Some say, he hasn't had enough minutes to prove himself....well whose fault is that? If he can't get on the court, then obviously his skills are extremely limited to "HEIGHT" alone.
    If I remember right he didn't even play until his Senior year in high school. He has always been a project, even at the JUCO level. I thought he would be needed this year simply as an extra big to take up space and grab some boards. I didn't think Miller and Brown would be eating up the minutes that they are and I knew Bryce could rebound but didn't think he could put up the Shawn Long type numbers that he is. Turns out Stalcup just doesn't fit in to the game plan that much, especially with Plaisance developing more. He does block shots though, his blocks per minute played are more than double anyone else on the team.

    The shot blocking reference that I made was to what coaches said about him. That he'd immediately come in and rebound/block shots. Our team simply does not block shots. We are not an above the rim team, which is ok. We lack the long guards and athletic bigs that typically block and alter shots. This is no shot at Bryce...he's a stud but plays under the cylinder. Next year with the influx of transfers we should see a more athletic team and our blocks should increase....

    My harping point is that if Stalcup can't seem to find minutes right now, where will the minutes come from next year?

    I'd not give Plaisance minutes instead of Miller, and Washington.

    Scott is playing some impact minutes in his last few games. Granted they are in short spurts, but I've been surprised.

    Your 100% correct as of now there looks to be no minutes for him next year. Remember when Stalcup initially signed it was in that period after the 14-15 season when everyone thought Long was leaving after his Junior year. They were trying to just get some size on the roster. When he didn't qualify hardly anyone noticed cause Long was back. He was brought back in this year after it was decided that 3 scholarships would be going to guys sitting as transfers. Once again I think they were just taking a shot because they needed a big and were going to see what he could do.

    Does stalcup have a year to sit? Or did he use it already?

    He sat out last year getting grades in order after playing 2 years of JUCO. I'm not sure where he was actually going to school.

    No need to sit him (whether he can or not). If no development happens...you can't use him. He's got to move on.

    It's refreshing to know that we have this problem. Marlin had a Chinese fire drill a few years back and we didn't know if we could fill a roster, much less a starting five. This feels like Jesse Evans all over again with the transfers coming in. It would be great to land one or two every year like Ga State does and keep this program trending upward.
