Has anybody asked in a press conference asked TJ why Watson has not played at all this year?

Every year there is one guy where the fans ask “why isn’t he playing?”

Tristan Enuruna
Terrence Lewis
Xavier Foster
Omaha
Etc

Sometimes a player just isn’t as good as the other players in the team. Trust the coaches.
I'm not that concerned about it, but the fact he was on the bench and didn't log a minute today says it has nothing to do with talent. He's injured, in the doghouse, or something else is going on.

That’s a good point. He looked really good in spots last year. Something must be going in this year.

I think it’s to be expected on a fan site. Not even going to touch why people ask about 4 and 5 star kids, that should be obvious.

I went back and forth with some people on Twitter about this earlier. Why are we so damn obsessed with a player that hasn’t showed a ton? Obviously there is a reason he isn’t playing. We are extremely talented and deep this year. He isn’t good enough otherwise TJ would be playing him. That’s it. There are others who TJ believes are better, and it doesn’t have to be more than that. This gets so old every year.

Not sure if I agree. I have seen enough out of Watson to say he should at least be getting in for the last few minutes of blowouts. He was dressed for the game so it's probably not an injury. Maybe he is in the doghouse for something, or maybe he told TJ he wants to transfer at the end of the year so his minutes are going elsewhere?

Seriously?? Why? Why is this being asked in most threads? Why does it have its own thread?

We legitimately might be the 2nd or 3rd best team in the country and this is what people are worried about? Why isn’t our 3rd or 4th player off the bench from last year is not getting minutes on a current team probably better and much deeper?

It’s the last minutes of blowouts….who cares who plays? This isn’t junior high. He seems happy in team videos and on the beach during games.

Can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m curious about how a kid who seems like a really good, hard worker is doing? Is he hurt? Is he looking to redshirt and transfer out?

There is no second guessing the coaches or anything like that. For me it is just genuine interest in what’s going on with a kid who I want to succeed after watching him for a couple seasons.
