Only switch I would make would be Eramus James for Shaug...

Otherwise looks pretty spot on.

I just wish...

James could have lived up to all the potential. His career since leaving Wisconsin was not one that resembles a good first round pick…

Maybe if he had gone later, like in the 3rd or 4th rounds, he would have gotten the fire he needed to play hard. EVer notive that? James just coasted sometimes, even with all the injuries..

Matt Shaughnessy certainly has that sort of fury within him. He has an unstoppable motor. O’Brien Schofield on the first team? YES!
