Yes, Derrick did redshirt. Then in his redshirted freshman year he averaged 17 minutes a game and more than 6 points.

There are plenty of examples of other freshmen who did not redshirt, found significant minutes and became meaningful contributors that first year. There are also plenty of examples where Sean redshirted a freshman, feeling the player would benefit from a little more development. We shall see which way it goes with Powell. None of us knows.

For the record, I understand what you are saying and I get it. I was just passing along what has been indicated by guys who are around it everyday. It may turn out differently.. but just looking at who is now on the roster and minutes available, it’s going to be pretty difficult. I mean here is reality:


Pg McKnight Maddox
Sg Conwell Maddox foster
Sf swain foster hunter
Pf free hunter
C Hugley, whatever other center we get


Other bench:

Green
Powell

He’s probably going to get some early run but at some point, I’d be shocked if miller doesn’t concentrate on an 8-9 man rotation. That’s be tough for Powell to crack.

Now with all that said, it’s a very long time until November. Who knows if free or rome stay/get healthy and if green stays. However, this is just as it stands today
