My issue with him is he is a 6'0" guard (listed 6'1" but we know how listing go) who doesn't have any physical size. He is a very good outside shooter but is questionable on the dribble drive that is todays game and i think is a major part of how Schertz ultimately wants to play. We have had our share of undersized guards, and have an incoming freshman with the same build, granted a few have produced but todays game is different than it was even two to three years ago. So please don't anyone go into their typical glorydays speech about specific guards of the past, i understand that.

Thompson? He was one of the most efficient players in all of college hoops this year.

I think it may be some Twitter fuckery. If you look at a follow page for example, accounts remain static until there are new adds. So if you have an idea of the last new follow, you can see who is new.

It looks like some old follows got booted to the top. Crank call.. . Disregard.
 
So now that the dust is starting to settle on portal signings for ISU, do you think anyone will be headed to Redshirt status???? I think the prime candidate right now will be Martin. If that happens do you think we will see one more preferred walk-on????

Might be wise for Crawford, but he may not want to.
Martin could if he is the #3 PG. We'll need to see if Gibson is good enough to be Larry's backup.
I hope Neese is ready to battle McCauley for a wing spot.
I'm guessing that Avila might be ok as backup C.

If Avila redshirts then Xavier bledson is the 3rd biggest dude on the roster. Bledson occasionally guarded bigs but it’s not ideal. If this was plan A then there is no depth if there’s any kind of absences from a big.

Martín could redshirt. There are a lot of guards ahead of him but only one other that I’d call a point. (I don’t call Larry a point guard.)

Crawford feels like a dark horse candidate to redshirt. He seems too good to want to waste another year of eligibility playing the kind of minutes he did his freshman year.

- Agreed with the Crawford statement.
- Martin probably will redshirt baring anything unforeseen.
- "We'll see if Gibson is good enough too be Larry's back up?" I'm a Larry fan; but no way did Gibson come here as a grad-transfer to back up Larry. If Larry makes another year of improvement to offensive game, he will be a very serviceable back-up in the MVC.
- Neese, Henry, McCauley are all going to be starting together more times than not this season. I think it becomes of more of question "who is ready to battle Stephens, because he is going to try take your minutes"
- Avila is a complete wildcard this season.
 
This team has 6 seniors who might be easy to project getting the most minutes. Plus 7 undeclassmen. This team feels deep enough to platoon. In reality, we’ll probably see another year of 8-9 players getting most of the minutes from game to game.

I'm going to throw it out that nobody will redshirt. I think redshirting will likely go the way of the dodo bird.

Agree with this somewhat. I think once the Covid athletes are all gone things will swing back to "normal" a little. But I definitely think a redshirt will be more of an exception than a rule going forward.

Feels like no better time to redshirt than right now. With all of the glut effecting high school recruits…why not park yourself at a school and get a year under your belt without using the eligibility with minimal minutes? If there’s any coach that could do it I’d assume it would be the coach who’s already been doing it for quite some time. (Recruiting good players who know it’s better in the long run to wait their turn.)

Im hoping that redshirting still has a pulse.

I think it will be the 2025-26 season when all of the extra COVID eligibility is finally out of the system.

But with the influx of the transfer portal and the NLI stuff, kids are going to be unlikely to "take one for the team" unless being compensated. Welcome to the new normal. Hope I'm wrong.
