no way Vogt can do it all year, but luckily his back up will be back before the end of 2019.


we ran scott and cumberland into the ground last year but i don't remember anybody saying just play a guy that hurts us, so they can rest.

Not sure where you get that idea. Not developing depth was a common issue of Cronin and something many (including myself) complained about.

But Cronin's scheme also allowed players to rest. There were times last year where we had Cumberland just stand at half court and we played 4v4 on offense to give Cumberland a breather. Defensively Cumberland would also find ways to take possessions off. Scott seems to have the energy, but Brannen's system seems more energy intensive on him as well.

Center is an even harder position to rest at and the one where developing depth is almost essential. If Vogt gets into foul trouble - which he has avoided much better than I expected - we are going to be playing an unknown a lot of minutes. Not saying we should lose games to give depth experience (though I believe some argued that it would be worth it in prior years), but up 20 against Vermont, we should be developing the depth behind Vogt.
