When Josh is back Mikesell is going to become the 6th man. Getting minutes at both the 3 and the 4 depending on the opponent and their rotation. Against the likes of North Florida and Coppin State Mikesell can guard the 4, but when we start facing teams with larger and more athletic 4's than Ryan, then I think we'll see him get more minutes spelling Trey.
The rotation looks pretty set with the Crutcher, Davis, Landers, Cunningham, and Toppin starting, Cohill getting minutes at the 1 and 2, Matos getting minutes at the 2 and 3, and Mikesell getting minutes at the 3 and 4. I could see us going with a small lineup of Crutcher, Davis, Matos, Landers, and one of Josh/Toppin some of the time too.
