Here we go, another season of Bacot injuries, ala the ankle issues the last 3 years.

Here we go, another season of Bacot injuries, ala the ankle issues the last 3 years.

I sure hope not. But definitely a warning signal. A reminder - if one was needed - that one or more of our other bigs have to step up.

At least he has a nice stretch to recover before the next game. Wouldn't want to play UK this Saturday.

If you were coach, who would you focus on, and what would you do to get Washington/High/Okonkuo ready for serious play?

I know Withers played some in the post for Louisville, but he looks more like a 4/3 to me than a 4/5. He's already taking longer to fit in than I'd expected. I'd rather not disrupt his learning curve.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Washington - High ceiling? He needs more toughness and stronger motor.

High - He's already on the right track, I think. Not sure you can speed his development much.

Okonkwo - Haven't seen enough to know what we have with him. He looked better in the clips I saw over the summer.
