Dude your schtick is tired. These threads are literally pages and pages of you talking to yourself, posting meaningless tweets/complaining about players who choose one of the other ~350 division 1 basketball programs in America, and recycling the same conspiracy theory about Larranaga not playing underclassman.
First of all, Wong and Beverly, both freshman, averaged 20 minutes per game last season. If that doesn't prove that the staff is committed to playing freshman, I don't know what will. Heck, Shane Larkin started as a freshman on a team that made the Sweet 16. Miller and Waardenburg only played starters' minutes this past year because Gak is made of glass and Stone was out until December and missed most of training camp. We had 3 actual bigs last year and two of them (Sam and Stone) might as well be shooting guards. If you want to call Coach L out for crappy roster construction, that is completely warranted, but it's not like Anthony Walker (who didn't even start for his prep team) was some magic bullet.
The notion that anyone wants an upgrade over Brooks is lunacy. He hasn't played a minute of basketball in a Miami uniform! It's not like this guy is going to come in and average 20 and 10 coming off a redshirt year, but he's also someone who's an upgrade over every other big on the roster. Fact is, he was the starting center on a good Cincinnati team last year and I definitely think he'll be one of the better bigs in the conference this year.
Beyond that, I trust that Gak (assuming he's healthy) and Cross will play over Miller by the time conference play starts, and Walker will absolutely be in the rotation. If they don't, you can come back gloating and I'll be the first to tell you that you were right all along. But if you knew anything about basketball (I question this quite often), you would also realize that Sam playing next to Brooks and a wing like McGusty/Timberlake allows him to do what he does best - shoot. Do I think he's softer than baby sh*t, 100%, but you need three point shooting in your lineup and he provides it with DJ graduating.
