Are you able to share what type of role they would see for him? Based on who we are targeting, it would seem like Rodgers wouldn't necessarily be in the starting lineup. Is he a backup guard? Wing?
The thing is, I'm not sure that TY believes this. At least based on the redshirt this year, and the smoke that he will transfer because of concerns about his role. But @Indy Illini Fan indicated there's more of a chance he stays now - maybe Brad and the staff can convince him to stay and fight for his role/minutes - if so we'll see how that plays out I guess. I'm certainly rooting for him.
Indy and Lville are MVPs, but Sharpshot is doing God's work as well. Nice!I'll say it
Back was feeling good mid season and he wanted to sit out to preserve eligibility.
But that being said, we have fletch and you've seen what he's done for guys like Skyy and TJ. Wouldn't worry about it.
Took me a minute... 'Justin Harmon, who's that?' It's getting harder to remember our one-year rent-a-players, which is partially age related, but still...
and just for context, his "production expectation" will be much less than ben last offseason (and we know how that turned out).
Yes to all, and I'd never trash him personally nor tell him to turn down the money. But by the same token, please don't expect me to like or follow him anymore. (That's in general, not to you, Second.) He'd be hard-pressed to pick a better location for me to instantly dislike him.
I'll never forget him because of his interesting role in the Shannon case
Which is exactly what everyone said when our first commit last portal season was the below "we have all the money on earth" expectations Tre White who then started 30+ games this year.
Better than Harmon for sure. Similar performance from Harmon in the WAC vs Sellers in the Big XII. But then of course the book on Harmon when he took what insiders told us was a precious and richly resourced spot on what seemed to be a dwindling number of scholarships was that he was happy coming to be a towel waver for his home state school and barely play.
Now THAT comparison I like. Definitely bigger. But.....couldn't we just keep DGL for much less money?
didn't just start - averaged 16/game in the big 12 which was the best conference in the country (**last season**).
I was thinking more like a smaller version of TSJ- very similar skill set, great in transition and on dribble handoffs and step back threes but not the guy to start the offense and you don’t want him shooting a lot off the dribble mid range- just get to the rim and force the defense to stop you
I thought I read that he would be very good defensively, similar to KB possibly? In addition to a new defensive coach, they need players who like to play defense. We'll see.
Assuming you get Sellers/Sarr, it'll come down to one of those two guys for the last starting spot most likely.
Dix will also be in there, but i'd assume he'd be well established in terms of starting. that scoring ability is pretty potent.
