Why isn't Stensland on the bench?

[Dormeezy]

I noticed in all of the Big 12 tournament games that Stensland wasn't dressed or on the ISU bench. On Saturday, I saw that he was sitting in the first row of the crowd right behind the bench.

Any idea why this is? Is there a limit of how many players you can have dress once you get to the conference tournament or something? Just wondering.

He and Cliff Alexander have been hanging out.

I have never seen him dressed for an away gm.. I think he only suits up and sits on the bench for home games (maybe that is what we do with walk ons)...

Whar Stensland?!?

 

[Dormeezy]

Mainly wondering because Kourtlin Jackson has always been on the bench.

I was wondering the same thing. I thought maybe you could only have so many on the bench for the tournament but Self's and Manning's kids were both on the bench for KU so that threw that theory out the window.

To me it looks like he is essentially a token member of the team. They don't take him to any road games, I am assuming because of the cost? So the tournaments would be no different. If he wasn't a token member of the team I think they would let him go on the road with them, just as a thanks for practicing and such.

It really is too bad they don't take him. If you put in all that work and knew you weren't going to play, I think going on the road with the team to AFH, the Sprint Center, and on a tourney run would be the fun part of being involved with the team.

I thought it was because he had the flu/flu like symptoms a couple weeks ago. Could be wrong, just thought I read that somewhere.

Has it always been this way? I seem to remember the full team traveling before but I can't say I've always specifically looked for everybody either.

Walk-ons always used to travel with Chewy. Of course quite a few of them started, but still...

I haven't seen him at a road game yet.

Heard his parents were caught taking money from an NBA agent.

I think you are limited on how many players can travel with the team. Jackson makes the cut because of numbers and Stensland doesn't.

I wouldn't feel too sorry for him, he obviously made it down to KC and knew the deal when he signed up.

Working the medical redshirt angle for later NCAA request. CFH works all the angles.

If you replace "Stensland" with "Thomas" in the thread title, people would interpret the title to mean something completely different.

NBA agent trying to get to Hoiberg thru Stensland.

I thought this thread was about Judge Stensland in Council Bluffs. Guess he still is on the bench. As for travel squad limitations it is Conferences that regulates and here are the Big 12 Rules. Limit is 15. So even if they counted Burton (which they would even though not on the bench) we wouldn't be over 15. So can't imagine it is that.

Also, Stensland was on the Bench for the Iowa game. And am pretty sure the KC Holiday tournament.

Can we rollover the 27 unused allocations from baseball and have CW put together a Cyclone Fanatic "Sit Next to Kourtlin" contest?
