I read an article about French and it said he should be cleared to play in two weeks. I think the article was from last week so...next week?? Didn't say what the injury was (sprained ankle...knee surgery??) or how long he was laid up so no way of telling if he will be in game shape when he does come back.
Surprises early: Red Shirt Freshman Will Yoakum - 3 starts and 3 solid games. Averaging 21 minutes and 13 PPG. Less surprising but still good to see, True Freshman Yahel Hill - 3 starts and 3 solid games. Averaging 22 minutes and 8 PPG.
More than I hoped: Brady Arnold. Not starting, yet, but boy is he having an impact. Didn't know if he would be just a "good news" story who got a few minutes to be able to say he was back or if he truly was back. He's back and appears to actually be better than before. Season is young and he may still wear down but if he continues playing like this, we will be in excellent shape at PG (weather he stays the primary back up or becomes the starter again).
Don't like: Bolon's 3 point shooting. OK, he's playing with one eye so that is probably effecting his accuracy a bit but he's got to recognize that and throttle back on the 3's! He's attempted 25 which is over double any other player on the team!! Drive to the hole or give the ball up Dalton because everything else you are doing is MONEY...just not the 3...not right now!!
Sneeky good: Marlon Moore all around game. Only averaging 11 minutes per game but 9 ppg and #2 on the team in rebounds. Not getting a lot of time, yet, but if he continues to play like he has, his minutes and production will go up.
A little concerning: Saben. Averaging 13 minutes but only 2 ppg on 2 for 9 shooting (.222). He's doing OK in rebounds and assists so maybe he's going to be our Mr All Around...Not great in any one area but solid across the board? He will need to shoot a much higher % to continue to see minutes.
