How is that a problem, Hudson would not be a factor on a team competing for championships just like he wasn't for us

It’s almost as if Howard shouldn’t have quit and left the court in the middle of a big game, after already having a laundry list of issues.
You guys can shite all over Howard all you want. Mistakes were made. He was punished. If yall want to hold it over his head for all time and not move on, thats on your character.

Hudsen being our 7th player is a problem
Teams stashing Hudsen as their 15th player is a problem. Youre willfully being obtuse.

We have moved on. You’re correct he made mistakes and was punished. His punishment was not getting to play the rest of the year, which in my eyes was a perfectly fine punishment. My question is why can’t you move on?

Not to be a stickler but he was our 9th man and didn’t play since his 4 mins in the ASU game. I agree with your premise though that another big would have helped us so that Dylan and Broome could have gotten more breaks.

You're being dishonest. He was, at best, our 9th player and that's only because of the Howard stuff and JP not producing. So he should have been 11 which is just about right.
Even if your post was correct though yes it would be a big problem if he were our 7th man. It would not be a problem if he were Kentucky's 15th man. If we get to the point of counting on that caliber of player to help us win then we are aren't going anywhere anyway.

Others were a bum so he shouldve been 11 in what sense does that make?
His position was a critical need. If you could have him come in at 15 he would've been a fine get. You dont want to devote a whole scholarship to him.
You're the dishonest one here.

I guess I don't understand the point you're trying to make. He was not our 7th man so throw that out the window.
I thought you were trying to say the bigger budget teams would stack guys like him at the end of their bench and that would be a problem for us. I'm saying guys like him aren't helping anybody win at the level we want to win at so it doesn't really matter if it's him or some rando floppy haired white boy at the end of a Kansas or Kentucky bench it doesn't have any impact on us at all with the current state of our program.

I'm trying to parse what he is trying to say too...
By the end of the regular season it was pretty clear that rotation had been set and if any of the regular rotation guys got fouls (which they did quite often) we really had no option but to provide less rest to our starters because guys like Pegues and Hudsen were non-entities.
I chalk it up to a player scouting whiff which you really can't do if you expect to make it through a long season AND have a reasonable chance to win it all.

He helped us against Georgia.

So I am supposed to be worried about not having a 10th man whose ceiling is a 5 point effort when filling in for an injured player and averaged 1 point and 1 rebound for the season?
I wish that was our biggest problem but we don't even have a clue who are starting 5 is going be at this point or where they are going to come from.

He helped us win the SEC championship by playing in that game according to Bruce. Would I want him to be the 10th man. No. 15th? yes. Every D1 school has the opportunity to have 15 players next year which you continue to ignore. Yes we need to rebuild the roster but if we want to be elite we need to be ahead of the curve.
Posted on 4/7/25 at 12:49 pm to jangalang
There is no way any school will have 15 players on scholarsihp and contributing and happy. It's impossible.
Playing 10 is hard. Playing more is basically not possible.
Not sure how anyone adapts to this.

I'm not ignoring it, I'm saying I don't care. Extend it to 100 it doesn't matter. Nobody is getting more than 10 actual contributors.
Posted on 4/7/25 at 3:37 pm to RandySavage
Nobody plays more than 8 so not sure why someone is freaking out about having 15 contributors
Posted on 4/7/25 at 3:42 pm to blzr
In our case 7 last game.

And then during the tournament time you will be complaining about injuries and depth.
