Couldn't agree more, he handles the ball to well not to be a good player at this level. Deceptively long and deceptively quick! The type of PG that can put up decent numbers across the board, stat sheet stuffer!

You hit the nail on the head. His handle allows him to do the stuff he does.
Wearin Red?
I have recieved some information that RJ will be red shirted this season. This would be a little suprising to me, however I think it is the right move. Does anyone else have any information on this decision? Is it a done deal?
I was working under the impression that assuming Jake Kelly get's cleared then Jake Odum will for sure be red shirted for sure. I also would not be suprised to see on or both of the Eitel brother red shirted. Just was a little surpised when I heard this.
NOTE: That I am looking for more information to support this, I am not positive this information is correct.

I expected Jake and RJ to redshirt.

I spoke with coaches as late as last Saturday and didn't get that impression from them. They indicated they really had no idea how things would pan out. They know I couldn't care less so I don't expect they'd sugar coat things!
My information indicates that the decision to red shirt (or not) will be completely up to the players involved. The way the process was explained to me is that after practices get started (and individual workouts are finally going now), coaches and players will sit down and discuss the role each kid is expected to play. An educated decision will then be made, but players are never forced to red shirt.
Coaches have not been able to watch open gym sessions due to NCAA rules, so they only know what they hear about the play of individual players during these sessions. From what I've heard, things have gone very well, and we have lots of pieces to choose from.
As far as red shirting goes, RJ's position is a little tougher to predict than our guards. We are loaded with guards, but our post play, like all mid-majors, is a little more in question. This is obviously because don't have as many athletes to choose from; we're never sure who will remain healthy; and there are surprises every year.
We'll know we've arrived when all freshmen red shirt routinely.
Personally, I don't care who red shirts as long as we win. I hope we can attack the .500 barrier this year as we build toward even brighter days beyond.

Thanks for sharing! That's great insight... Although I wouldn't be surprised if he is going to red shirt and that decision might have already been made unofficially. But who knows?

I we don't break .500, I won't expect any brighter days.
Will be playing for Athletes In Action in late May to early June. Give 'em hell, RJ!
Was a beat in the Butler game. Sure he missed a few free throws, but without his offensive game, we lose by 40. Does anyone know if he still has medical problems? He was sat a couple times when he had the hot hand and I didn't understand it?
Also, anyone know if RJ is going to set the Sycamore record for drawing charges? He's like our Shane Battier.

I want to congratulate RJ and Sycamore Fan on his player of the game award the other night. He certainly deserved it.
