Following all of our Signed and Committed players

Nah, I'm an hour and 30 North of Matt in Eau Claire, but as I stated a few weeks back, I've watched both those guys since there freshman year. Matt is a stud, I'd say Fred should also check out Trevor Anderson(2016 PG 6'1) of SPASH(Stevens Point) averaged 20 pts this year. Top rated freshman in Wisconsin, Sounds like he might also be a D1 baseball prospect too

Does anyone else think that Bluford might red-shirt next season. He is 6-2 180 lbs right now. That is fairly skinny. We signed him as a late replacement for Jones, and we will have have Dorsey-Walker who already red-shirted; and Thomas a top 50 recruit to hold down the minutes at SG. I could definitely see him red-shirting. Both him and Edozie. There is no way we are going to go 11 deep next year. With Bluford and Edozie I don't see how we wouldn't go 11 deep.

11 man rotation
PG-Bubu/Monte
SG-Thomas/Dorsey-Walker/Bluford
SF-Ejim/Hogue
PF-Niang/Ejim
C-Percy/Amardi/Edozie

or 9 man rotation
PG-Bubu/Monte

PF-Niang/Ejim
C-Percy/Amardi

I highly doubt bluford redshirts, he was recruited to step in right away and give us a scoring punch like tyrus.

[Wesley]

Blueman is Tyrus II. Bomb away.

I just don't see a way Percy starts all season unless he takes serious strides in the off season. Could get some minutes off the bench.

[CyMyGuy]

I just hope Percy gets in the gym with Georges to teach him some more down-low moves. If he can keep working on his mid-range jumper and work in a right hand he can give us some valuable minutes.

Yeah the more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards this lineup:

C: Niang/Percy/Amardi
PF: Ejim/Niang
SF: Hogue/Ejim
SG: Thomas/Dorsey-Walker
PG: Bubu/Morris

I'd prefer he developed his defensive footwork, seems like a lot of times he's giving up inside position due to him not moving his feet enough.

Are we the only fan base obsessed with redshirting basketball players? You don't wait for JUCO's to develop. They either come in and play or you say bye after two years and hopefully bring in someone better. This isn't football.

No it's just Nallen that's obsessed about redshirting Juco's

Gonzaga red-shirts players all the time. Oklahoma just red-shirted two juco players this year. That's what you do when you have players that need time to develop their body and game. I would say Bluford needs to put on some weight, and Edozie needs to develop his game.

It's rare that a JUCO "develops his game." If Edozie isn't good enough to play next season, he most likely never will be. You don't wait around on guys like that.

You can recruit someone based on potential. I don't think Hoiberg recruited Edozie based on how he played last season or is playing right now(6 ppg, 6.8 rpg). If someone needs to use their 5th year because 1. Other players are at the end of their 5 years to complete 4 years(amardi) 2. You have better players in front of you (Percy) 3. You weren't that good the previous 2 years and maybe a year playing against players at the division 1 level will make you a lot better; then you use a year to red-shirt regardless of if you came from a junior college or not.

I haven't seen any stats but it sounds like Monte had a good game today. I saw a tweet that he had 7 dunks and 5 threes.
