Kuany has been in uniform that last 3 games. Not sure if he was, or will be, eligible to play.
I really got my first good look at Kuany during the Muskingum game. The kid looks like he was recruited from an Australian refugee camp. I'd be surprised if we see any production from him this season.
lol man stop it
He has good pedigree. And good tape. All his brothers are rail thin and played college basketball. I believe both now play in the Australian league.
Yea, idc if Kuany is 195-200 lbs at his height. If his athleticism can play this year, I’m all for the jolt during MAC play.
Does anyone know for 100 percent sure that he's eligible now to play against CMU? I've seen a lot of speculation, but if there's been a direct quote from a coach on this I've missed it.
This is where once again having no media presence hurts to ask a simple question to Boals. Is Kuany redshirting? I thought we were under the belief that he was redshirting? I'm certainly not expecting him to play this season.
SBH caught wind of an interesting comment a few weeks back from an OU staffer — he posted in the Redshirts thread. This has led to speculation that perhaps Kuany isn’t redshirting and is eligbile as of 1/1. We’ll find out soon either way.
Here's the deal as I see it. If Kuany plays, that means less time/minutes for Evans ... and both lose that freshman redshirt. Unless Kuany is playing 15-20 minutes a game this has more negatives to it all around than positives.
Just my opinion .. but Portal/NIL has a lot of these coaches spooked about losing players if they don't play them. I guess I get it. But having Kuany-Evans fighting for 7-10 minutes a game, instead of just playing one and redshirting one seems counter-productive in the long haul. And you could lose both because of it.
There’s no long haul anymore in college sports. You play year-to-year and hope to retain your best players at the end of each season.
Evans and Kuany are nothing more than unproven commodities at this point. We all need to pump the breaks like our roster is full of future P5 stars destined to get a bag of money for greener pastures. Honestly, I sometimes wish that were the case because we’d be probably sitting at 10-2 and more of a sure thing, instead of wondering what the hell we are after non-conference.
If either of them are able to contribute this season and help win a MAC title, that’s what you play for. There’s nothing counter-productive about that. Worry about next year’s roster next year. There’s a chance neither finish their careers as Bobcats not matter what the outcome is, so who really cares if they’re competing against each other for minutes (it’s not like Evans is getting many of these) at the same time.
