Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3802979, member: 10"] For those in this thread asking about Springs, FWIW here is what Hurley said. [I]While Brown has decided to transfer, another freshman big who has seen limited playing time appears ready to stick it out. Richie Springs, a 6-9 redshirt frosh who sat out last season as an academic redshirt, has played even less than Brown this season. “Richie’s a developmental guy,” Hurley said. “Richie’s very aware of our roster ... With Akok not healthy, it’s hard to get on the court in our frontcourt. Especially when we have the option of Tyler back to full health, playing him at the four, or Tyrese. So, listen, we’ve got a good frontcourt, man. It’s hard to get on the court here. Richie understands what it is. He’s a developmental player. He’s got three or four guys every day that are kicking his (butt) and making him better. He’s embracing it, he’s improving. As long as he understands that he’s a developmental guy, he’ll eventually get with a program like ours. But Richie, now, is really the only guy healthy, in practice, that’s not playing and not in the rotation. I think that probably energizes him a little bit more.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
