Okay so whats the back up if Castro is a bust? Steal? One of the freshman? What I see from Castro is so ugly!

if Castro doesn't produce, then I assume the backup for Smith would be Mike Lewis, our incoming Frosh.  Ferry did allude to him replacing Colter with the same type of style.  Littleston is obviously supposed to replace Mason, although I think that is easier said than done.  Lewis can be a nice wing player in the mold of Andrew Wiggins (lol, I just picked him since they are both from Canada).

Interesting Note:  Mississippi Valley State was the alma mater of NFL Hall of Famer, Deacon Jones.

Jordan robinson is extremely disappointing.. Kid just runs people over and it appears teams are knowing his tendencies and are just waiting for him to lower his shoulder and they take the charge. Just being big and having a basketball IQ of 3rd grader just shows you that you don't get very far in Division one basketball, especially in the Atlantic 10. James has been impressive, seems he is feeling comfortable in his role and he is a great cutter and can finish around the tin, and knows when to fire a 3. Yes rene does appear to move in slow motion but the kid has had open shots that he is not making, if he could make a few shots that would obviously help him and the team, they're definitely going to need a backup guard, i don't know if they can go 2 seasons in a row playing micah and Dc the entire game when the play good opponents. Looking forward to the Pitt game. Will be their best shot for a W under JF.

Well, during that scintillating 7-13 start last year Ferry almost never played him, after he missed the crucial first year.  
 

He started the first 3 or 4 games and couldn't do anything against division 2 opponents. He clearly had his chance taking consideration he Red shirted the 13-14 season, and had all this hype for his future in a dukes uniform.. I am not impressed thus far.
