Ideally, we blowout teams early so we can let these guys get some run on the court during real games.

I donāt see how McFarland is going to be special on Defense. He lacked explosiveness and ability to elevate IMHO. Missed a couple of solid block opportunities and rebounds that should have been his alone.
Iām excited to watch his development.

It was his first game. We canāt base everything off of that.

I mean, this was Francis for 2 years, then last season it came together and he was a real problem for most teams

Francis athleticism has always been off the charts.
Iāve heard that McFarland is quite the athlete as well. I just didnāt get a chance to see it.
But as I said before, Iām excited to watch him develop

Such vets as Roberts and Javier along with uber talented Jojo.

This game is on YouTube.
Just watched it. We lead by 26 points with about 5 minutes left in game.
Total domination. Only weakness was our perpetual problemā¦FT shooting. All else was killer domination.
Miller looks good. Very good.

There is a major difference between āgrossā profit and ānetā profit . . . . .
Agree regarding not playing meaningful minutes this year. The point is that many of the comments here are in regards to future years (and donāt mention Jefferson).
even in the futureā¦ we are looking yeas out till he actually get notable ptā¦
sharp
harwell
flemmings? (or transfer pg)
mccarthy
mercy
at a minimum next yearā¦
not counting milos, terrance can come backā¦and we arent going to rely soley on freshmen if these guys left and would bring in older guys filll out the depthā¦ we only play 5 guards
By the by Jefferson looked good in the game.
Who could have known? Just even more depth.

He made some moves to the basket and in time he will learn to get a little arc in his shot:
He just doesnāt look comfortable shooting baskets or free throws
This is exactly my point, right or wrong. A lot of posts like yours looking years out and discounting Jefferson.
The reasoning was not based on defense, it was based on Sampson saying I do not trust freshmen. Unless they are NBA ready like J. Walker, I did not see him getting top minutes his freshman year. I could be wrong. If he comes around to a one and done type player, I will be the happiest Coog.

I know that he was really good but was Tugler NBA ready last season?

In my opinion, which means nothing, Tugler was not close to NBA caliber. Not even in terms of potential. He needs at least 1, maybe 2 more years in college.

That one doesnāt count I guess.
Sharp and TA played āmeaningful ā minutesā¦.that was three freshman in one season CKS seemed to trust.
Tramon played quite a lot as a freshman.
Mills? Started some gamesā¦.
Sasser? Started more than half the games freshman yearā¦ā¦
CKS may not ātrustā freshman, but he certainly has no problem playing freshman and even starting freshman that are NOT āone and donesā.
Go back and look at the past several yearsā¦.he plays freshman āmeaningful minutesā every year.
CKS says all kinds of things and itās tough to get compliments from himā¦.and yes, he may not fully ātrustā them but he certainly plays them quite a bit.
Freshman that were not āone and donesā have been crucial to the team almost every year.
