Hey, so did I!

Brock actually shrunk 1 inch and lost 5 pounds. Last year he was 6'6".

Captain Smith = no change (6'1" and 195 lbs)

Sam may not have lost weight, but it’s moved around some, he looks as fit as ever.

Lets face it, that's not saying much


I see porter is back to being a junior.

Listening to various podcast and interviews over the last week with Craig Smith he talked about this a little. Sam lost 5% body fat. Queta gained 20 pounds.

What podcasts are you referring to?

Not sure how/if this fits in with the OP, but yesterday in the full court press kvnu interview, Coach Smith said that Queta had put on 20-23 pounds since last year? Anyone else hear that?

I would say redshirt candidate, but I'm not sure Coach Smith really redshirts people that aren't injured. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get limited minutes.

Neemias Queta, 7-0, 7-4 with the fro...

What are the rules for redshirting in basketball? It seems like Miller got a redshirt, but actually played in like ~5 games his Freshman year. I was not sure how much if any a player can play in regular season games that affect their redshirt ability

In basketball, you can play in the exhibition(s) if you are an incoming freshman, and still maintain redshirt eligibility. After your freshman season you can no longer play in any exhibitions and be granted a redshirt status. This came into play with us a couple of times (Medlin and I think one other). Once you play in any non-exhibition basketball game you lose your redshirt.

Miller applied for and was granted a medical redshirt. The rules for those are different, and I don't know them off the top of my head, but I believe there is some formula that goes into play with what percentage of games you played before suffering a season ending injury. They are reviewed and granted on a case-by-case basis.

So cycling back to McChesney, he could play in our scrimmage against Northern Colorado and exhibition contest against College of Idaho and maintain his redshirt status. But after that game, if he enters the court in any other game he loses the redshirt.

I think he redshirts.

I would love to see basketball let a kid play in 8-10 and be able to redshirt like football

This is the same podcast that bpd noted below: https://www.1069thefan.com/podcast/the- ... aig-smith/

I know there have been other posts addressing the Aggies' average height versus the Jazz, but I would bet looking at that roster that the Aggies' average height is greater than any current NBA team.
