INSIDER: What I know about Rasir Bolton waiver timeline
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
I'm saying I really can't comment on Bolton's waiver because I don't think any of us really know what was going on inside those walls at Penn State basketball.
Players should be able to transfer just like coaches do!
Sounds good. Just wanted to know when I should dig out my nut cup.
Grab it now...
though 3-4 weeks can easily turn into 3-4 months when the NCAA is involved to make a ruling.
We’re either getting him for three years starting this year or getting him for three years starting next year. So what is the nut cup for?
We could use him this year, certainly, but it's not the end of the world if he can't. We'll definitely need the other guys to step up if he's not.
We’re going to need him in 22/23 as well. If he gets eligible this year then the year after he leaves we’ll have people whining about “missing Rasir Bolton”.
We really need him to be eligible if we want to make the tournament. If he’s not able to play this year, guys like Jackson, Grill, Lewis and Leech are going to have to play a ton right away and be able to contribute. We’d really only have two guards with any experience in Haliburton and Nixon. Bolton would be a huge boost for this years sucess. With Bolton, I think we can make the tournament.
The ceiling of this years team is higher with Bolton available... plus the staff has seemingly been planning on Rasir being in the top 7 rotation if not a starter.
Not the end of the world if Rasir needs to sit out but it would be at least a solid tap below the belt if he is forced to.
CBB is a guard's game. You need 4-5 good ones to compete at the highest levels.
Haliburton and Nixon sound like a good 1-2 to start, and I am confident at least a few of Lewis, Griffin, Jackson, Grill, and Leech will turn into good players for us.
And yes, I said Lewis and Griffin -- both or either could be a late bloomer.
Bolton is far more proven than any of them, however, and has more experience. We have a far larger cloud of uncertainty about the roster and rotation going into the season if we cannot play Bolton this year, though imagining him as a RS-sophomore after a year to improve, itching to come onto the floor and take over the team is a nice thought, too.
Putting this in economic terms, you seem to have a very high discount rate. I tend to have a relatively low one. Nobody is going to care about a meh year in 2019-2020 when RS-senior Bolton is CPOTY and leading the team on a deep run in March in both postseasons.

If you don't always have it on that's on you.
Right, but it’s just as likely we need him for the same reason 4 years from now. Or we might even need him for something bigger and better. It’s a crapshoot and shouldn’t affect people’s balls in any way.
