One of the coaches this week commented to me “Kobe brings us a bigger 6’6” guard forward is exactly what this team needs right now.”

So we wait and see...

My understanding is Kobe probably will not play this weekend. I would not want to send him on two 7 hour bus trips when he has just returned to practice. Likely goal is to play him next Thursday when we host ULM. We then play at ULM the following Saturday, a much shorter trip. That is the only non Friday/Saturday set for the season. As far as his health is concerned, I was told he recently shared that he has not felt as good as he does now since his HS days. Hopefully that is correct. Still, we don't know how his return to practice and playing will impact the knee.

As far as the rest of the team is concerned, AU has been battling knee issues for several games now. Despite that he played pretty well last Saturday. Awkuba also appeared to hurt his hip in one of the games at Texas State. Not sure what his status is. I do believe both are in the normal plans for the games at Arkansas State. Those bumps and bruises tell me that bringing in another guy for even a few minutes can help the situation. Also recall that in Kobe's case, it is a free year due to Covid. He will be a fourth year freshman next season. Very unusual of course.

I hope they don't overlook Arkansas State. I know their record isn't impressive, but toth of the previous games were tight for a good bit of the first game and stayed tight all the second game.

We pulled away and around the 10 minute mark in a he second half of the first game and then we dominated the second game until almost giving it away in the last 5 minutes or so.
