Julian Rishwain has not played since Dec 30th

only talking 3 minutes or so a half, to help give rest and prevent another big injury. What if Condon goes down, here we go getting into small ball and we will be in trouble. Both guys I mention are good Ft shooters. RS are probably in play, but the team could use their help in short stints right now. They know the system also. Not expecting anything to happen, but if they don’t get used, and we lose out first game, there will be questions. FYI

 

Sounds reasonable but our staff's trust threshold appears high. I'd bet they keep it short.

 

You don’t have these guys lose a year of eligibility unless they implore TG to play.

 

I am not sure about that. Teams that get deep into the tournament either have proven commodities that just can’t be stopped by any program or they have an unknown or unknowns that emerge and step up onto the big stage.

I cannot see TG risking his reputation of bringing s one year guy to a major program and having him languish on the bench all season. That will cause those transferring to have some reluctance in making a commitment to him and the school.

Either Rishwain is hurt, is not what he was cracked up to be, or is that X-factor that Aberdeen has suddenly become. I hope it is the last possibility.

 

I thought TFG recently stated that Rishwain is still not at 100%

 

He's said so several times. Frankly, I think it's just a smokescreen to get him another year of eligibility, which is smart.

 

I hear ya, Tampa, but you never know how they feel going forward, might throw away a year of ball knowing playing in the NCAA is better than a stick in the eye, LOL. Shimmy might want to go back to Germany, Rishwain might want to go to work, ya never know.

 

Rishwain likely would be playing if he didn’t intend to play next year.

 

Shimmy might need a full 4 years of playing ball to prepare himself for a pro career. We will see what happens on Friday. Golden has talked about playing him, but Golden also acknowledged that Shimmy is not in very good playing condition. If I’m the coach, I don’t play him.
