Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 3341526, member: 37"] If we keep Josh and Bouknight out of foul trouble and Akok and Brendan healthy there won’t be a need for these guys to carry the team. As the new guys get more comfortable with the college game Hurley will have greater ability to mix and match. We saw it starting in the Florida game. He put in the young players except Akok as a group because they play as a unit in practice. It’s smart coaching. While these players adjust to the speed of the game he didn’t want them to adjust to their own players. Their adjusting quickly. Buffalo game he gets Bouk back and doesn’t put the kid in a situation which puts pressure on him. His minutes have increased since and will continue to increase. Bottom line is Hurley has a measured approach to player development and integration something we as fans don’t but hopefully will. [/QUOTE]
