Curious about opinions on this. Hull has now played in 3 games I believe. Would you have him play the next two games and use a year of eligibility, or sit him for one of the two to preserve the year?
I’d sit him. Hate the idea of not doing everything we can to win and tough for the seniors, but it’s not like the remaining games this year mean much. Think at this point you play for the future to at least some extent. No idea if he’s the answer going forward - hard to know how much of yesterday was him, how much was UMass. But I thought he played hard and well and I think worth preserving the extra year. If we were in the hunt for something relevant probably would view it differently.
Anyone advocating to play him in both games? Are there any other players in a similar situation?
