PALO ALTO–The three spots that will tough to fill at the Stanford Cardinal for men’s basketball will be Chason Randle’s old position now playing in the Czeh League, Anthony Brown, and Stephen Nastic. One thing that Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins has is that he could be confident about how Marcus Allen is going to be in that stretch when the Cardinal get in that NIT Championship.

There was another break out game against Davis and Marcus had 22 points. Roscoe Allen has already been the guy as far as facing the media Roscoe is the face of the team for the moment. Also Reid Travis is really going to play a really big role and the one who plays that role well.

Roscoe is a great rebounder his physical presence is a plus but he had a battle with injuries last year and it was hard for Roscoe to come off the court and stay healthy. He’s going to be a big contributor on the offense this year. He’s most likely going to be the Cardinal star player this season.
