I think what he was getting at is that Julien will not be 100% by January. If we played him and pulled the redshirt, you are pulling it because we may feel we need him. He may be at 80% or 90% or some level shy of full capacity for which he can play but we may not get our best out of him. I think that is the point Hatch is making.Quote:

I think what Hatch was saying that hopefully the other players will be picking up the slack enough to where its not even a thought unless Julien is absolutely 100%.Quote:

Both of them have shown at times they can be great, if they can just show some consistency I don't think there would be a need to bring Julien in halfway through the season.Quote:

Also, watch out for App State. They were the 5 seed last year, their best player in Shabazz returns and they have two guys from good schools who sat out last year who are now eligible.
I will laugh at them. It doesn’t change the fact that the sunbelt is still a terrible basketball conference.Quote:

Personally I would say terrible is in the 20’s. Others may say anything outside the Top 10 is terrible. I suspect league will be in the mid to lower teens again this year.Quote:
