I'm not sure about that. Then you just wind up with bad chemistry.BU would love 13 guys expecting to play....that's what the BigBoys deal with in most years.
This year's roster - I doubt BU expected Lieb, BVV, Pods to play big minutes, and Hutch getting hurt freed up other minutes, not to mention Belo out
Last year's roster -Hamlin, Lieb, Tyler Underwood....obviously there's some spots on the roster who won't play much if it all, and more PT to his core guys
Two years ago - Hamlin, Tevian Jones, Tyler....similar to previous year
Before that obviously he was inheriting a mess
I don't think there's anything wrong with going into the season with 10-11 guys you figure will compete for the rotation, and a couple spots at the end for projects or kids rehabbing an injury or an open scholarship (like this year that went to Dainja). In fact I think BU has said he likes having an open scholarship going into the year for anyone who might transfer in
