Will Cal go 10 deep or 8 deep? I think this team is so deep he has to go 11 deep and "may" cut it to 8 deep at tournament time. What do you think?

8, no idea who will get the short end of the stick from your list. I personally would rather see more playing time for more players, at least with this group.

We have 12 guys who can play depending on the opponent. I think Cal will give them all better chances during the non-conference games than he did last year. Every game will be a mystery until the ball goes up. Then whoever shows he is ready to contribute will get the minutes. But there will be fouls that occur and hopefully only minor physical problems that cause substitution. It's just an ideal situation that doesn't occur very often and I look for each game to bring new things. Can't wait.

I will say 9 deep, and that's a just a guess.

My hope is that he experiments with the lineups. It's unfortunate that Willie and Trey won't be playing as I would like to see all combinations. However it is best they sit out and be ready come Big Blue Madness. I am so looking forward!!

I would say no more than 8 on a regular rotation basis. I do hope he takes advantage of the depth we are all expecting us to have and use that deep bench to wear his opponents down.
