He seems willing to mix it up under the basket. Good sign.

Podz can no longer redshirt unless he gets hurt.
We going all in on the analyzing of this...
-There is an individual (towel dude) behind Goode asking for the towel
-Podz held the towel out so towel dude could grab it
-Podz was not looking when he handed (not tossed) it therefore he didn't realize how close to Goode he was
-An assistant of some sort was talking to Goode which is why he has a less than amused look on his face
TLDR:
I thought there was a bigger percentage of games he could play in before he lost redshirt eligibility.
Western is a team heading in the right direction after years wandering in circles. They’re not going to the tourney until Abmas leaves ORU, but they’re still probably better than their pre-season ranks.

Me too.....thought it was 8-9 games , but I am old and confused at times....................
True, was not sure if Hutch would start or not (50/50 chance was my thinking). Thus, Trent, Kofi, Hutch (50% chance) = 2.5 = 50%. Just sayin'.........
Football - yes. Basketball - no.
I watched and agree with your post. They're not terrible.
they still don't play defense.
For college basketball, any time on the court during a regular season game counts as a season of eligibility. They are looking at changing this rule for the 2022 season. The new proposal allows players to participate in 6-8 games and still redshirt. The exact count is still under debate.
He also might be thinking of the medical red shirt which is eliminated once you play 20% I think.
I think there's almost no chance of nonmedical red shirts under the new rules.
Thanks, still surprised that it goes away after one game. But I'm glad to hear that it's being reviewed.
This might very well be what I'm thinking of.
Ahh, the redshirt discussion. Welcome back old friend. Which scholarship players should pay their own way scheduled to arrive any day now!
Well, if Luther Head starts his own company, can’t he legally pay walk-on players’ tuition through NIL?

Well-explained! I stand corrected.True, was not sure if Hutch would start or not (50/50 chance was my thinking). Thus, Trent, Kofi, Hutch (50% chance) = 2.5 = 50%. Just sayin'.........

Ruled out with just 1 game under his belt, huh? Was not aware. (Thanks MP.)
That lineup we had could be what our team looks like next year. If we add Epps, harris and hopefully Rodgers to that group we'll be in good shape

I'd still like to add a big man of some type --- a 5-star mega scorer --- to replace Kofi's offensive production.
That would be nice. What team doesn't want to add such a player?
That said, our biggest needs by far were two guards able to contribute right away. And that's what we got. Anyone else is icing on the cake.
We'll also lose Grandison and Damonte. 53 minutes up for grabs for some combination of Goode/Podz/RJ/Ty.

Agreed. I like the two new '22 guards and also the shooting potential from the wing with this year's three FR.
I was more or less addressing Shelt's comment about being in good shape for 2022-23. BU now has my expectations set at being pre-season Top 10 to Top 15 every year, and I think we'll still be a 6'8 to 6'11 big time 5-star inside scorer away from being Top 15.
If I can use Lou's run during the 1980's as an example, we need to develop a consistent recruiting run similar to Eddie Johnson-Efrem Winters-Ken Norman-Nick Anderson-Kenny Battle-Marcus Liberty-Deon Thomas.) It's not yet apparent to me that we'll have that type of inside scoring from the Center/Forward position once Kofi graduates.
5-star inside talent.
