Who's minutes go up/down? The top ten players already consume 95% of the playable minutes.

How do the new recruits fit in?

Does anyone redshirt?

Any more players released or transfer out?

Are we done recruiting?

[pinstripers]

And the coaching staff...........What happens with Jans?

[ShockCrazy]

My guess is we will have one more player coming in and sitting out as a transfer. During the last coaches show HCGM seems to make an emphasis that they will be looking for a good fit there.

Which most likely would precipitate one of our current scholarship players to move on to other pastures.

[asiseeit]

I think a lot depends on AR's status. If he is healthy and stronger
by mid September his minutes will increase. I suspect Jones will
get opportunities early on. Those two things obviously mean fewer
minutes for DS unless he improves significantly over the summer.
If GM has that kind of discussion with him what might he do? As
for Jans, I hope they do what they can to retain him. Valuable guy !

[1972Shocker]

Who would be most likely to move on from the staff at this point. Chris Jans or Greg Heiar. I think both are capable of running their own programs quite well. If Coach Heiar moved on and Coach Jans stayed I would expect he would move over into Coach Heiar's spot. Perhaps even being designated as the Associate Head Coach again.

[WUpigsooie]

I would guess that DS sees more minutes because he will be much improved. Coach has a history of transfer guards having big senior years and see no reason Smith can't do it as well.

It also seems like Rashard needs more than 17min/game but who do you take them from?

[Steeleshocker]

I think Coach Heiar is most likely to get the next opportunity to be a head coach. Question is if there's an opportunity worth leaving WSU for.

How do the new recruits fit in? Hard to say.

Does anyone redshirt? Maybe, maybe not.

Any more players released or transfer out? Maybe, maybe not.

Are we done recruiting? Never done recruiting or shaving.

My definitive response shown above.

Especially, with the team we have returning. I am sure all the Coaches would like to enjoy the fruits of their work. But sometimes you have to move if the right opportunity presents itself.

Agree...to soon for Jans.

My definitive response shown above.

I couldn't decide whether to give you a "Like" or Thanks" so I gave you neither.

Can the Admins Add a "smite" button?

[1972Shocker]

Can the Admins Add a "smite" button?

They can but risk crashing the system due to capacity limitations.
