Yes


Wilridge? Dude come on, you're better than that. Parker is clearly and obviously the 4th best all around player on the team, maybe 3rd with Ogbeide. There's no comparison with Wilridge. Parker averages nearly 10 points a game, Wilridge less than a point and a half. He scores over twice the points per minute as Wilridge. He gets over twice the rebounds per minute. He's second on the team in assists. Forget about free throws. Wilridge is playing about like you would expect - a 3-star sophomore. He'll improve. But right now there's no way in the world he should be playing ahead of Parker. He's getting just under 10 minutes a game, which is probably about right.

And you're always talking about what a great rebounder Edwards is. He's not a great rebounder. He's an average rebounder. But just about every other aspect of his game is below average. Like Wilridge, he's a good 3-star sophomore. He'll get better. By the time they're seniors, they'll be solid 6th/7th man type guys. But right now, there's no way he should average over 10-12 minutes a game, but he's getting over 18. That's almost as much as Ogbeide's 20, which is insane.

Our roster isn't the issue. We've got a good enough starting lineup. We could get at least 6-7 more minutes a game from Ogbeide, probably close to the same from Harris, and maybe a couple more from Parker. Crump needs to play more (he's scored more points than Wilridge from less than half the minutes). Take all those minutes away from Edwards, Geno and Kessler, and we're probably sitting here with 15 or 16 wins and in good shape for March.
