Did you see him on the bench?

I had heard he wasn't available due to Contact Tracing.

I think covington is right. I recall they said he will be quarantined before available to participate in practice. Not necessarily contact tracing, but just to get inside the "bubble" as it is.

If it's a 7-day quarantine, he should be available by next game - but with zero practice before then, more likely by the 2/1 game.

Those announcers yesterday were horrible

Agreed. And Seth Greenberg popping in didn't help.

Exactly. I didn’t tune in to hear about the guy dripping off after his oatmeal bath!

RIGHT! I felt like I was watching the Flint Tropics w/Jackie Moon.

They are all horrible and being remote doesn't help. I sure didn't need to hear the ECU quarantined coach drone on for 10 minutes

Just started practicing a couple of days ago. Heard he’s doing well.

Great to see him get some minutes last night. He looked lost, but that's expected. No real practice time. But it was good to get the nerves out of the way. You can see he's going to be active.

Definitely. Any minutes he gets there are big time bonus minutes for next season.

Sorry but I haven't seen anything. Is any playing time he gets this year basically a freebie? He will be a freshman next year?

He came in a semester early. Because this year is a freebie for everyone, it won't affect his eligibility next year (according to a Daily Memphian article I read this morning).

Everybody in every college sport gets a free year this season.

Yep, definitely was good to see him get some minutes. Anything this year is absolutely a bonus, and if he can grow and develop confidence like Cisse has (who also is age-wise a HS senior), that will be a huge benefit.

Let's hope he gets some PT tonight also!

I have not really thought about Cisse and Nesbitt both being early enrollers. I wonder if they lead to a natural friendship between them and if Cisse will be able to provide some guidance to Nesbitt.
