It will take awhile for him to get into basketball shape and learn the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he requested more time at home to be with mom and family after the loss of his father or if this is the university's decision to just now arrive?

Not just building a brand but preparing that brand for future NIL deals. Social media is going to be the fastest and easiest way to make that money. It seems the department is doing a great job of creating value for our players to market in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since he turns 23 in July, I seriously doubt he stays more than this year and next unless he wants to play college ball as a 25 year old.

He also could be focusing on learning the playbook on his own because if he comes now to practice they are way beyond reaching him the playbook and defense without him having some knowledge of it in advance. I mean he is clearly ridiculously smart so it wouldn’t surprise me if he can pick up quickly on his own and with zoom meetings with team coaches and team leaders.

He has been around BB long enough to know how to pick up on certain sets. Any word on Franklin and how he is doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he allowed to play or is there some rule that classes for the spring semester would officially have to start? Or is it an arbitrary date or just fall semester has ended?

dgambill Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 So he is now on the bench and I think working with the team? Is a week long enough to perhaps get him acclimated enough to perhaps see him get on the court? Like 2 mins here in first half 2-3 in second half. Basically take the Lander role for now. I don’t expect a lot but maybe start introducing him to some playing time. This is a kid that has two degrees and played plenty of college basketball already. Who knows keep getting him some minutes and maybe by the end of the year be a real contributor off the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 There is a big part of me that wants to see him play ASAP. There is also a part of me that thinks throwing him out there this year reeks a little of desperation. Whenever he gets out there, I’ll be excited to see him.

Considering what we are facing in the next five games, I'd say we are desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
