Jeenathan should be on the floor every minute he's able to next year, literally 38-40 MPG in meaningful games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete and utter disappointment. Based on his ranking, he just never panned out, looked lost whenever on the floor majority of the time, and just looked unmotivated. A real let down. Best of luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the open roster spot on this team. The team had a massive stretch of minus +/- with him on the floor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love him as a heart and soul guy but dang hopefully this doesn’t turn off Williamson and/or Mading. A lot of bigs not enough wings and guards.

A lot of bigs not enough wings and guards. I think this is fantastic for those young guys. Brock knows what it takes to play at the highest level...heck he will now go down as our winningest player of all time. Brock will understand what his role is next year and that might only be five minutes a game. But he will make those young bigs, including Skogman still, much better.

In all seriousness though it doesn’t count as a scholarship for us so it’s not like it’s taking up a roster spot from a guard recruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is can he improve defensively and be more consistent with the outside shots. And his age will be a deterrent. Sorry to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing 5 bigs ahead of them and another incoming big could make someone like Mading reconsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I would hope brocks return doesn't make the coaching staff feel obligated to play him meaningful minutes because he is older and more experienced. Basically hope minutes are earned With that said glad he is returning and taking full advantage of his scholarship and pursuit of an education 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I feel the coaches already knew Brock was coming back. Kuluel was probably aware of this i bet. Doubt it’d make much of a difference if at all. I don’t blame Brock for playing again if he’s getting his masters or something. Might as well if you’re on campus and still love the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't shortchange what he brings in practice. You know he works his butt off and will push and challenge these guys to get better. Almost another assistant coach in uniform. I like it! Plus I believe his scholarship doesn't count against our total count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBoy Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 So if Brock doesn't count, I see 10 scholarships already handed out for next year? Still three openings i believe. 1. Hardnett 2. Brewton 3 Segu 4. Williams 5. Fagan 6. Maceo Jack 7. Mballa 8. Skogman 9. Zaakir 10. Kuluel Walk-on: Saleh Does Bivens return too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking it a step forward. Starting lineup: PG: Segu SG: ? Wing: Williams SF: Hardnett PF: Mballa Open competition for the 2 guard spot. Brewton or Jack. With whoever losing out becoming an instant option off the bench. Then you have the plethora of bigs that will earn their roles. Our obvious and glaring need is PG. Another wing or SG would be great. If there’s roster room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
