Because he was not ready. Like Naz said last week, he has now caught up with the speed of the Big 12 play as opposed to high school. It really is that simple. He had the physical tools.

Fun to see him get a double double on his start. He was very active. Makes me wonder if he just needed to get the conditioning necessary to do what Prohm expected? He looked amazing.
Great game from Solomon, I'd say he's a good testament to Prohm's ability to identify talent. He'll be fun to watch over the next 3+ years.
We have been only 1/2 a player away most of the season from being pretty good to really good.
Maybe if he played more earlier in the season (minus the broken hand time) he could have gotten to this point before now.
My main point is, it was obvious he was our best post player in December, even with his time out due to injury.
Agree. Prohm has mentioned his progress in the past and that he was learning each day. The hand injury set him back a bit as well. He is the missing piece this team has needed. They're starting to gel and moving toward putting an entire game together.
I think we lose without him. He stopped so many potential runs with a block or deflection or rebound.
Saturday will tell a lot about how far he has come. Brodziansky is a good litmus test.
Injury as was said before and most freshman taking time to adjust to higher level play. Defensively especially he seemed off after coming back.
It's neat to see his progression this year. Easily the most improved player. If that continues, next year doesn't look so bad, provided some of our newcomers step up, too.
Coaches have regrets. Prohm stated publicly that he should have played him more. It's water under the bridge now. All that matters now is to move forward his badassedness.
No he wasn't. As soon as he walked on to the court the other team immediately attacked him with pick and roll situations to great effect. He's made huge strides to get where he was at tonight, give him credit for the work he's put in and try to not take pot shots at Prohm when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
So bush league.
And put backs.
Loved the put backs.
Shout out to Holden too...got some quick fouls but had some nice energy on D when he came in.
Hopefully this is the plan going forward...would love if there were some calls for him to get it out anywhere from 5-10 feet from the bucket. Dude has a nice looking shot.
Agreed, if Lard pans out suddenly our frontcourt doesn't look so shaky moving forward.
Don't forget the timely goal tend/get a tech on KSU maneuver. Veteran move.
