I get it. Our young player development has been lacking. I thought Moore had potential, but he never really got a chance on game days. Mason looked the part the first few games..not sure why he’s not getting more PT.
Fair enough. I also wonder about Christian Moore. Arkansas Pine Bluff has struggled with a tough schedule which includes Cincinnati, Missouri, Texas Tech, USF, and Tulsa. He was 9/15 against Texas Tech in a game where he scored 20. He's hit double figures in I believe all but 2 games. Looks like most of their starters were benched midway through the Mizzou game. Hard to say if he's a capable starter at our level considering they've played up in competition but he would have been a good spark plug off the bench here. Just don't be surprised when more of our young guys leave and contribute elsewhere.
Is that a problem any more at the G5 level? Recruits go somewhere hoping for transfer portal opportunities. It would take sustained success or non-football considerations to make players want to be somewhere four years, not a coach they liked when they were still in high school.
