...is eligible! Practiced with the team for the first time this afternoon at Gullickson. There is also a new walk-on guard from Sweden by way of a Florida prep school. Same time, same place tomorrow @2:30.
Beyers...
- Thread starter Tim Hensley
- Start date
we saw so little of him to know. He looks like a shooter
No chance.... on the other hand Beyers is the best shooter on the team. He has the potential to be phenomenal and Bennett is a ballerina in a beasts body. He going to help us a lot this year! His moves and agility are amazing for his size
I hope you are right about Bennett, but from what I saw in the games they played out of the country, he seemed lost and out of position resulting in very few rebounds for a man his size...
bigo - but wasn’t that the point of the Bahamas exhibitions? Coaching gets to see the team in a “live” game scenario before they have their 1st official pre-season practice. I am telling myself this more than most: gotta be patient with this years squad. They have a “chance” to be the best in history at our alma mater. Let Dan & the coaching staff get them ready at their pace......
Those early season games are huge for a coach that is a teacher like Dan
Absolutely.
Just think back to how lost Jannson & George were at the beginning of last season. By the end of the year, they were major contributors.
Those two weeks extra practice and games allow for filming watching and learning before fall practice even starts. Huge jump start. The young guys have about a three week jump start.
does anyone get redshirted?

Could be wrong, but I don't see where Brooks gets much PT this year. I think he has a very high ceiling, similar to Jannson. I think we need to slap a redshirt on him and roll with everyone else.
I think Kinsey is too good to put a redshirt on right now. And with us losing Elmore, Burks, and Watson after this season, I think Dillon needs to get as much PT this year as possible and be ready to run with West & Kinsey next year.
yes, 2 kids will almost definitely get RS and possibly 3. I say Dillon and brooks get RS and if I were Kinsey I would be asking the staff for a RS but he might play. just my opinion. we definitely need Iran to get more comfortable in the system. he is more of a back to the basket player and not much of a screen and roll guy, but with time and reps, he will get better. worked out with beyers 2 wks ago and he is a great kid. I think all of the "best shooter on the team" is just coach talk. I hope he can help the team this yr. MU has a chance to replicate last yrs run and maybe more. a lot will depend on Iran being able to reb and protect the paint. scoring wont be an issue
Danny has spoken about redshirting 2. Since he has yet to discuss that with either player I will NOT mention any names.
Others that come to practice most likely heard the same statement from him that I did.
I agree, depth should allow us to redshirt brooks so that he can get physically ready to play, but our young guards are going to have to play some this year with us losing 3 key guys after the season.
me personally, if im the kid or the parent of the kid I would be begging for a RS. the most any of those kids will play, barring injury is 8 min a game, if that. why waste a yr when you could RS, get stronger, get better, learn the system more and then possibly come back and start as a RSfr and have 4 yrs of playing 30+ minutes. IDK, just my opinion.
