This is exactly right. I would also throw in Wigginton getting to play through his struggles at the end of the KU game into this category as well. Prohm is getting them ready for March.
Why is Conditt not getting more minutes?

Perhaps he was sick and his father didn’t know?
With Lard’s innate foul trouble, we’ll need both Lard and Conditt if we are to go on a run in March imo. If he wasn’t sick, there were opportunities for him to get more than 4 minutes total the last three games. Generally, if you’re going to play them when you need them, you better be good at sneaking them some time when you don’t need them.

We can do that with anything, so yes.
Also, we should have a schedule to have a thread like this for each player. Everyone gets their own day.
George is extremely talented and ahead of schedule. On most teams in the past, he'd probably be a regular rotation player, if not a starter in the post. It doesn't take a whole lot of knowledge of the team to figure out that he's behind a sophomore who was one of the best big men in the Big 12 last year, and a 4th year junior with all kinds of Power Five starting experience.
Maybe Prohm is waiting for him to change the spelling of his name. We know he likes players named "Georges."
Took a bit for my phone to quit suggesting Georges whenever I typed his name in. Old habits die hard.
As refreshing as it was to see him come in and put some meaningful minutes behind him, this was always the expectation. It's a positive that we feel confident enough in our #3 to want to see him playing more, but as has been said a few different times/ways on here, its not anything he did or didn't do imo. This is just what it is. he will still get some PT later this season down the final stretch of conference play, but he's a project still. Certainly a few steps further along than most anticipated, but still a project.
Agreed, there is no reason he couldnt have worked guys like Talley into that game Saturday for 10 minutes or so to keep the starters fresh. I worry the main 3 guys are playing way too many minutes and may wear down as Big 12 play progresses.
I heard he slept with Prohm's wife. Or forgot his ID. Or something along those lines
At this stage Conditt is very inconsistent. Also, he's in terrible shape and undersized (weight/strength do matter for post players).
With that said, he'll be my breakout player for next year. I think the experience he's getting this year will pay big dividends next season.
I could easily see him starting next year or at least becoming a regular rotation player (20 mpg).

The reason is the top 7 were playing very well, developing chemistry, defining roles and the game was in doubt. That is an experience they can build on moving forward. I didn't want to disrupt THT, LW or Lards confidence in order to get player 8-10 in. Prohm isn't going past 8 deep unless it is a big blowout. I cringe thinking the treads we would have if CSP forced Conditt or Talley in and they played poorly contributing to a loss.
I get wanting to see some of our good bench players some minutes but in reality that is a rich program problem and nitpicking Prohm for not getting a couple players extra 5 minutes is a good place for our fans to have. Especially after last weeks treads on Wigginton and Lard's playing time.
"Prohm said he regretted not using freshman big man George Conditt IV, who has played well recently. But with Kansas attacking the hoop at will, the Cyclones rarely got stops."

yeah they exposed him on the defensive end in the pick & roll.
Agreed. He's clearly still a bit raw at this stage. He's very much in need of a year in the weight room, but you can't teach height and he doesn't appear to be a below-the-rim player, so lots of potential there.
Unfortunately with the way the Big XII is, there are no easy games, so it's hard to just slot him in and hope for the best when you're trying to win. I don't mean to suggest that he would cause the game to collapse, but when you're trying to win every game, every possession matters.
Behind more talented and experienced players. He has a bright future though.
One thing is for sure, he looks like a great teammate. Always up and encouraging others from the bench, engaged during timeouts, and brings great energy when he does get minutes. Looks like a fun kid.

If they can't even come in for a few minutes at a time to give the starters a break then why are they even on the team? Talley is a guy who played 25 minutes last year against Big 12 competition, you are telling me if he comes in for 5 minutes our 15 point lead vanishes due to one player? Thats completely ridiculous.
Also, I thought we had depth this year? He's riding the starters just as hard as he's always done, all I've heard all year is how much depth we have but he's not using it if thats the case.
