Its at least nice he will just be a sophomore. He and Shaq could see very significant playing time in their 2nd season.
Realistically the young guys Shaq & JDIII and the incoming the freshman should see more time since our conference isn't going to be gauntlet that Big East once was. I also contend the bench should have played more this season anyway tough conference or not. Cronin, in our Big East experience, tends to shorten the bench once conference play starts.
