Asbjorn Midtgaard 7'0 C 2017 a Shocker!

According to HCGM, McDuffie was playing the 2 at that point.

Yep...CJ does not know the two so MM played it.

Damn I thought this was a thread on the Danish guy. My bad.

Shockernet isn't shockernet without massive thread hijacking. Sometimes it's funny and other times its frustrating. IDK in this case, there's not much to laugh about, but aside from the box scores, there's not much info about Asbjorn.

I am really looking forward to seeing him play when he gets here, but I'm thinking it might be two years, as we will be stacked next year and IIRC, Marshall has stated in the past that he would have really liked to have redshirted Stutz and he tried to do the exact same thing with Rauno so we have that precedent. I'm expectin Asbjorn to redshirt next year based on that.

Interesting thought on redshirting him. We got the depth next year. Except when we play giraffs. I still have this nightmare against Louisville this season. Bring in the Dutch coach!!! Lol

I suppose if we wanted to go stupid long next year we could play AM 5, RN 4, teach DW the 3, MM 2, AR 1.

Haha...that would be funny to see. For a minute. Lol

Its not likely but it is possible.

I believe DW is athletic enough to play the 3, he would need to be able to shoot the 3 but he already hits from 18' regularly so its not unreasonable to think he could hit 3s. Rauno at the 4 might be a bit of a stretch, he does know the position however and IIRC he was actually listed as a PF when he first came to WSU. He's fairly agile for someone his size and has a good outside shot so I believe he would do ok. We know McDuffie can play the 2 and I believe he would be highly effective, especially on defense.

It would be a very entertaining lineup and probably highly effective.

Other than DW at the 3, it's not really that far fetched. Even if you move MM to the 3 and have ZB or LS playing the 2, we're going to be bigger than most teams in the country.

Here's the thing, our three headed monster of DW, SM, and RN at the 4 and 5 is going to be tough to beat next year. 20-25 minutes a game for each of them would not be that surprising. If AM comes in and can take any minutes from those three, I'm going to be very, very excited about his future.

I for one expect Mitgaard to play few minutes next year. We have Shaq, McDuff, Willis, Kelly and Nurger. There's just not much more than mop up available to a young post player learning the system and D1 ball.

A problem with this is that 4, and maybe all 5, will be gone after next year. AM needs as many D-I minutes he can get with the team, regardless of the league he plays in now. What might help would be if Hamilton, assuming he's still here, would RS allowing more game time for AM and EH not being stuck behind this same group in his junior year. A RS will not help the scholarship situation, but I'm guessing HCGM already has that figured out.

Totally agree on all fronts. If one of those 4 or 5 guys were not here, it would certainly help AM's minutes. AM is going to have to earn playing time to get minutes from one of those upperclassmen.

Irony. Thick like honey at the south pole.

This article makes him sound just about the same size as Rauno... Um... Uh...
