Bediako would almost certainly come off the bench at first and possibly the whole season but he'd play a lot of minutes. Sherrell is a great shot blocker like Bediako. You let each think "you've got 5 fouls to spread over 20 minutes, go wreck shite."

Terrible idea. Ideally they’d split time at the 5 spot 50/50 so that each could play at max effort. Right now we’re having to push Sherrell close to 30 minutes which means his tank is empty.

Yes, exactly this. Somebody is gonna have the hot hand. But both would get the green light to play aggressive while they are in the game. Similar to what Florida had last year with their bigs.

Philon been calling Sherrell "Shaq" to his "Kobe" but this center arrangement would be like the 2006 Heat who added Alonzo Mourning mid-year as the backup to Shaq. Mourning gave them big minutes and could be hyper aggressive as a shot blocker because he was playing 15-20 minutes a night instead of 25-30 minutes like a starter.

College sports is on fire and I’m fine with Bama throwing some more gas on said fire for our own benefit. Everyone else is taking advantage of the chaos, so we should, too.

Honestly, its matchup dependent. Florida has 3 massive bigs we have to contend with who all play together at times. Without Bediako(and maybe Bristow), we are really gonna struggle against them. I think playing both works when youre facing a team like that, especially since Sherrell can shoot. Then having TBB/Allen at the 3 really means we might even have a matchuo advantage since our guards are far better.

I honestly have no idea how this ends up. Doing this during the bye week with Chuck already enrolled seems like Nate and Co. thought it would pass through the court pretty easily. But the NCAA response makes it seem like it'll be rejected fairly easily. I don't know how it turns out.

This is the same NCAA that denied Quinerly immediate eligibility. It’s not getting approved unless Byrne walks in and flops his dick on the table and says frick you, we’ll take our ball and our giant brand and lead the breakaway- which also isn’t going to happen

We don’t need the NCAA I don’t think. I could be wrong but I think we just need a judge to grant an injunction that allows Bediako to play until his eligibility is decided in court by a 3rd party arbitrator….which we would keep postponing the court date until after the season on purpose.


And most of the time the NCAA folds anyways before it reaches court
