It likely puts Wheeler out of the rotation because now Cal will play Mintz more as a reserve point guard.
This.
Yep. This is why we should/will play him this year.
I'm not sure what he's done but NBA guys said if he'd played his cards right,, he'd been eligible this past draft and would be eligible in 2022.. I'm not sure what he's done.. Reclassified? No clue..
Should be available for the UL game.. Don't think he's trying to get in for the first semester.. Could be wrong again because I have no clue as to what he's done yet far as leaving high school and being here in 2-3 weeks..
Brooks starts all season imo, unless he gets hurt. No way Collins out plays him.
I saw someone post that there was a way to take a shorter semester that does let you get credit for the semester.
I think that would cause problems. Grady didn’t come here to come off the bench. He’s a 6th year SR & a 2000 point scorer who could’ve gone anywhere he wanted. He came here for the exposure to improve his draft prospects & it would be sabotage to relegate him to the bench & give his minutes to a new guy a week before the season starts. That would be dirty af, IMO. If Cal really asked for Oscar’s approval on Cockburn imagine the slap in the face this would be to Grady if he wasn’t asked or was blindsided by this. I’d guess that it’ll mostly knock Wheeler or Fredrick out of minutes before Grady but it’ll be felt throughout the rotation.
Fall semester started weeks ago. He's too late to enroll this semester. I don't get it. KSR is probably just trying to create a stir.
A 2 thousand Point scorer is a star.
It’s not age at time of draft. It’s age at the end of the calendar year you are being drafted in.
You are correct I forgot Jamal reclassified. He definitely was a big time player. So I was mistaken. I hope Sharpe can put together a year like Jamal had no doubt about it, he was huge
We absolutely needed him that year. Without him idk if we make the tournament.
Diablo wasn’t the top recruit and sure fire top 5 pick. He had to play a season it didn’t matter. Sharpe doesn’t have to play a minute to get picked in the top 5
There are guys as it stands who will see limited minutes. There are a lot of players. Allen and Fredrick are gonna have to fight like hell to see action.
I wouldn't count Wheeler out of anything. He's tough, smart, mature and does the things a team needs that no one else on this team can do. He will play a significant role on this squad. And there's the rub - how to divide the minutes 1 thru 2 on this team?
Maybe. He still can't shoot. If that proves a liability, he may not play.
I'm cool with that. We will have plenty of options. It's hard to count any of these guys out. If Sharpe comes, it just gets crazier from a depth position, and that's really good news.
Wheeler shot 23% from three last season for Georgia. 18/80 from three. The year before, he shot about 32% from three.
Yeah, this is the potential hazard of adding Sharpe.
If Cal was watching tonight--the idea of Mintz ever getting any competitive mins at PG for this year's team should be thrown out. Wheeler and Washington will be the PG's and should be. Mintz at PG looked like '20 Cats-it was awful and it took Brooks leaving his team to look playable. While he was on Mintz team-he looked like he should be 10th man.
