Wright could do more than just chuck it. He really doesn't offer much else. He might be good for a spark off the bench once in a while. By the way i've known Brundige since he was youngster, he is an absolute beast. We better get a scoring big to come in with him. I wish A. Wright could do more than just chuck it.

This year we have 12 scholarship players, with the last ship going to Eso. Assuming we lose three players next year (Gibson, Sims, Manny), and add three (Smotrycz, Hardaway, Zeigler (fingers crossed)), then we'll still have the one ship open and most likely that will go to Eso again. However, if Wright doesn't come back, that's an extra one that can go to a deserving guy like Puls, Bartelstein or Person. It's a good way to keep those guys motivated as well. The following year, if we sign both Brundidge and a big, there won't be any ships available for walk-ons. One element of the Wright debate is the walk-on situation.

He is what he is which isn't very good and I think we should focus on our young guys and not someone who may not be with us next year. everyone’s kind of right, I forgot about Grady leaving (don’t know why since it is in the news all the time during football), so maybe Wright gets some minutes but I’m still not buying much.

I'm like Bird above. Those occasions when Wright goes off are bizzaro, but fun. But I'm wondering if he's not basically on a one-year try out--if he contributes, he's back in year 5. I hope he does. This is still a young team and a veteran contributing would be great. But if he doesn't crack the rotation with much regularity this year, what are his chances in year 5 for PT? Given how young the '10/'11 team will be, especially in the front court, maybe he's an important component to keep around despite his underwhelming size and athletic ability? I guess I'm wondering what your best guess is to his fate if he's not much a contributor this year. (I suppose a lot of that would depend on the recruit that would take his place, so for argument's sake, what if a 4-starish guy wanted to pull the trigger.) I'll hang up and listen ... Dylan,

D Mo and Vogrich should get the most min outta the incoming class. I think the starting lineup should pretty much remain the same w/ replacing D Mo @ the point!!

Douglass and Lucas-Perry were around 20 mpg and will probably see an increase. Morris will get a big chunk. And it sounds like they are getting Vogrich ready to play the 2 or the 3 (behind Manny). Wright stepped up in the tournament when Manny went down to fouls against Oklahoma, so he will probably get a chance at the 3/4 at times as well. BL11: I think you would be better off looking at conference numbers

http://statsheet.com/mcb/teams/michigan/players?season=2008-2009&stats=conference

Lee 20
Grady 17
Merritt 11
Shep 5.5

As far as Wright and Cronin getting playing time, I have no problem with that we will need some big guys as we match up against big teams and they need to "do work" also.
