JC To Be On Bench, Eastman off Redshirt

[shaunguth]

PJS reporting DSE out 3-6 weeks. That's anywhere from 4-10 conference games.

Son of a &$#%??. I hate these injuries. Get well soon DSE, you were quickly becoming one of my favorites. I think DSE is still redshirt eligible and depending on how the season's going one should be considered. Need Eastman to come and show us some game.

Well dog, your information from your source and post speak for itself Great job of informing us Next time, report good news Thanks

Plus the time needed to get into game shape after he can start practice. If we went bigger do we need JE to play? Imagine playing SS a bit more so we can put WE at the 4 for some minutes. Then we could play MS and maybe even TB at the 3, which would give minutes for AW and CR at the 2?????

At this point by removing the redshirt on Eastman and given my experience w/ stress fractures I'd look into the medical redshirt

Who is this "MS" people keep bringing up? I saw those initials in a post yesterday and didn't have time to question it.

If the injury to DSE is going to be closer to the 6 weeks of recovery time, I say redshirt him. He would miss close to 14 games in that scenario and likely wouldn't be back near 100% until the Valley Tourney...and I'd rather not waste a year of his eligibility on a season where we'd be getting very little of him at 100%.

OK MK is what I meant! Sorry!

[real fan]

No knock on Eastman from what I just said...


DSE gave us a look that we won't have with the other two PG's, mainly less dribbling, more ball movement, and someone who can actually get the ball inside...


So much for Jim's idea on getting Will more touches...

I am glad someone else notices what I have seen the last 2 years, point guards that don"t feed the post players. We have lost 2 of our toughest players in Dyricus and Dodie .

No problem.....it's just that I've seen those initials more than once lately and wasn't sure why. Really no need to apologize!

SFP are you suggesting we could redshirt JE next year after him playing this year?
I missed it, what is meant by JC being on the bench? Is he officially coaching or just helping out or what?
That's too bad about DSE, he looked so good for a freshman, but I'm excited to see what JE can do, even though I'm sad about him losing that 5th year. Good luck and speedy recovery to DSE whether he redshirts or not.

Also our two best 3-point shooters, percentage-wise! That combined with getting the ball into the post are VERY important aspects for this team that will be missed!

Unfortunate, but not the end of the world. This team still has a core of players capable of making a run in the Valley, so this injury shouldn't be looked at as an excuse for a mid-pack finish.
