Excellent write up. I agree about Curtis but he will be a player for us down the line.

I think Curtis will slowly get more minutes this year and be a solid rotation player next year.
He definitely looks like the most promising freshman post under Hoiberg.

Assuming he's healthy, Oogie will get the minutes before Curtis*.

Last season, it seemed our offense flowed better with Meah (rim protector) on the bench.

I do agree with you and Corn about his potential and excited to see him.

Him playing in the exhibition means he's not redshirting, right? I don't think redshirts can play in the exhibtion games.

As an aside, it's strange how different the redshirting rules are sport to sport. Football players can play fully 1/3 of the regular season plus the postseason but basketball players can't even play in an exhibition game.

I agree Oogie will get first dibs, and I love that we are in this position. But I think Curtis is one of those guys you want to bring along and increase his minutes as the season goes on. Let him dip his toes in to get a feel for the speed and watch him adjust more and more as he builds his game. Would be great to have a full on rotation of Mast, Oogie, Curtis, and Garcia/Berke come tournament time. Thats a lot of size and versatility to work with at the most crucial point of the year.

Also, what's wrong with Oogie?

He's been battling a back injury. He was dressed and went through warm-ups against BYU and looked perfectly fine. Based on that I'm sure he could've played and him being held out is 100% precautionary. Fred already that Oogie will play against Midland next week.
