Odd that you would downplay that.

If you take trey as an experienced role model. Sure go for it.

I'll gladly see his exit for someone who can ball.

Exactly - I don't see the value in keeping around deadweight for "leadership" purposes.

Daryl Morsell was an awesome leader an example for our, then, young guns.

I'll leave it up to Shaka...with 15 scholarships there is plenty of room for both.

Shaka isn't going to abandon both his beloved RGV brand and the poster child of it. Having Caedin hit the road and staring for Humbolt State next year is the umtimate sign RGV failed.

Ya I fully don't understand the "hey guys listen to the 22 year old who's pegged to the end of our bench" as the experienced D1 athlete who they should be listening to.

Im sure it makes a lot more sense in the NBA when you have a 38 year old who's been in the league for 16 years, who just doesn't have the ability anymore.

how about trey Norman coming as the 7th man for Dayton?

BCHoopster

Bottom line, you can keep one of the centers if you bring in one, to me, we have seen enough of Caedin.  If he stays, which is possible, he gets his degree next year, then he is gone. Like to have at least 3 scholarships going forward.

Galway Eagle

I think a lot of this is answered by the teams goal for next year. If they feel they can retain everyone two years and that's the next big year then they might just bring in a couple decent guys to get us back to competitive and in the tournament. If they're trying to get back to a 2 seed competing for a conference championship then they're going to have to drop big bags and probably 4 of them

Do you seriously not understand this? Or are you being intentionally obtuse? Because I have heard coaches at all levels and in all sports talk about experienced players who set an example for newcomers. Leading the off-season drills. First in the weightroom, etc.

I am not saying that Tre is that - I have no idea. But if he is, and Shaka wants him around, that's fine with me. There are 15 roster spots. 8-9 are actual rotation players...3-4 are up-and-coming...so that leaves a couple glue guys who can play in a pinch but carry the culture of the program. Basically they are taking up spots that walk-ons used to take. No big deal to me.

Yeah, as usual you can't counter any legitimate argument. I win again.

Next year is make or break for Shaka.

Adds -sultan thinks Trey Norman should stay- to sultans "wins"

I'll chalk that one right up next to being a projo. Pro Trey? It autocorrects to progress, so its pretty ironic.

I mean this in the most respectful way both to you and the players (18 etc) but a walk on can serve that exact same role you just described and provide the same benefit to the team.

But there aren't room for walk ons post House. There are 15 roster spots and Shaka is filling out all 15 scholarships.

There is nothing wrong with Tre or Caedin on the roster. There is something wrong if they're expected to significantly contribute.

Lol. Nice troll.

Quote from: Elonsmusk on Today at 08:46:17 AMLol. Nice troll.

That was in response to a poster saying Shaka could potentially build next years roster with a rebuilding mindset and retain everyone.

"Bring in a couple decent guys to get us back to competitive" was the exact quote.

How is that acceptable after this season? Do you think that will tolerated?
