I think Solomon's injury is not a lingering injury. The fact that he did come back and play some after the surgery makes me feel good about it. Teams always have a use for a guy like Solomon. Not the most talented guy but does a lot of things well for us.
Agreed. Just thinking about the absolute worst case. I really look forward to what a development big man with his size can do as a junior and a senior.
Young is the only guy on the roster with legitimate center size and strength. Having a mauler in the middle of our four-guard line-up, like we did during Monté's senior year, might have worked better than having a slightly undersized finesse guy like Jacobson.
Every time I see an offensive rebound, Jacobson getting pushed around by Big 12 big men, and Lard dying on a screen, I wish Solomon was out there instead.
