I mean Caupain had Guyn, Evans had (Thomas, Cobb, or Johnson) and Cumberland had Johnson ahead of them. Clark had nobody. Nobody saw Jenifer having the year he had from 3 when they were asking for more of Logan Johnson early on. Probably not even the coach.

Harvey has Cumberland, Williams, and Cumberland ahead of him.

Unfortunately Lojo is out of the starting lineup at St Marys and only played 3 minutes last night... Since the first game of the year when he played 36 minutes, his minutes have really declined...… Hopefully he can turn it on as the season moves forward.

He's probably going to need to develop a bit of a shot to play out there. He was a really good fit for Cronin's system.

Samari Curtis also has 3 total points in 3 games for a 1-2 Nebraska team. I really don’t think we are going to miss many of these guys. You’d think we lost 4 all Americans the way some talk on here. I don’t even think we lost 2 starters out of all the ones that left.

I mean I have no idea if we’re going to miss them or not.

But Jarron cumberlands first 4 games went 3, 11, 0, 2

A guys first few games in a new system is zero indication of how long term valuable they will be.

Samari could be a star or he could be a dud. But it we won’t be able to tell by his first few games. I mean by that measure, Keith Williams entire freshman year would have made him a useless player.

Agree, they could be good. But we won’t know for years if they are. That’s why it’s not that big a deal. I doubt a new coach wants to be stuck with 4-5 players he didn’t recruit in hopes that one of them turns out good. He could do that with players he recruits. At least he would control that.

Is that his first action if the season ? Since he hasn’t been playing, I haven’t followed along

I guess this only applies to non-UC players?
