You got me.

I won’t be surprised to see him and Ditzler both go somewhere else and have massive seasons and careers elsewhere. Even when you show that you deserve to be on the floor, we keep you on the bench and then get sad that everybody has no legs and comes up short repeatedly down the stretch in games.
Just curious as to what you've seen from Dotzler to make you think he deserves to be on the floor right now?

Nothing. But they burned his redshirt this year only to never give him any opportunity to play. Would you be shocked if that didn’t sit well?
Green is a great example. We haven’t had a chance to see him all year really to demonstrate whether he should be playing more. Last night we did and he was very good. And got benched for it.
These guys want to play. When they are never given any opportunity, it should not be shocking if they go elsewhere and get a shot. All I’m saying.

We will be straight up purchasing 1-2 starters a year. This year it was Ashworth, Baylor before him, Hawkins before that. When you factor in guys like Johnson and McAndrew - expected to be impact players from the moment they get here, a la Art/Trey/Nembhard - we don’t need future starters the way we used to. In fact it would be better to hire specialists who realize their role than wanna be feature players who can’t feature.
Whether or not Green stays isn’t as large a matter as what minutes he can give NOW. And that’s in question. Making a few hustle plays doesn’t make you playable, just ask Fred.
The evidence we have is that Green is in for a spot weld to hold things together for a quick minute or two. I’ll leave it to Mac to know whether or not he’s capable of more - and with our situation of our bench being what it is and the 4 spot being what that is, it’s damning that he can’t get in.
