Message: [QUOTE="Bazz2014, post: 4835499, member: 10369"] I have no insider knowledge, so when it comes to PT decisions I can only go by Hurley’s public comments on the three freshmen not named Castle/Ball. - Re: Singare - I believe Hurley said during the STJ postgame that they almost redshirted him this year. My interpretation: they have absolutely no plans to play him real mins this year, he is a long term project. Even without Donovan, he cannot be expected to give us more than 5-6 mins against real competition and that will ONLY happen if, like during the STJ game, both Karaban and Samson are on the bench with fouls. - Re: Stewie/Ross - We need to be deeper, but these guys have to be able to run our stuff before they see real time (paraphrased from quotes from DePaul pregame). My interpretation: minutes are there for one or both of these two, but he’s not going to throw someone out there just because we’re down a man. If you can’t run the offense or defense in practice, Dan isn’t going to give you a long leash to mess around during a game. Based on todays PT, Stewie is showing a bit more than Ross. I have no idea if any of the above kids are frustrated about this… but if they are, the living embodiment of “commit to hurley’s system, improve every day in practice, and your day will come” is currently our starting center and in the midst of a breakout season.
