Even before the news today that Harris will not be ready for the opener next week I will keep to my guns and say like I have all summer and fall that Platek will be the starting shooting guard when the new season starts.
I see Platek like Brob last year as a senior given a real chance to be a starter that he will step up and lead by example and shut up a ton of his critics.
I just do not see two freshmen starting in the backcourt early in the season especially with the pressure of playing at a blue blood college. Some may remember when highly talented Lawson and Ellington came to the hill that they did not immediately start but a senior Bobby Frazier did early In the year.
There really is not another point guard that the staff trusts. No not baby Jet Smith or Black.
Every year for some reason fans pick a player to jump on and UNFAIRLY complain about recently besides Platek there was Britt and McDonald and even Meeks.
