March 8th, 2009) is going to appear pretty logjammed.

PG...Lucas, Jr...Lucious, Soph
SG...Allen, Jr...Summers, Jr
SF...Morgan, Sr...Dahlman, Sr...Thornton, Soph
PF...Roe, Soph...Green, Soph
CT...Herzog, Jr...Sherman, Frosh...Nix, Frosh

Now I personally don't think that Jamil has anything to worry about with regards to Dahlman or Thornton, but will he see it the same way? I hope so. As a tall, long and versatile combo-forward, I think there is the potential for a HUGE role on MSU waiting for him in his freshman season.

I think it is likely he would be first off the bench especially if Raymar continues his foul trouble
