I'm thinking so too, in which case you can pretty much take it to the bank that ISU will take that last scholarship to the bank.
Preserving offseason/preseason health will be vital this upcoming season. We banked a scholly last year and then Jeremiah Williams got hurt. Basically played down 2 scholarship players all year, and we lost a 3rd when Grill got the boot. The outcome was a tired team with a depleted back court come late February/March. We absolutely can't have that again, because we know what the results are now. A big reason why I'm not a fan of banking the scholarship, but will maintain the trust in TJ that he knows what is best for his team.
Udeh and Dickinson aren't playing at the same time so that transfer isn't surprising. Probably wants a bigger role
Bigger names? Like Nikita Konstantynovskyi? That is one of the biggest names I could find. 6-10 Forward at Tulsa.
Reminder--The Portal deadline doesn't apply to grad transfers so this isn't over even if today is the 'deadline'.
At the same time, after grill was gone, TJ decided **** it were playing everyone including the CEO. It brought new energy to the team.
This team is way deeper, so I hope he doesn't pigeon hole in to a 7 or 8 man roster early, let everyone play and keep the stars for late game situations. Again, we are the deepest in a long time
I fully expect Lipsey, the 3 transfers, King, Biliew, Momcilovic and one of the centers to be in the rotation every night. Then Hamilton, Watson and the other center to get spot minutes depending on the match up. Leaving only Fish out. Not because of lack of talent just too much ahead of him. Year two he'll be a major contributor.
I like this. I might amend to say "2 of the transfers" and then bump Watson into the regular rotation. But all that gets sorted in practice.
I think Watson should be in the rotation every night. Guy was solid as hell last year for a freshman, and should only be better.
Watson is a guy I could see playing 20mpg or 5mpg depending how much his game evolves. His D and rebounding are no issue. Plus, he has length and athleticism to play the 3 or 4.
But his offensive skills were pretty one dimensional as a frosh- spot up corner jumper. I am hoping he can add wing and mid-range jumper to his arsenal this summer.
He's definitely going to be pushed because Gilbert, Jones and Paveletzke have all shown skill off dribble and range on jumper.
I would even go as far as to say his offensive game was nearly 0-dimensional since he was a 21% 3-pt shooter. He has elite perimeter defense potential, but needs to add some O to get extended minutes.
Any reason why the Udeh transfer announcement was retweeted by @ChrisMWilliams ?
Should I read into that?
