Tempo And Ball Security Will Decide Starting Point Guard Role

“We’ve had a couple practices where if we put up the starting lineup on the whiteboard after practice it would have been Tre Mann who won the starting job that day.”

That was head coach Mike White on Wednesday talking about a topic everyone wants to know about–who will be starting the season at point guard. Though Mann was the first player to get recognition, he wasn’t the only mentioned as a victor from practice.

“We’ve had a few where it’s been Jacques Glover and we’ve had a few where it’s been Tyree Appleby.”

Lore of Tyree Appleby dominating practices during last season as a redshirt transfer had expectations high that he would be quarterbacking the starting unit but after a season where Mann worked his tail off in the gym and grew a couple of inches, it looks to be him.
