Love the news! Potential scholarship breakdown for 2016-17:
Sr - 6
Jr - 0
So - 6
Fr - 1
Not quite the balance JG was preaching when he arrived, but good news for next year's recruiting class.
Can't believe we were able to bring Mike back to life from NCAA bureaucratic purgatory.
No pressure, Mike, but we're counting on you to retake the North (of the state).
Has LB ever done anything that says he should start ahead of Finke who has?

Rebounding. Defense.
This, plus the redshirt freshman year for Finke is a sign that Black was farther along at that point.
LOL, you were one of the guys (black dog too) that said there was no way Thorne would be back. and took me to task for saying he could be.
I agree that Leron is a better rebounder, but fouling is not good defense.
And Finke can trump that with an offensive game, passing, ball handling and court awareness.

Re LB, ... Must've missed that. So, is our scholarship grid out of date?
I don't see any official announcement on Black being redshirted last season.
At that point, but neither had played a minute back then, so expectations were pretty much in Leron's favor as the higher ranked player. Finke was also hampered by the fact that he had to play out of position most of the time due to injuries and lack of 5 options.
But in either case, both will play much and should man the rotation at the 4. But it would not surprise me if Finke starts ahead of Black, after his suspension.
Black did play last season. Wouldn't he need a medical redshirt to get an extra year?
Finke had 61 fouls in 33 games played. And he played alot.
At that point is correct. Not now.
The out of position wasn't an issue in his redshirt year, because Finke didn't play. If Finke was clearly better when they came in he wouldn't have redshirted & I doubt that decision had much to do with rankings, maybe partly to do with giving Finke the opportunity to grow into a 5, IMO most likely because Finke was behind Black, but that was 2 seasons ago & things change.

I believe they just flip a coinTh NCAA has a heart?!? Or do they just throw darts???
Yes, he'll get one.
That's true, he was often beaten so badly on D he couldn't even commit the foul.
