JBA to redshirt

Good move. Between Edwards/JBA and a senior sidibe we have some bigs that look promising. Gives us time for him to develop and get stronger. Like this a lot.

 

[tbonezone]

feels like a red shirt/ standby move. keep warm and in game shape

Figured one of them would redshirt, but I thought Edwards would be the one to so he can practice/put on some muscle

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I think this is a good move for him and the program.

Good move for Jon Bol as well as the team. I was thinking during the game when he didn't get in that a redshirt was a good possibility, especially with the encouraging play of Edwards. Nice to see Washington get a little run tonight. Girard seems to have grabbed the starting PG and it is well deserved. Team seems to have more flow when he is in. He's also the kind of player that when ever he puts it up, you think it's going in. Buddy started slow last year and finished strong. I expect Girard will have some ups and downs but will have a few games where he'll shoot lights out.

A little surprised I thought he could give us some minutes this year.

jba is newer to the game of basketball . . . always thought his contributions would come in the out years, this preserves it. i like it.

Nice. JBA is gonna come back and dominate.

What are the rules on redshirting with regards to games played? I though it was something to the effect of being able to play up to a quarter or third of a season?

I think that's a medical redshirt and it's 10 games or so.

Great move.

He added some quality muscle during the summer/fall and will continue to do so this year.

This kid has a very high ceiling with that Jumpshot.

I'd redshirt the whole team! Can we do that?

John Bol Ajak on redshirt year: 'Next year I will be valuable to the team'

The Syracuse freshman decided to sit out the season to focus on learning the game, getting bigger and learning the SU system.

I love everything about this report. I always root for the guys who have to sit through a red shirt season.

Edwards has pretty good feet. wonder if we go really big in spots next yr

 

[realorange]

235 by next year!! Bring it on!

Oh, and invite Marek to eat with you.

 

[Ghost]

Nice story - would be nice to have someone agile and strong down there.

 

[Gabjon]

It is difficult to get bigger and strong while also getting quicker and faster. It sounds like JBA is just learning the game let's hope he is a fast learner.

What a mature young man. Can’t wait to see him on the court next season.
