Coach Rodney Terry sure is doing the job in recruiting -- it's more a matter of the younger, inexperienced Bulldogs shedding such a mantle sooner rather than later. You can't hurry love and the same goes for comprehension of the college game.
Sophomore center Robert Upshaw can at least reach a draw if not win the nightly battle in the middle IF he is ready to work harder.
The combination of sophomore Braeden Anderson and JC transfer Alex Davis also have the potential to do the same at the four spot.
Terry can three-guard the rest of the positions, even smallish if necessary. It looks like Tyler Johnson, Cezar Guerrero and Allen Huddleston are the favorites and that's 6-foot-2, 6-foot-0 and 6-foot-2 respectively. But that will also mean no plus player at the point. Sophomore backcourter Marvelle Wynn is one to watch but again not necessarily as a court general.
The Bulldogs could surely use a 6-foot-6 or so wing who can both shoot from outside and create on the dribble drive and freshman Paul Watson just might do that but in time.
Guerrero will be the leading scorer for the Bulldogs with Johnson coming in second. However, it will be consistency or lack thereof involving Upshaw, Anderson and Davis that make or break the Fresno State season.
It's looking like a .500 squad unless the fours and fives are ready, willing and able to be a force.
