This is Borges' good news I take it.

About Cassell and Facey: DOOMED!
On a good news scale where CRAP NEWS is at the low end and GOOD NEWS is at the high end this TO news comes in at HO HUM.

If other folks develop the way we hope they will, we won't need 'major minutes' from Olander.

Best case scenario is that he settles into deep reserve role.

Borges you gotta be kidding me this better not have been what he was hinting @. anyway, I think tyler might be able to flourish vs lesser competition in our new conference. Remember all those times in the past three years where he'd exhibit a high motor/nose for ball AND floor awareness for a game, only to dissapear for the next 5.

Hopefully he puts down the bottle and gets himself in shape. He's a great player the first 30 seconds of games. The other 39:30 minutes not so much

I'm hoping this is just a coincidence and not the good news Borges was referring to

Nah man not this guy!
I know he's Mansfields own but, Wolf put in more work imo last year than Olanders first 3 seasons combined... should've worked it out to bring him back somehow

I like to reprise his freshman year role of starter. Let someone take the initial shoving and don't worry about fouls. Then a different post can come in later in the game.

I in no way mean to demean TO with that comment. It is an important roll that he did well.

He was a reserve player at the four! That would be the ideal for him!

I would like him to adopt a role where he is the ninth or tenth best player on the roster and gets minutes accordingly.

If he plays 20 minutes a game again this year, our front court is not very good.

If this is the height of the "good news", well...that would pretty much fit with everything we've gotten over the last 3 months.

And maybe he could rap the national anthem at home games

There is no way he would do that, unless he was drunk.


Oh wait...

He's had some good games and at one time had good minutes in a national championship game so there's no question he is capable. We need him.

Tyler put your ring under your pillow every night and dream on it. Dream, dream, dream...................when they call your number off the bench you play like the 2nd coming of Emeka.

Your 2nd or 3rd chance has been granted.................don't fk it up!

Wow that was harsh, he missed a whole week of practice, in a season where practice started 2 weeks early. That'll learn em.

I would think being stripped of your captainship as a senior would be the real eye-opener here.

But feel free to continue acting d***ish. Must make you feel good about yourself.
