Guys like that don't barely play. Cole might be more effective as a shooter with less minutes with his limited foot speed/athleticism as well and having fresher legs. Don't think he sees Kemba-like 25 mins but aroudn 15 mins (12-18 mins avg). 4) Floyd: Again, guys with his mindset and physicality early don't sit if he can avoid the redshirt. Best Case: Carve out a Brendan Adams role early. Ultimately: I agree, he redshirts Really jacked for a guard like him in the program. No matter where you come down on this, one thing is for sure. With some depth finally at guard, there is competition. -I'm not worried about anybody's feelings getting hurt, good programs and JC didn't - let the best players play! -Competition will make everyone better and players won't be able to play timid or go back to Ollie-fragility like Md. Loss! [/QUOTE]
