Dorn and Jabo Chamberlain, transfer from UNK are both currently being counted 
on to serve as starters.  Whether they are weekend conference starters or 
mid-week starters will play out.  Kroneke, Chamberlain, Dorn, Duensing and Sirek 
are "five to choose from" who can take the ball at the start of the game.  I 
think the KEY to protecting Alex Gordon this year is Brandan Fusilier, stud 
from two years ago who redshirted because of injuries/surgeries last year.  This 
kid was a bull with a powerful right-handed stroke before bad health occurred. 
 I think he is absolute key to our line-up being upgraded ... and the 
line-up, after last year, is in need of upgrading.  Keep an eye on Fusilier -- we 
need him to produce.
