Shedrick was a rebound and rim protect guy at UVa, but Bennett wanted to go to a 5 who could play perimeter offense, but he really wasn't that good at it, so he stuck Shedrick in at the end and got some good results.

Shedrick might have been a decent player had it not been for his shoulder surgeries.  Might have been.  I think he gets more s*** than he deserves because he has never been truly healthy here, but damn his hands are bad.

He's a 1/2-step to step late on defense and reaches. Not as bad as Tre, but Tre hasn't been in college five years, either. Shedrick also has been good for a foul in the first minute or two of a half, no matter what.

I like the guy, I really do. He's just the weakest link on a team that can't really afford to have one.

He's the weakest starter, but he's far and away the best option we have at the five, so it's not his fault we don't have a better player to eat up minutes at his position.

I spend a lot of games worried about him going to the bench with fouls and wondering if Onyema and Kent will give us anything.

And perhaps his balance, as well.  He is straight line fast with good hops and timing.  He is an average shot.  He should not be down in the inbounds corner against a press but out in the midcourt, and he has played enough ball to know that.  So situational awareness on O is weak, as well, IMHO.

From what I know of Kirk Bohls, probably his imaginary friends.

Will Wade is still a no for Texas

A certain in-state coach wants Texas if it opens, but that ain't happening.

So since you said Buzz below, is this in state coach someone else not named buzz? Drew? Mccasland? @Gerry Hamilton

I think he’s referring to buzz in both but obviously not 100% sure

Minnesota is one of the worst jobs in the Big Ten. But it does seem like it is time for Buzz to move.

I think we can do better but I will support any coach coming here. 

I tell you what, Coach Terry is definitely doing a better job with this team now that they're healthy. Weaver has made a huge difference for this team, imo. We'll see if they can make the tourney, two pretty gutsy wins but if Coach Terry keep's winning and somehow makes a run in the tournament, where we would he have to get to, to keep his job? Another elite 8 run?

I know it's not guarantee that we make the tourney but we've at least done what we needed in the SEC toruney, right? Get at least two wins.
