Beat me to it.

This is a bummer, I think Greg definitely could have helped us this year. Hopefully he can make good use of this time off and really come back and be an impact player next season.

Makes sense for a lot of reasons. Looking forward to his improvements and health next year!

Wojo confirmed with Homer postgame

Wojo: "We let him decide."

I just want to see how many threads we can start on this.

Hopefully this will help him get healthy. Would have been nice to have some added depth at guard in conference play, but I think we'll be just fine if we can keep playing at the level we've been at for the last couple weeks.

Wojo just confirmed it on the postgame. Wow, I really thought he was needed back.

[Class71]

Appropriate decision.

Gives MU a senior PG for the next three seasons.

Wasn't sure where Greg's minutes were going to come from anyway.  Of course, there will be just as big a log jam next year for minutes.

Yes. As long as there are no injuries.

Just means Markus has to play a lot of minutes each game, like he has so far, he leads BE in minutes played.

Cain has been subbing for Markus only a few minutes a game, maybe that will increase just bit, but if Markus gets in foul trouble, that will hurt.

Elliott probably plays backup role next year behind Koby and Markus, as third guard and healthy.  Then two years as a potential starter.  Best of luck to his rehab and health.

I witnessed the 4 minutes of Elliot pg last year. I don't want to relive that.

I witnessed the 4 minutes of Elliot pg last year. I don't want to relive that.

Any PG is going to look bad when playing one handed.

Sucks for this season but I think is better for the program overall. I really like Greg's potential. We really didn't get to see what he was truly capable of last season due to the injury. I hope he gets healthy and comes out and shocks us all next fall.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I dig it.

[Boozemon Barro]

I would have been happy to see all of Chartouny's minutes go to Elliot.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Does this open the possibility that Cain redshirts next year?  Then Cain and Elliott play their last two years together.

[Its DJOver]

I would have been happy to see all of Chartouny's minutes go to Elliot.

Koby?

[Boozemon Barro]

Koby?

No. This season.

[MuMark]

He is a guard.......doesn't have to be a point guard to have an impact his last 3 seasons with all the different things he can do.

Wojo said in the press conference that once he got healthy it would have taken more time obviously to shake off the rust......after talking it over with his family they thought it would be better if he could finally play healthy starting next season.

Glad everybody is on the same page......would have loved to have him this season but you have to put the players interests first

[skianth16]

This is where we need our 5th year PG to really step up. He's getting there, but we need him to be be able to provide at least 15 solid minutes per game in the Big East. His leadership and role on the team could make a big difference for us in the next few months.
