Your point is wrong (as usual). Never would have played and would have wasted a year. Instead is now a first team all american who has raised his draft status. It worked to perfection for both SK and the UC program. Im trying to not pick on you but you continue to spout absolute nonsense on multiple threads.
It's really impossible to say how it worked. Nobody will ever really know, whether it's with SK or any player that redshirts. SK obviously had an incredible career, but we just don't know if he would have had a worse career had he not redshirted. And who knows if UC would have been better in prior years had SK had that first year to develop. Impossible to say.
Im not interested in what could have happened. Im interested in what did. It worked to perfection. Also Mick told him he wasnt going to play. How are you going to develop from the bench. Not that hard to surmise which situation would have been better for SK and UC.
I don't get this. I keep reading it on this board so I finally have to say something. What is this based on? Lawrence wasn't doing anything prior to the injury, and didn't do anything post injury. Obviously having a month off hurts for anybody, but how exactly was Lawrence starting to gain confidence? What are you basing that on?
How are you going to develop from the bench? Are you telling me that there is no development going on when you redshirt? If you aren't interested in what could have happened than you might as well ignore the argument. I don't see how you can say it worked to perfection. Maybe if SK had that first year to get some experience the team could have beaten OSU in the tournament. Maybe SK would have been better against Creighton and made a deeper run last year. No way to tell. Either way, SK had a great career but no telling what would have happened if he played that first year, good or bad.

This is based on what Cronin has said and his performance in the 1st half of the Memphis game. I was at the basketball banquet and this was also reiterated by the player I sat with. The player also said that Lawrence was getting better in practice and was gaining confidence in games until the injury. He was not able to participate in any basketball activities for the month he was hurt and this really affected his development. Playing his natural position also next year should make a big difference. This said player mentioned that UC will be visibly bigger due to the newcomers next year, and that Coreante DeBerry practiced with the team recently and should be a force inside next year. He also said that Morman is athletic and fearless, and was dunking on everyone in practice at the end of the year.
Some people need to think for themselves everyone once in a while. So Mick said it? Mick says a lot of things, most with which you need to take with a grain of salt. Like I said, obviously having a month off hurts, but Lawrence wasn't doing anything special prior to his injury, yet I've read numerous times on here that he was starting to break out. Please.
SK was a first team AP AA this year, and would not have been if he had not redshirted. That is inarguable. He has a better chance at the NBA now than he did last year. That is also inarguable. So it did work out perfectly for him. It worked out perfectly for UC as they can tell recruits that they can also achieve what SK did if the stay with the process. It is a great selling point for the coaching staff.
Sure....there is no way to tell....I feel like you just love arguing absolutely senseless topics.
Kilpatrick wasn't going to get many minutes his first year playing behind returning players and one of the top freshman in the country. He got an opportunity to practice and get stronger not to mention correct his jump shot (which was way too low) and improve his ball handling (though it needed work his whole career). There are certainly players you could argue that didn't benefit from redshirting (like Kelvin Gaines) but Kilpatrick is the wrong player to bring up. I am sure if JaQuan Parker had redshirted his sophomore year and was a senior this season, he would have improved even more as well. Just absolutely pointless argument....
But, do we redshirt them...?
@EvanDaniels: Marial Shayok just received a release from his Letter of Intent at Marquette.
Sk would've played over Davis and Dixon. Remember before he git here Mick said he could score ten points easily. We would've gone further in tournament with Lance team and also would been getting better recruits 3yrs ago.That's the point he wouldnt have played. So why even play the what if game? Same with Morman even before he hurt his foot. There is a lot of developing going on when you redshirt but not in game. There is a major difference in refining your game and developing it at full speed. We can say what if about anything. Im interested in talking about what the actual circumstances are, what decision are made, and what the outcome of those decisions have been. In every case under cronin it is my opinion the redshirt has always been the smart choice. He even blew a few of them. Jaquon Parker and Darnell Wilks come to mind. We havent up to this point recruited many upper echelon kids. We recruit four year guys that we develop. When a kid isnt going to play giving him another year in invaluable to his development and future. Sk is the perfect example of that.
how many points did SK avg freshman yr?Sk would've played over Davis and Dixon. Remember before he git here Mick said he could score ten points easily. We would've gone further in tournament with Lance team and also would been getting better recruits 3yrs ago.
