Quote from: BCHoopster on Today at 09:47:25 AMWhy does everybody bring up redshirt, I am sure that is not what a new recruit wants to hear.  He might be the third big next year, might be better than Hamilton and Clark.  I am sure that is what he is thinking about, not redshirting

I hope he's thinking about his education and the name on the front of the jersey, not the back

I think the theory is he would reclassify. Get better coaching, experience plus get paid while developing then be an extremely effective contributor in what would've been his freshman year anyways.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 12:07:26 AMRoyce played PF and is expected to start at the 4 this season.

Royce subbed for Ben a ton. I mean he popped to the top of the key and wing more than a 5 traditionally would but he was in as the "big man".

Do we have any indicators from authoritative sources saying whos expected to start? I think he should but till proven otherwise, Shakas selected experience over talent.

Athletic 6'11 players are always useful.

General comment:

I prefer releasing one episode at a time, like season one did (after the first 3 episodes).

There's so much going on, that binge watching each arc is a little overwhelming. These episodes need time to breathe, to be digested. Time to rewatch episodes to pick up on all of the subtext I missed the first time. To ratchet up the suspense even more through anticipation.

Still enjoying the season, but I feel like I won't truly appreciate it until I have time to rewatch everything.

The pacing is much different this season. A lot more has to happen in very little time.

*****Spoilers below*******

The final scene of Episode 6 could have been an entire arc of its own. Felt a bit rushed, but upon review there were a few bread crumbs to set it up.

Lonnie was one of the ISB agents assigned to the Gorst case, passed the info to Luthen, and I assume the mission was assigned after the 2nd Bat signal blue light that Bix alerted Cassian to.

The scene of Kleya removing the listening device, with a room full of ISB agents, was brilliantly tense. Mon Mothma verbally sparring with Krennic was captivating. Then, a much deserved moment of levity for Luthen and Kleya at the end.

I agree with Rico, the final payoff was not what I was expecting. The Ghorman massacre and subsequent storyline must be in the next arc. Along with Mon's defection and the forming of the Rebel Alliance.

PS- Cinta's death was a gut punch.

Sheek needs to add muscle, but he's got great length, hands, runs the floor well, very athletic, and very coordinated.

He'll be primarily a rim runner or in the dunker spot on offense. Should provide a real rim protector on defense. I'm optimistic he can be a strong rebounder.

Would be a great pick up.
