Demarion Watson

He can always redshirt. Just come up with an injury, we’ve seen it many times before.
Why jump to these conclusions?
It could be that he’s a veteran guy and getting 2 mins in a blowout don’t mean much, so might as well let the walking play. Kelderman and Rock playing is kind of irrelevant given their positions.
You could be right, but I don’t think jumping to the possibility of disciplinary reasons is fair.
I would fully expect that if you put out full depth chart Watson would be ahead of Fish. But it really doesn’t matter. There’s rotation guys and non-rotation guys. Playing time in garbage time for non-rotation guys might not follow some expected pecking order.
I believe he played as a true Frosh. So he should still have a redshirt year available regardless, right?
Yeah you're right those were all just hypotheticals and absolutely none of them could be true. He could've just as well not gotten in because of what you mentioned as well. We as fans don't need to know honestly. And it doesn't really matter. There is definitely a reasonable explanation though.
I had friends of mine in our group chat going on and on about how it was criminal TJ didn't play him in the Auburn game and it was a big reason why we lost. That annoyed the heck out of me.
Thanks. I remembered the interview- but not the game in which the segement on Mr. Watson played.

My son was in Calc II with him their freshman years. He is obviously very smart and a true STUDENT athlete. He's very humble and quiet. He knows he has a role on a great team and can enjoy it with his brothers while getting a degree from a school he loves. Too me, it's that simple.
Technically yes but he wouldn’t be able to use it until next year. Only chance to use one this year is medical redshirt.
That's not it. It's not about rotation minutes. It was the fact that he didn't go in at all when they cleared the bench with 2 minutes left. It's a legitimate question. Not sure why this is so difficult for the the thread topic dictators to figure out.
That’s not even close to true. Posters started crying about his playing time even before the season started.
It's interesting that Watson hasn't played considering he played 15+ minutes in each post season game. He didn't play much last year early on either, he was more or less a mop up guy too. Late in the year, TJ trusted him more than he trusted Milan defensively and that got DW mintues. This year it seems like TJ has gone with Heise and a smaller lineup instead of going with Watson like he did late last year. It seems like that's the direction TJ wants to go but last year his playing time swung late in the year when we needed his defense, it'll be interesting to see how the rest of this season plays out.
I mean heise easily guy barely scores and would say Demarion is a better defender
Heise is so much better on defense than Watson.
Lol, yeah right. These guys are competitive by nature, if you think a scholarship athlete is just grateful to be on the team I don't know what to tell you.
Point #2, we've seen TJ already run off numerous players because they weren't good enough, you think he's just going to keep a scholarship open as a charity case because he enjoys going go class?
There was one game last year we would have lost except for his play off the bench. I wouldn't give up on him.
