My.point was, you have to earn your playing time in most instances. That's what every player is told, regardless. How could Connor have "earned" minutes over C Williams, a player that's been in the program for 2 years? One possibility is that he's the head coach's son. The other possibility is that he's a better player.
Remember, I was responding to a poster that said Connor was a mid major basketball player, that wouldnt get more than spot minutes. I happen to think he was a big upgrade over C Williams, so that decision didn't upset me. I also think he's a big upgrade over Bohannon at the PG spot, assuming he can play some sort of defense that doesn't resemble a turn style.
That doesn't eliminate the possibility of him getting a leg up because he's Fran's kid.
The telling tale will be Patrick and how he's handled. There is no way he's strong enough to be an upgrade over anyone at the 4 or Joe Wieskamp at the 3. It will be interesting to see how many minutes he gets as a FR.
