Nick N back at Sun Prairie

[Skatastrophy]

That the coach isn't playing a kid who just rejoined the team for the first time in going on 2 months? Smart move by the coach.

The whole thing. Not just NN riding the bench for a game.

I agree, it's a strange situation. One month he's thanking Wojo and others for their support during his battle with depression. The next month he's ripping his dad saying he was never depressed. Add to that some of the replies on his twitter, Wojo heavily recruiting PGs and there seems to be more to the story. That said, I really don't care, if he can play I'm all for him heading to MU.

I think we are going to need another PG regardless of NN showing up on campus as this year has shown. Duane can play combo guard (although I do like his ability to slash in the PG role a lot) but someone with a bit more experience would be nice too (preferably a Nic Moore). Frosh need time to Frosh (well at least those not named Henry Ellenson).

Excited to see NN get to campus (and perhaps away from whatever distractions are/were getting to him) and excited to see the recruiting plans going forward.

Yeah, it started with Juco PGs, which I agree would be great. But I believe Wojo has recently offered high school PGs. Duane has a great handle, not like D Wilson's but close. I don't see why he wouldn't be a great scoring PG, haven't seen one of those since Dominic.

Good comparison between Duane and Dom. Duane is a better shooter and FT shooter than Dom was. Dom was more athletic, but not by much. Dom a better ball handler, but not by much. Dom a better defender, but Duane has definitely improved. Playing more man D has helped Duane improve. Speed/quickness, would give a slight edge to Duane.

Have to seriously wonder if he ever makes it to campus.

Hopefully he will have a successful senior year from this point, and makes it to campus. But banking on a freshman to come in and take the PG position from day 1 is not realistic. Hell: look at our frosh recently, none did all that well their first year. Vander was probably the best in the last few years and he had plenty of struggles.

As Al used to say "let the players play."  The best players will play.  Each year you toss the new players in the mix and see who's the best.

I don't appreciate the negativity.  But given the breaking news, I have to acknowledge that you're an effective prophet.
