The story sounds like a "negative" instead of a "positive". This is what we have all expected. We've kind of beat the "minutes" situation to death. Troy was a forward who would be behind Darger, Rene, Shaw, Santee & Mitchell for playing time this year. The following year we add Lopez and probably at least one other big. His "minutes" projection for the next 3 years was about 5 mpg.
Troys best option is to go to a Juco so he can play this year, and then go to a D1 team as an experienced player. If he transfers to a D1, he will loose a year of eligibility sitting out this season, as he has already used his redshirt year.
Just as with Kentucky (Williams), UCLA (Chance) and other schools, you have seen freshman transfer out during the last few weeks due to lack of playing time. When a player understands his situation on the teams depth chart, and then see's the team recruit outstanding athletes at his position, it doesn't take them long to put 2 + 2 together and understand their playing time is going to be very limited. We'll probably loose one player a year, every year, for the same reason. If thats not happening here, then we are no longer improving.
