This whole situation is irritating. We're a few days before a pretty high profile scrimmage and a couple of weeks before the lights are on for real and there's absolutely nothing in either direction on him. The staff is shrugging their shoulders when it comes to his status. With OA being on the bench with his brother and seeing how far into the season that ran into.....we should have known that this was a very real outcome with Tomi.
I have to believe that this was a known issue from the jump and that we were prepared for it. Leaning on a true Freshman, with no depth behind him, doesn't seem like we were prepared for it. Freshmen have a habit of doing freshmen things with #1 on that list being cheap and and often lazy(slapping) fouls. That just comes with the territory of being able to stuff everyone in HS to playing against grown men in college.
Our paint production/protection is going to be a sore spot early on. I hope this gets resolved sooner rather than later.
