He will redshirt. Needs some time in the weight room and development.kansasCowboy said:Anything on Herndon?

Have seen him in pickup games, needs work. Would be a waste to use him for this season.
I believe you, but Haldorson could have used one too and he played on occasion last year. Wyoming is in a better position to redshirt players this year so it'll be interesting to see what Shyatt does.Wyolie Coyote said:DVDA said:Do you know that for a fact or are you just saying that?Wyolie Coyote said:He will redshirt.

BeaverPoke said:Basketball players hardly ever get red-shirted. We have this talk every frickin season.
People say we need to redshirt players. Then during the season people complain about lack of depth.
Now that we finally have depth, you want to take it away and redshirt players?
Not every player on the team is going to be a star, some of them just need to get on the court and play and help the team.
If they don't have an elite ceiling (NBA, or 1st team MWC type skill) there is no point in red shirting them and hoping the next year they are the next Marcus Bailey.
Play the kids we have, because we have them.

1. Plenty of basketball players redshirt. We have 2 players on our current team that took a redshirt year (plus 2 others that took a transfer redshirt year, but those aren't voluntary of course).
2. We had plenty of bodies last year. The depth issue is not about number of players, it's about the number of players that can actually contribute at the MWC level. Last year we had 5 players at the 4/5 position (Nance, Washington, Cooke, Sellers, Haldorson). That is just as many as any other team in the MWC. The difference is that our 3-5 guys were not ready to be contributors at this level, so we struggled. Herndon is less ready than Cooke, Haldorson, or Sellers were last year so he will not contribute to depth one way or the other. That doesn't mean he will be redshirted, because maybe there is no real benefit in that for him, but he won't be a contributor.

Who has red-shirted besides the transfers?
No one....

Is that official or just a guess?
What about Hankerson? He might be the most talented player on the team.
I see him every Tuesday and Thursday between classes. He has definitely gotten bigger.fromolwyoming said:From what I hear, Nance put on some muscle, which is a good thing as last year, even before he got sick, he was pretty undersized for a PF/C at just a bit over 200lbs.
