That is great news. Thanks for making the discussion on this even more fun.

With the news that Nsoseme can help right away, and we know that Clark and Washington and Moore will be gone after this year. I think we will redshirt Clark so he is here after this year. Its going to be a bold move to help Clark secure POY and #1 draft pick in 2019. Big moves ahead fellas

He does need development on the offensive end, but the kid is an animal of the glass and protecting the rim...

Anyone can "help"

Do we need 7 bigs on the roster? Not a chance. So who's the odd man out? It doesn't have to be a red shirt frosh. It can be a returning vet. Someone is NOT getting minutes in meaningful games. Probably more than 1 of them.

It's an interesting question. We have limited offensive bigs galore ready to go after this year. Nsoseme could be the best of the bunch if scoring isn't a big deal.

Over half of our games aren't going to be that "meaningful"(/challenging). What kind of experience do these guys have a chance to get when we're drilling teams? That's what matters imo for young bench guys. Maybe 7 is too many but if the FR are better than the guys already here, they should pass them up on the depth chart. So instead of redshirt, we might see guys ride the bench and decide to transfer. Obviously no one prefers that, but I wouldn't totally rule it out.

Again though, it'll play itself out. When the time comes, the situation for each player will become more clear.

Remember when Brooks went down last year. That left a huge hole in our depth chart at the center position. God for bid we get any injuries, but it always nice to have a lot of guys on the roster that can play, it's a long season and by season end it would be nice to have the choice to rest a player if they need it.

An insider says that Eli can help all of a sudden minds change, when Chad describes him as a rim protector and rebounder that needs work offensively what bearcat of the past does that remind you of? Would you want another year of that?

"Help" is a pretty subjective term, the ballboy, grad assistants, cheerleaders, mascot and quadri all help. The question is can he be productive. I still say if there is a candidate it is Nsomome. The fact he has improved this much in what 6 years, another year to learn and get bigger would serve him well.

This is barring any injuries that would require redshirts

I'm doing nothing more than speaking on what I've seen after watching 5 of the 6 team workouts since all of the new guys have arrived. Doesn't take long to remember why I don't often share info here...
