I hadnt heard anything about Walker likely playing a lot, is there any comments from the coaching staff expecting a lot from him this year? Ive read some things about Blackwell getting early playing time.
CSP has brought him up multiple times and talked about bringing him in like he did with TH.

People don't pay attention if don't think Jackson is starting. Coach said he's our most consistent player. He will be one of our better players this year.

That would be a big year over year leap.

How so? It's not like he was a bad player last year. I feel like there are far too many people on here that think they know basketball when they don't. Tre Jackson does sooo much right, he just lacks some athletcism and size. He is gonna be a very good four year player.

I hope Walker blows people out of the water and before the recruiting cycle ended I thought he was the best player in the class, its just going to be really difficult for him to get much playing time this year. Blackwell should be a regular part of the rotation though, maybe even more then Foster.

Jackson has lived in the gym getting better. Let's save judgement till the dude actually plays this season. He may have improved big time.

He was coming on at the end of last season as well. I liked his trajectory through the season. One of the few bright spots in terms of development that I saw.

Of course he is. I just wish we could have a healthy full roster for once. It seems like we've always got at least one or more players out. I guess that's probably the norm.... it just seems like we're never fully healthy.
