Curious to see if Wynyard plays against Ole Miss or LSU, or redshirts.
 
Skal is going to keep getting some minutes, doubt Tai or Hump play much. If Skal doesn't "get it" ever, the endgame for this team is much lower than it could have been.

That is true but even if gives us 7 & 5, we will be alright.
 
For some reason I think humph will see some minutes. Cal was praising the down under connection the other day. Cal doesn't say or do anything without a purpose behind it

same here; I know he was thinking redshirting might be the best option. But if he does that, what kind of playing time will he get next season, I wonder?

Skal is going to get his chance - see if he learned anything during "Camp Cal" - or if Cal decides to utlize him differently. I loved our starting lineup last Saturday - would like to see it again.

Pretty excited for game Saturday...just to see what develops with the bigs
 
Ole Miss has one big that will probably match up with Alex(they are about the same size) the other one plays more outside, not a great match up for Lee or Humphries, I expect Skal will get several minutes to try and get a few points to get a bit of confidence going.

Humphries needs to see the floor a little. I wonder if he will hold out Briscoe( it would be nice to see if he could bother Moody a little) he will need to be as ready as he can for the LSU trip.

I don't expect any quantum leaps but it would be nice to see a little more out of Skal, Matthews or even Mulder. As others have said Wynyard needs to play pretty soon or not play at all.

Yeah this week between games stuff has gotten old quick, I am glad the team has time to work on stuff but it sucks for the rest of us.
 
I will be shocked if Cal pays Humphries at all Sat. I don't look for Tai to play at all this year . It' sec time and Cal gets anal as hell .. The rotation will get very short as he tries to help his five stars.
 
Not sure what helping the five stars has to do with it. Cal certainly is loyal to his recruits and allows them to play thru mistakes early. However, as we have recently seen with Skal if you cannot produce on a level that earns your PT consistently you will not play.

Sorry not trying to contradict what you said, and it is entirely possible I mistook your meaning. But if you are insinuating that he only plays the five stars above better options potentially to the detriment of the team then I disagree with that assertion completely. He does tighten up the rotation this time of year. But it is more to do with having the best players with the most potential and upside out there for our best shot come tourney time.
 
I hope all the bigs come out killing it rebounding,put backs,blocking,hustle plays, you know all the things they are supposed to do, if they do that we will be in good shape[thumb2]
 
Lee and Labissiere will continue to get most of the minutes at the 5. Humphries will only see minutes if we have foul trouble. I don't expect Wynyard to play any this season.
 
fearless predictions:

Skal get more points than fouls today, maybe 10

Lee leads us in rebounds

5 guys in double figures

Briscoe shoots 50+% from the line

When Cal listed the rotation he had decided on, the 5s were Shal and Lee. Neither Humphries nor Wynyard were mentioned. So unless there is a foul trouble situation, I predict only wipe-up minutes.
