Chris Wyatt

I'm going to assume that Brown will start Wyatt because he is an upperclassman. How many games until Todd Martin becomes the starter and Wyatt goes to the bench - my guess is 3 games.

Chris Wyatt is an enigma!!!!!! Right now he is seemingly healthy but they haven't done anything strenuous. Once they start practicing hard every day my bet is he will "WIMP OUT" and open the door for Martin to start by default in game one.

 

If Wyatt is healthy he should start over Martin because it is really tough opening against $iena with 3 new faces in the line up in front of 10,000+.

 

Please don't forget that I have been saying good things about St. Hillaire, if Wyatt or Martin stumble don't be surprised to see "Q" in the starting rotation. He is the most athletic player in the UA program by far.

I know you're down on Wyatt but he was the only guy last year who displayed any toughness in going after rebounds. No matter what we should be improved at that position this year and anyone who gets minutes is going to have to fight for them. You have certainly piqued my interest in St. Hillaire. I remember reading something about him when he transferred in that described him as "freakishly athletic." We could use some freakishly athletic especially at the forward spot. I was wondering what you thought of Hughes? He would seem like a lock for the starting center spot.

[Patch]

In my opinion Hughes will start. I hear he's strong, fairly athletic, solid defensively, rebounds well and is somewhat limited offensively but will give us more offensively than any center we've had for the last few years.

 

As for Wyatt I hope he's healthy all season and plays to his potential which would make him a very solid AE Power player. But I must go on what I have seen and what I have heard from very reliable sources over the past 2 seasons and that in spite of his physical appearance he's soft!!!! and soft players don't make it with Coach Brown. Look at the heart shown by Jamar and Levi and compare it with Banks and Knotts. Banks is gone already and Knotts may be eating his way out of Albany if he doesn't change his ways.

 

Kids like Iati, Martin and Hughes are kids who want to compete to play, they came to UA to play not watch and that's the attitude Brown "LOVES"!
