The sad part to me about McDermott not being able to redshirt this year, is that by the time Big McD's recruits get in here and are no longer freshmen, Little McD will only have a year of eligibility. Truly, this year is a throw-away. The seniors have mostly checked out. Although I believe Korver still cares and is working hard, he just does not possess D1 talent. Lawson clearly doesn't give a darn. Ashford and Runnels give little effort these days, and really were never D1 talent anyway. Like I have said before, our seniors would have made a nice DII team but that's about it.
Although Young is too inconsistent to be a go-to guy and Echinque is still trying to figure out MVC officiating (How was it not a charge when Bradley's player puts his head down and barrells into Echinique on the baseline drive? - but I digress), AY, Big E and Little McD make a solid basis for any team. The problem is the three of them can't all be on the floor for 40 minutes, and it is tough to win any game playing 3 on 5. Hopefully, Ethan Wragge gets his foot problems figured out (and learns to play defense) so he can be back on the court next year.
CU will probably end up the 5 or 6 seed in the MVC with an early exit in St. Louis. I see little risk in missing anything by scheduling my flight home for Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
