[QUOTE="Deleted member 746094, post: 1441440"] I would put AJ on staff in a heartbeat based on his commitment to this program and character he shows. But these traits don’t overshadow the fact that against B10 talent he disappears. He played 15 minutes today and had “0’s” in every column. In [B][U]30 minutes[/U][/B] against IU he had 2pts and 4 reb and 1 assist. So I will give him 6 pts and 4 reb in 45 minutes. I won’t say anything about his D in the IU game because I think Romeo scores at will on anyone in a man to man situation at the college level . 2 TO’s as well. AG has played 10 minutes in past two games with 5 rebounds. 3 TO’s. I am in no way saying AJ needs to watch from the end of the bench. But AG and TJ would benefit from splitting 15 of those 45 and in no way would that hurt our chances of losing one of the 3-5 games we have a chance of winning the rest of this season. It would however give them opportunity to gain valuable experience. If after 5/6 games they still suck then they go back to the bench and TU can have the minutes... Kipper is harder to take minutes from because of his potential to actually show up and play like and all conference player. So confusing and sad. All I am saying is these freshman don’t get game speed experience in practice as they are almost certainly running schemes other than ours. Give them consistent game minutes and they may surprise you. What do we have to lose??? BU talks up Kipper more than just about any other player and continues to put him in the starting lineup and he is rumored to be leaving the program. Build for the future. [/QUOTE]
