The Young Bigs, and Toby

[rammad90]

Can anyone tell me when we are going to try and get one or two of the new bigs some playing time? We are getting killed on the boards, and these kids were three (3) star athletes prior to coming here. Not saying they should be all-stars but come on cant one of them give us 5-7 minutes of hard play? Maybe a box out, block shot, hard foul, and a rebound or two? I mean come on?

Also, Toby is a good player but he is struggling on offense. Let's hope he can break out of his funk.

The cubs are on a roll and we need the size to contend with them.

You don't just throw freshmen into the mix in big games early in OOC play. Shaka and the coaching staff know what they're doing.

Yeah, but I think what he is saying and what I agree with is it would be nice if they could collectively do more with the minutes that they have been given so far....

He's saying he wants more minutes for them, but they haven't been showing anything to justify that move. Every player on the court can get a rebound, play defense, and hit free throws, it's just whether or not the effort is there NIGHT IN AND NIGHT OUT.

playing 4 guards most of the game, they will be lucky to win 13 conference games

our "other bigs" only got 19 of 225 minutes tonight. It is going to be a looooong season if jamie doesnt get some help.

banana is right.

The coaches know what they are doing and our young guys will eventually get plenty of time on the court. You can't throw them into a game against a Big East team when we are down by 19. We lost the game because of a horrible start. We caught up because of our experienced players.

Give it time, the big freshman will dominate once they gain some experience.

You need to stop! You don't gain experience sitting on your ass.
