My guess on how our minutes are roughly distributed this year:
  • Tamin, Keshawn, Curtis, and Milan will again average about 120 minutes/game combined
  • Heise takes most of the remaining time at guard, 20 minutes/game
  • About 60 minutes in the post between Jackson, Jefferson, Rock and Chatfield
That's the full 200 and I haven't even accounted for Watson hopefully playing 10-15 minutes or any time for Fish, and hopefully Nojus is so good we can't keep him off the floor. In basketball development there's no replacement for live game minutes. Omaha needed to go somewhere where he stood a good chance of playing 20+ minutes/game against good teams and that wasn't likely to happen here.
My goodness, those top four are ridiculous. What a roster we have! I think Jackson will be a big surprise and will get a fair amount of minutes, contribute a good amount of points, and pull down lots of rebounds while being a defensive monster. It's an insanely exciting time, going into a new season, for ISU ball.

Basketball doesn’t have the minimum game rule that football does (yet) - if you play, the redshirt is burned.

For a medical redshirt, you need to have a season-ending injury in the first half of the season, and have played in fewer than 30% of the total games (10). So if he shuts it down for the year, Omaha would be eligible.

For those curious, the total number of games is defined as the number of guaranteed games on the schedule. For Wake, that's 31 scheduled regular-season games plus one conference tournament game, so 32 total. Multiply that by 30% and you get 9.6. The NCAA always rounds up fractional games, so there's the 10 game limit for medical hardship.

He does not appear to be lighting up the non-conference. At least, he is getting playing time off the bench. I wish him well.

Edit: My previous comments were made before I found the injury report on Omaha.
