Our questions as of Saturday

[Bleedinggoldandblack]

With TKR being the best solution at the 5 given Saturday, that move Heide to 4 maybe , and puts Harris Colvin battling for the 3 with Cox coming in to relieve Braden . But Colvin and Heide gotta be the biggest question marks? Berg will just be a body against another big to keep TKR out of foul trouble. Thoughts from you guys. ???

I have no problem with the top three they more than filled the stat sheet. I expected more from Berg and Burgess Kalkbrenner is legit and the ref's controlled the paint IMO. But I still expected more. Harris and Cox played with poise and looked the part of future dominate players. Jacobsen looked good but IMO he needs minutes and more trust in himself. Looks like Jack wins the redshirt lottery. Should net him huge money down the line. Colvin and Heide will rise above the whole not starting stigma and become closers. I like all of the parts just need to put them together. Good thing we lost I wouldn't want them to think effort is enough because it rarely is. Should be another 20-win season and a tourney trip.

Way too early to make those determinations.

It's fun to speculate because that's what we as fans can do. Really hard to determine long-term though. I have no doubt Coach has plans and ideas.

I was surprised and disappointed in Heide. He had minimal impact on either end of the court. I thought Myles was much better on D and I believe we all know he can be very good on offense. The question is, with Painter repeating multiple times that he wants another ball handler on the court doesn’t that kind of limit Colvin and in my opinion take a step back on the offensive end with Harris. I do think Cox looked like he’s a baller with a lot of upside and Harris as well. I believe Harris can score but we didn’t see that aspect of his game. Not sure what to make at the 5. I feel bad for Furst as I thought he was still not meshing and appeared lost a couple times. I like Burgess as the guy to move to the top if he doesn’t red shirt. I think Berg needs playing time and confidence. DJ has upside but physically will get pushed around. He was scored on fairly frequently even with his shot blocking ability.

For me, until I see a trend, I'm assuming some players are just shaking off the rust.

Yeah felt the same about Furst !, remember his freshman year , thought he was really going to be something, don't think it's lack of effort, I'm perplexed by this one. Good assessment.
