Tyrance...impacts us none.

Gallegos...could kill us against FGCU with Biggs already being out that game. 

Hawkins...IMO, impacts us none as I expected a redshirt out of him anyways

Wow. I wonder if there was an incident that led to both of these things happening. Referring to Tyrance and Gallegos.

I would say you are spot on with how each will impact us based on each situation.  Gallegos is the only one that really hurts.

If we can beat FGCU without Ray, it bodes well for next year.  That's a silver lining in all of this, right?

 

Feel bad for Hawkins but fortunately he's still feeling out a possible redshirt year and maybe that's the thing that tips the scales one direction vs. the other.

 

Tyrance leaving is curious.  Makes one wonder if it has anything to do with what got Ray in trouble.  Sends  a signal to the rest of the guys not to get in trouble.

Who's starting now?

[Miles ahead of the rest]

Jordan left to focus on school 

[Norm Peterson]

Jordan left to focus on school 

Um, yeah.  Probably time to do that, huh?  This being, like, his 4th year with the basketball program and all.

 

In other words, I don't buy that as being the reason.

[Silverbacked1]

In their freshman year I would see JT and Rey at some Southwest games.

Parker will now have to play major minutes friday.  Glad we didn't run him off.  Disappointed in Ray; this team needs senior leadership, and that means him.  Not a good start from that standpoint.

[hskr4life]

Sad to hear about Ray... Jordan decision was interesting.  Sounds like Hawkins may and should redshirt.

Jordan also has a daughter, and this just gives him more time to focus on school and his personal life.  I've known Jordan personally since we were kids and I can almost guarantee it wasn't due to disciplinary issues

What's usually best case scenario for return from a stress fracture?

 

Tryance came in and did things when needed last year.  It's a big loss if we start getting injured.

 

Ray, Ray, Ray...what have you done?

[Silverbacked1]

This starting to look like it will be a game of who is left on Friday. Still like our chances.

[Concrete]

Who's starting now?

Guessing we'll go with the same 5 that we did against UNK.  Webster/Shields/Petteway/Smith/Pitchford

 

Personally I think we'd be better off putting Pitchford at the 3, Petteway at 4, and Smith at 5.

[Red Rum]

So this is because we felt sorry for FGCU for only having possibly 6 scholarship player right?

 

Its too early to start feeling like we can't have nothin.

[hskr4life]

Good thing is, we still have a guard (Benny) to come off the bench!

[Silverbacked1]

At least the coaches have some time to game plan this. And we do have some guys who have played on the big stage. Not like we are starting 3 freshman, a junior and a former ball boy.

And FGCU isn't the same team that made the run late last year.

Expect #Nebrasketball to have the same starting five Friday night as it did vs UNK: Webster, Petteway, Shields, Pitchford and Smith.

   

[throwback]

Very disappointing with Rey - not how you should start your senior year - going to make Friday's game that much tougher. 

 

Tyrance also may be just seeing the writing on the wall - it'd have to be tough as a walk-on to go from getting a good chunk of competitive minutes last year to have very little chance to see the floor this year other than in garbage time. Perhaps he wanted to use the preseason practices to let the rotation play out & see where he stacked up before making a decision. 

 

Hawkins' injury probably means that Fuller plays this season now, unless Coach Miles wants to go with a really short bench vs FGC - with Hawkins, Rey, and Biggs out Friday and with Vooch likely not to play, that's 8 scholarship players available vs FGC including Fuller. Coach could try to go with the other 7 plus Peltz to try to preserve Fuller's ability to redshirt, but my guess would be Fuller plays Friday and doesn't redshirt now.

 

It certainly would be short-sighted to burn a redshirt just because we're short-handed for one game, but I'd guess Fuller was leaning toward playing and not redshirting and these occurrences will just make the final decision easier.

 

Does Peltz see minutes in the first half too Friday? So maybe a 9-man rotation?

[hskr4life]

So did Ray sit out Monday due to this incident too?? or was he really hurt?

[FredsSlacks]

Webster, Petteway, Shields, Pitchford and Smith is still a solid starting lineup

 

bench

- parker

-fuller

-Rivers

-Vooch

walkons.

 

We'll be fine.

[hskr4life]

Echo what was said above.  Still a pretty good though young starting five.  And a pretty decent top 8 when you throw in Fuller Rivers and Parker.  Should be fine.
