Yes I agree with you there is a difference between main rotation and guys getting minutes in games with big leads. My point is get guys regular minutes early on in the season and they could develop into rotation guys later on. I also think we're cherry picking here on what being part of the rotation here. You watch some NBA games and you'll see guys get 0 minutes one game and 20 the next based on the match-up. That doesn't mean they're not part of the rotation. Just means the coach may feature different guys for tactical reasons.
By the way, here's UCONN's 23-24 player stats. Look at how many guys played in 30+ games.
I guess it could be worse…
Tennessee’s Qb skipped practice today in a “contract dispute” over wanting more NIL.
I think their spring game is tomorrow, lol.……….
“The day before the winter portal window closed in December, sources told ESPN that Iamaleava's representatives wanted to renegotiate his deal in the $4 million range, but his deal was unchanged. He's expected to make $2.4 million with the Vols this year, sources said.
With the portal set to open Wednesday, Iamaleava's representatives were again looking for $4 million, and sources told ESPN that Tennessee "wasn't going to blink and pay him any more money."
Iamaleava, the No. 23 overall recruit in the class of 2023, signed a then-unprecedented deal with Tennessee's NIL collective in 2022, one that would pay more than $8 million over his college career, when he committed to the program.”
Haven't seen a real scrimmage video in years, IIRC? It's all hype videos and, honestly, they're not many.
I don't care for them. How long do people eat this up, these field-level quick shots with a soundtrack, before they realize it doesn't tell them anything about how the team is actually doing?
Gimme a birds-eye view, that captures the flow of the entire team over the course of a few plays. So much better!
They have put spring media videos out every few days, but it’s mostly lame Vito interviews and talk, no actual video of practice.
Fans need to see some scrimmage action at the least. Are we trying to actually “sell” tickets to this program??
Its a combination of minutes and games played. A guy that played 10 minutes a game, but only played in 15 games is NOT a part of the rotation, but a guy that played 10 minutes a game in every game probably is. You're actually making a completely different argument of "having guys read." That's a valid argument, but it's different than players who are part of the rotation. Your rotation is the guys who are playing meaningful minutes in meaningful games. Go look at the box scores of games decided by 10 points or less and you'll pretty much find the number of players in the teams rotation.
