Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 1892705, member: 3535"] It all depends what you mean by "sit entirely." If you definition of a player averaging 5 minutes per game is "Sit entirely" that could be an option because in 40 point blowouts unless he's very upset because overall nobody sits "entirely." Even Pulido and Lawlor averaged 2.6 and 3 minutes. So if they didn't "sit entirely" neither will anyone else. As for injury or player's leave it is highly possible. So my point is there could be players that either get hurt, leave, or sit a lot because they aren't as good (not every player that is recruited blossoms into a good fit / fine player). In reality there is adversity. We can't ignore that. Gabby got her 16 and 19 minutes in part because Tuck was always a concern, last year Butler was way behind the eight-ball because of a thumb injury, KLS was in the early doghouse, and Collier apparently was banged up with her hip and even she said during the season she needed to get much stronger in her upper body (i.e.e not ready.). If Collier wasn't ready as a frosh and I'm sure you've read the posts on here in which a poster quoted you completely raving about Collier's greatness in high school and who was undoubtedly the best, then it's logical to assume that more than likely the new class of kids or other factors will open up enough minutes for more than 5 players because if Collier wasn't ready then why should all of the others be? I think you've grossly lowballed the minutes also we must assume Geno will bench his stars during the game or not even let them play which ultimately will allowother players minutes per game to go up. This is a coach who benched 1st team all-american Stewart and what should have been 1st team a/a Morgan Tuck. This year he may not do it in an extreme level but next year count on it he will. -------- By the way, do you think Butler will play decent vs Baylor tomorrow night? What about Kyla - will she play and if she does do you expect her to get annihilated? Big game tomorrow night on the boards. [/QUOTE]
