The rotation this year

210-215 this year 225 - 230 next year

The most interesting development to me now is the backup minutes at the 4 and 5. We know Roby and Copeland will each play 30 minutes (even more in big/close games). That leaves about 20 minutes a game left for Tanner Borchardt, Dedoch Chan, and now Brady Hieman. 

 

I feel like im pretty confident piecing together the rest of the rotation. But Hieman not RS is throwing a wrench in my predictions for the front court.

If he ends up not redshirting he better be looking at playing a minimum of 5 minutes a game every game. I just don’t see at this point in his career how he could be giving us that much more than tanner would that we would burn the chance to have him here 5 years.

Brady basically said in Robin Washut's media day write up that he isn't redshirting, and he feels he can contribute.

That's fine by me. Kids generally don't want to straight out of H.S. If he gets injured, Heiman could receive a medical RS. Spit-ballin' a bit.

 

I personally hope Brady brings some fire off the bench, something that Jordy didn't seem to bring his toolbox very often. Grab some defensive rebounds, outlet the basketball, provide screens, a few offensive boards even, make his bunnies, and make his free-throws... you know, just the basic fundamentals of a big man. I'm optimistic that #45 will be a decent contributor on a great team so he can develop into being a bigger contributor in the following years.

We haven't had this in quite a while so it's exactly what we should hope for.

Read this as well. If the kid can contribute, and has actually made strides. Give him his shot.

Gone, and hopefully soon forgotten. Good riddance

Miles said he never told Heinman he planned to redshirt him. Said they'd see how the start of the season goes first and if he's not playing come mid-late November, they can revisit. I don't think anything has been officially determined here. We'll just have to see how it plays out.

Miles confirmed that Borchardt is on scholarship

At the end of that he said it is nearly a lock that he plays this year.

It is going to be nice having a healthy Copeland all year.  He moved like an old man much of the season.  When he got healthier we got better.

He said Isaiah had plantar fasciitis. That's not ideal.

He mentioned Allen, Nana, and Amir as guys he expects to step up. No mention of Thor or Chan. Sounds like Thor and Davis (with health issues) may be the guys on the outside looking in.

I must have missed that. Point remains that we'll just have to see how it plays out. I don't necessarily think anythings fully determined at this point.

Does that... could it mean...

WE FILLED OUR SCHOLARSHIPS!?!

Question for those of you who are experienced basketball players or coaches: Is it realistic to expect Brady to add any additional weight in the next 4-5 weeks of official practice? And if so, how much?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but don't players usually lose a little weight once the season starts?

Thats what i was kind of thinking. Im guessing weight lifting decreases some and conditioning increases, which should equal some weight loss.

Glad to know that Tanner has earned it and kept it. That's a good thing. NU needs inside assistance with practice reps and an occasional boost in a lineup that might need a bit of energy.

Dedoch will find minutes and I don't necessarily think they will mostly be at the 5. He's realistically more like 6'7 if the team picture is any indication. He's no heavier than most of our guards and I think he's going to play a solid amount of the 3 which I would like to see him at. He's skilled with the ball isn't afraid to shoot the three and will match up defensively with players at this position. Plus we don't have that many players who fit well at that position. Maybe I'm forgetting someone but who do people think will fill that middle (size wise) spot for us.
