I was thinking the same thing.It would not surprise me to see Carlton on the bench, but I think Hurley gives him the nod as the stater and more minutes to others
He redshirted? When/where?Wouldn’t that burn a year of eligibility for Martin since he already red shirted?
So, Akok out for the year in your rotations?
Late February seems like a very bad idea if he's on track to return in January (as reports have suggested).With an Achilles, yeah. I'd be surprised if he played at all. Bringing him back in late Feb seems like a bad idea. He'll barely have time to shake off any rust and you could blow a year's eligible for a handful of games.
You’re right I’m just stupid and thought he did for some reasonHe redshirted? When/where?
He played 2 years at URI. He has 3 years left to play 2. If he gets a waiver, he'll play the next two, if not, he'll sit next year and play 2.
Hearing Javonte Brown Ferguson will likely redshirt, and Martin will sit out like RJ Cole did. Fluid situation due to injuries and COVID, but that was initial plan.
Just a mistake, no need for name calling.You’re right I’m just stupid and thought he did for some reason
Whaley is a high energy role player. He started out of necessity, he has the right attitude to be a bench player. Carlton will start for sure.
You can always take a redshirt off. We can plan to redshirt him, and never play him unless we need to. You don't have to "declare" a redshirt. Just don't play the guy, and as long as he's remained academically eligible, he'll have that year on the back end. But once you play him, you've burned his redshirt.If Martin is sitting I’m not sure we want to redshirt Javonte. That’ll leave us with 12 guys, one being Polley returning from an ACL and one being Akok returning from an Achilles. So essentially 10 healthy guys. One or two injuries and we’re back to where we’ve been the past 2 years...can never have enough healthy bodies.
The last half of the season, Whaley blew Carlton out of the water. He was efficient on offense and defense, and did just about everything we needed. If Carlton drops some weight and plays smarter, I think he can get back to form, but let's not kid ourselves and think Whaley is a starter.
I thought they changed the rule for redshirting where you could play a certain percentage of games, or was that only for football? Or did I just make that up?You can always take a redshirt off.

You didn't make it up. I believe that's only for football which is why i added the link at the end of the post, but no, I'm not positive.I thought they changed the rule for redshirting where you could play a certain percentage of games, or was that only for football? Or did I just make that up?
I like that 5. Until I remind myself that Martin and Polley will be very important as scorers. Especially against zones.Brown-Ferguson gonna be averaging like 8 mpg this year lol. I would love if this starting 5 materialized at some point prior to big east play
1- Cole
2 - Bouk
3 - Jackson
4 - Whaley
5 - Sanogo
That's my sentiment as well. I hope he proves me wrong, but that is a devistating injury to come back from. He'll probably play, but to get back to where he was will be a grind.
lets all just put the notion that sanogo will be the starting PF to rest now before it gains any tractionCole
Bouk
Jackson
Sanogo
Carlton starts, but Ferguson gets more minutes
Sanogo is a center. I think our starting lineup looks something like.There are so many pieces I don't know where to begin. Bouk and Jackson are penciled in as starters IMO.

This line up can win the Big East
Did you watch this past season? Whaley was way better than Carlton. There were a couple games Whaley was the best player on the court.Whaley is a high energy role player. He started out of necessity, he has the right attitude to be a bench player. Carlton will start for sure.
As Hurley said, we haven’t even seen Gaff. His offensive game is gonna blossom and really make us a hard team to guard.Gaff gets no respect. But he will be the one the floor after the under 4 timeout.
If sanogo is still here as a junior something has gone terribly wrong. He wants to get to league quickly and for a big man that’s one or two years max on campus.Absolutely. For some reason I was crucified a few weeks back for suggesting this if we added a big. Perfect scenario. It sounds like Sanogo wants to get to the league quickly but imagine this depth at center in 2022:
Junior Sanogo
RS Sophomore Javonte Brown Ferguson
