[QUOTE="QCillini48, post: 1506659, member: 746820"] One thing we do know, is that the suspension has been lifted off Tev and he is eligible to play. But I think at this point, he has to earn BU's trust. That's big with coach, and now that he feels like he's seeing one of his teams for the first time since being here, he doesn't want to mess with rotations or tamper with what's working. You dont mess with a winning formula, and this team has executed at a pretty high level for about 76 minutes out of 80, in the last 2 games against Top 5 teams! So especially having these December conference games, Tev was going to sit and watch regardless... He is a special talent tho, and these next set of non-conference games are going to be really big for him to get some live game action and be a trusted commodity inside the flow of this adjusted system right now! Because this is not the same team or system that he played for last year as a freshman, that seemingly constantly had him too sped up at times. But with the two big guys playing together and Coach going away from the constant pressure Defense to more of a pack-line style, you could really see Tevian flourishing in this years adjusted system, once given the chance! The halfcourt should come easier for him, and I think when Kofi's on the floor, you will see Tev's athleticism shine even more on the defensive end, knowing if he gets beat, his man wont be able to go straight to the basket with Kofi bearing down on them, giving him more time to recover and effect more shots. You could really see where a lineup on both ends of the floor of Kofi, Giorgi, Tev, Ayo, and Trent/Feliz could really cause a lot of problems for opponents [/QUOTE]
