LJ Rose is a million times better than Beo, and good bench minutes are good bench minutes.

True. But go look at the games we lost even with LJ starting. No bench didn't help us, but even at full capacity we were unorganized and undisciplined. Rose has gotten more out of less talented teams.

No bench mentions? We had the worst scoring bench in the nation. We have young talent coming off missions that will help (Andrus, Dalton Nixon, possibly Seljaas coming back next year). With a healthy Peyton Dastrup that is already sounding good, and my guess is guys like Beo will get the boot when things get a little crunchy if we get a JC transfer or two.

The starters played pretty well, Emery included. They just played too much.

I only mentioned the starting lineup talking about inexperience. The Bench was part of the inexperience and was probably why it played so poorly. If our only Sr's hadn't gotten injured, the bench probably would have played better. Plus my 3 reasons were what I was saying were the main reasons. There were tons more but those were my main ones. And Emery was a shadow of the player he was as a freshman this year. He played far from well.

Haws got my expectations up with that first game of the season but I'll give him a pass. I agree with what you said on Emery. He looked like a superstar in the making as a Fr and heading into this past season I thought he was going to be our leading scorer with Mika shaking off the mission dust. I always hear so much about how the biggest leap in improvement is from Fr to So...hopefully Emery is just a year late on that.

Emery is not the main issue, but like you said, his lack of improvement was one of the contributing factors in our disappointing season.
