Good morning guys. I want to get your take on this.

In a thread over on the WSN boards about Jordan Taylor I supported the notion that he would be the freshman that would see the most minutes next year. One of my reasons was that Berggren, who I think is the second most likely to get the most playing time, has more competition. Specifically, I said that if Leuer progresses enough during the offseason on his body and low post defense he'll get the starting spot at the 5 (note that does not mean he'll be stuck on the block, it's the swing offense for cripes sake; nor does it mean that he'll be the main low post presence on either offense or defense, that will be Landry just like this past year), and that Nankivil will also be in the mix for minutes at the big men spots.

The response was the closest I've come to being run off a board. I was told that Leuer was in no way in Bo's plans as a 4 or 5, that he was a SF and would be the new Novak. And that if Nankivil wasn't the starting center next year the Badgers would be in big trouble.

So do you guys think that I'm wrong for thinking that Bo will mke Leuer into a lighter Brian Butch, or that they're wrong for thinking he's got the quickness to stay with someone 5 inches shorter than he is?

And if one of you is "Memhoops..." I want to know where your opinion that Nankivil better start is coming from.
