LeBlanc will play almost starter like minutes, but I don’t think he’s a starter on this team. Simply because of the rotation and the lack of bigs we have. From a rotation standpoint it doesn’t make sense starting 3 of your top 4 bigs.


I just can’t see continuing to start Hyatt or Wilkenson when you have someone like Leblanc sitting there. I’ll bet a you a Diet Coke he is starting by January.

Hyatt hasn't started since the Southeastern game and will not start again unless there is some huge injury/Covid bug that goes through the team.

He only started when he did b/c they didn't have Manning healthy yet and LeBlanc wasn't eligible. Wade wasn't comfortable starting a 2nd freshman (Wilkinson) to begin the year, so he went with experience in Hyatt.

I project that by conference play, Hyatt is likely on the outside looking in at playing time. Had he come out in these early games and shown some real improvement and contribution unique to other players, then maybe he carves out more of a role. But we just haven't seen that from him at all and his chances are dwindling.
