Message: [QUOTE="EBonz30, post: 4719830, member: 6370"] Not that anybody cares, but this actually happened to me in High School, but by the 4th non-league game I was put into the starting lineup over the senior (game before I took over the 4th quarter & helped win a invitational tournament championship- the senior was small & scrappy similar to Diarra) & by mid season I was named captain. Gotta remember especially as a point guard & someone who is going to run the offense- freshmen typically don’t know all the sets & plays off the sets right away. Coaches are more comfortable having the senior who’s worked hard for years start the first few games, run the offense, & I would imagine gives them less anxiety at the start of the game. With all this said, I would be surprised Castle isn’t starting the first real game- the talent gap is just astronomical & he will probably have a couple of wow moments from now until then that forces Hurley to make sure he is starting from the tip.
