Gonna be very frustrating if this kid turns out to be the consistent sharpshooter we were missing all season long, and lights it up next season. So many games were lost this year for the want of one player who could actually shoot consistently from outside.

This reminds me of the guy in rec league who would have been a sure fire pro had his high school coach just played him more...

Coaches do not bench their starts and their studs. Their job depends on winning... If Camden could have been any sort of significant contributor this year he would have been playing. He was redshirted for a reason... That is not to say he will not be a contributor at any school during his career but just that he was not ready to this year.

^^^^^

All of this.

And Onu. If dude had a lick of skill, he would have been getting minutes.

Same for Wingett...message board loyalists talk themselves into how some dude who was getting low D1 offfers was going to be "THE exception" then a couple folks say he "looks legit" at the Finch then next thing you know, it points north for a bunch of folks here.

If he HAD been good enough, people find room for him.

Wingett just finished his 3rd year at SDSU and averaged 2.9 ppg and is hitting the portal.

This also goes back to when I say: "if so and so is playing 20 minutes a game...then we're in trouble..."

Wingett played 25 mpg in 2020 for a 22-10 SDSU team.

This year, with two more years under his belt, he played 6 minutes a game for SDSU. BUT, SDSU was 30-5 this year. Basically, a guy who plays 25 mpg and scores 8 ppg is the guy who becomes your 10th best player when you are a 30-5 team.

You are spot on, considering that Wingett and Camden were the 4th or 5th best options at their respective positions.

You are completely wrong when it comes to Sam. Before we signed Duren, Sam was the only other center on the roster, behind Dandridge; who wasn't great, and whose knees prevented him from playing much his first couple of years. Without Duren, Sam would have had between 8-12 minutes per game, easy. Maybe more.

Literally no way.

Memphis would have just played small ball, like SMU. PUt Chandler, Malco, and Deandre at the 5-ish. Minott would have gotten a lot more run.

Sam was no good. I know you don't want to budge because you're deep in on it, but dude played FOUR minutes in the exhibition game vs. Lane. He came in the same time as Jacobs and Glennon.

J. Lawson played 10. Camden played 12.

He was an absolute project. He didn't play his senior year of h.s.

Can we just be honest... Sam was a throw in to get Camden. Both got on campus and neither were worth playing and now both are leaving.

This really is a simply matter.
