Can he redshirt still?
neither. you just can't play everybody on the bench. he's a true frosh 8 games into D1 Basketball. We have a lot of guys 1-10 that have to develop before we hit the league schedule.
We're trying to win games and put a team together that can compete in the B1G...
Totally disagree. Is Eugene Omoruyi a superstar? He's playing. Ru fanatic hit the nail on the head above.Why are we expecting true freshmen to get significant minutes?
Usually true freshmen get limited time behind players with more experience, and get worked in more as they develop within the system. That's fairly normal. True freshmen usually only see significant time when they're superstars, or they're on teams that lack talent/depth among their existing roster.
Not worried that Bullock isn't seeing time. Let him take the year to develop, seeing spot minutes as he earns them, and see how he looks as a sophomore.
Totally disagree. Is Eugene Omoruyi a superstar?
I didn't say they were or they weren't nice pieces. I said Omuruyi was not a "superstar" which was the description of the type of player that gets significant playing time as a freshman according to the other poster.He is in my book. Isn't this his 4th year playing basketball? Thaim and Omoruyi are nice pieces.

Minutes for Bullock or anyone else on the roster don't need to come from a specific position. Pikiell often goes big to small to big in the middle of a half. The reality is an increase in minutes for Bullock or Omoruyri could come from Nigel Johnson or CJ Gettys or anywhere in between.
My prediction for B1G.......average and range
Sanders 33 36-28
Freeman 25 32-15
Johnson 24 30-13
Williams 24 30-13
Laurent 20 30-10
Sa 20 24-13
Thaim 20 28-14
Omoruryi 14 22-6
Gettys 14 22-8
Doorson 6 10-0
... through hard work [and injury and suspension to teammates] and ...He and Diallo seem to be the odd men out right now but everything is fluid isn't it? He will find a role through hard work and a coaching staff that is looking for a place for him to nest.
Choppin, Your math is incorrect. Omoruyi has played 66 minutes out of a team total of 280 minutes. That is not below 5% but is 23.6%. If he was playing 10 minutes a game he would be at 25%. I think you are getting the less than 5% by taking 280 minutes times 5 getting 1400 minutes. That is not the way to figure what percentage a guy is playing. If that is what you are doing than a guy playing 30 minutes a game would only have 210 total minutes out a possible 1400 minutes which would only be a little over 14%.
Choppin, Now we are on the same page but I always look at how much a guy is playing as to a 40 minute game. I know 8 guys are getting about a half a game or more Omoruyi is playing just under 10 minutes a game which think is pretty good. He has gotten into every game in the first half I believe except one. He is a very important member of the team who plays physical and passes very well. I think his minutes will go up. I have been at every game except DePaul and he has been getting important minutes when we need a more physical game. One game changed completely when he came in. I think he will wind up at about 12-13 minutes per game but I could be wrong. That would be over a quarter of a game which I think is very good for a freshman.
