They do. I also disagree that he is terrible.

There's a difference between terrible and very raw. Hammink showed some (albeit sparse) flashes of being a very solid and versatile plater. I look forward to his development.

ETA: Losing Malik really hurts though. He became one of my favorite players to watch last year and I was really excited about his future.

As do I. I hope he does improve because what he did last year was not impressive.

He did not like the color-scheme of SoS's spreadsheets. He prefers pastels over primary colors.

We have no guard depth once again. The Connecticut kid wouldn't be eligible for next season anyway... We now have stringer and hickey and Quarterman as the only guards on the roster next season. Awesome.


Coleman could probably step in and play the #2 if need be, but yes, losing Morgan hurts and is a bit of a head scratcher. Makes you wonder what's going on? With he and Collins leaving, that would mean 2 of the 3 FR signed last season are gone. Is the staff promising starting jobs and significant PT to the new recruits (at the expense of guys like Morgan) in order to get them aboard?

My source says he wants more playing time. Take it FWIW.

I hope it wouldn't come to that.

There's nothing that we know that would give credit to this. The best players played last year and if you screwed up enough, you got put on the bench. Will Collins, I can understand playing time being a reason for transfer, but not for Morgan. Would have gotten 18-21 minutes/game again.

He would get major mins this year and be a starter next year if a new kid didnt come in and beat him out

Even though its late might need to add one maybe two graduate transfers for depth purposes, may be the exact opposite of last year in terms of need.

we went from not enough bigs to too many bigs. Hickey, stringer, quarterman and Coleman can all play guard.

Martin and Mickey can each play the 3 so we'll probably see a lot of big lineups next year. I always said that CJJ should've taken 2 guards in this class.

Morgan didnt play alot towards the last half of the season. He was in foul trouble when he did.

Looking back, he acted alot like Ralston Turner did. If he doesn't want to play here, so be it.

Hammink will play Guard way before Coleman does.
