4 spot and they will move Sims to the 3. He's too smart. His consistent ability to stretch the floor with the 3pt shot is still developing, and attack rim mentality will separate him from the rest. Matter of time & time spent in the weight room only. He can block shots and contain his man reasonably at this stage.

Eventually I foresee a starting lineup of TOEWS, OKAURU, SIMS, BOGGS, LINNSEN. With very little drop-off with the 2nd unit of PHILLIPS, ESTIME, SKAGGS, DODD. Yes I listed 4 players in the 2nd Unit because I think that both Bowen & Tolefree will eventually fall out of the rotation. Tolefree due to turnovers and a streaky shot & Bowen because of a lack physical strength and Ball IQ. SKAGGS is a situational 'wild card'. He will win a few games for UNCW this year on his own. Streaky but deadly. I've been wrong before of course but it's impossible to keep an 11 man rotation if you want to be competitive.

That is amazing analysis for 2 games in and you already have guys transferring out for lack of PT! I only know what I saw against Carolina and my take was it could take a while to figure this out with so many players who might workout.

The worst thing in the world for this team is for us to be floating ideas of players transferring.
