Going to be more than a learning season...... could be Tad’s last. We need to get a graduate transfer big man stat for next year!
Buffman troll, you're clearly not paying attention. This most definitely won't be Tad's last season. Not after he just brought in this group of freshman, which is, far and away the best group he has ever had.
Further, next year the Buffs won't need a grad transfer big man as they will have a big man rotation that includes:
Evan 'Big Gravy' Battey - Early reports from camp said that Battey looked like the best or second best freshman on this team, yes as good as M. Wright. Then the NCAA made a bone headed decision that forced him to red shirt. Don't expect this young man to be good, expect him to be an immediate difference maker that averages a double double.
Tory Miller - He got hurt early enough that he will receive a medical redshirt. Yes he might be able to play in europe, but that isn't a given and his family really wants him to get his degree. He isn't a star, but he will give the Buffs solid minutes and you can bet he will be motivated.
Dallas Walton - If you've watched him this year you know that he looks out of place. That is what happens to a guy who missed two years of high school ball with knee injuries and then had to red shirt last year. This young man will improve every time he gets on the floor as he clearly has some physical ability and you can't teach being taller than 7'. You can expect that he will be the most improved player on this team both next year and the year after. Every second on the court helps this young man out....oh and another off season where he add 30 pounds (again) could turn him into a monster.
Lucas Siewert - I hate saying he is a big man even though he is 6'10" as he doesn't play like it. But expect him to assert himself more as he becomes an upper classman. No he won't ever be a star but I do expect that he will be a nice roll playing big man both his junior and senior years.
Tyler Bey- His body type doesn't scream big man, but with the other bigs available for next year, Bey will be freed up to play like he should, which is a small forward that plays like a power forward. If you watched him go up against a sure fire first round pick from south dakota state then you know this guy will compete and will become a very solid player for CU.
What this means is that next year CU doesn't have to recruit a grad transfer big man. Further, with the point now held by M. Wright and the young wings on the team they just need to land the best player they can.
As it stands, I am going to love watching this team grow...now if they don't grow and look the same next year as this year...then troll away...
