Brooks hurt his knee.
last year we had a 6 man, but im not talking about us. im talking about college ball in general.
college kids can play 30 minutes a game without a problem. you aren't gonna sit your better players just to give others PT. the best player dominate the minutes.
he did have 3 dnp's but that was the first week of feb.
last year we went to a 6 man rotation, does nobody remember that? it was rare for a 7th to get 10+. the 6 were getting 25+ every night.
I remember...but we played like a snail. There was enough time to catch a breath. It was a non issue. We walked it up the court and often times spent the next 5 seconds getting set up after crossing half court.
So now we are questioning our depth? Lol.. watch these kids play and tell me they're not better then previous benchs
its not questioning our depth, its pointing out that the vast majority of teams attempt to get down to a solid 7 man rotation going into march.
I think you are probably right. In March you have to be able to trust every player you put in the game and usually there just aren't that many players you can trust that much. So the rotation gets down to 6-7...maybe 8 at most.
Cronin has to know they will be in the right place, take care of the ball, take smart shots, and not shrink in the moment. I'm not sure if we will be 10 deep in that regard. I hope we can be at least 7 deep if not 8.
Jenifer and Brooks are for sure going to play every game and be rotation guys. Clark can't play 40 minutes, so Scott or Williams will at least have to play there. We likely won't go small like that though. So Scott. And Williams can back up the 2 and 3. I don't see us playing less than 9 in any game.

With this team I could see 8 or 9 - Jenifer, Brooks, Scott or Williams depending on the matchups. I am even a little iffy on Brooks. A lot of the things he did the other night just looked awkward. Did anyone else notice this? I wonder if Mick would go small and Scott would take some minutes from him.

To clarify I see Jenifer with the most at 20, Scott or Brooks at 20 combined and Williams at 10. Moore could see 5-7 max. At the end of the season I want to see the starters getting 32-35 minutes.

I am curious why you say that? In the sweet 16 year we had 4 guys at 6'4" or under and they probably played most of the game with Gates as the 5th. We could put 3 wings on the floor at 6'5" or taller this year. I would not see any problem with doing that for 5 minutes or so when Gary is out. It would depend on matchups of course...but it certainly doesn't scare me. I think I would almost prefer it over a back up stretch 4 in many instances. Especially if we have Evans and Williams in who are very athletic and have some ups. Even with Cumberland who has a big body could maybe put a body on a forward and not lose much ground.
