We have a scholarship which has produced 10 minutes of playing time in the last 2 years.

I can only speculate as to what you are agreeing with me about, since all I have done is point out something that is public knowledge. 8)

I'll trade McMasters for someone else:) Baker is a good player, if he can get healthy.

It is only the beginning of the season and McMasters is hurt and hasn't had the time yet to prove himself.

Honestly, I am a huge Tyler Baker fan, but if he is not able to play this season and prove that he is worth his scholly, then... I can't believe I'm about to say this, but... (breathe in... breathe out....) Give it to someone else!

With that being said I think he will play in the Anderson game and then slowly become a big part of our team and maybe even make his way into the starting lineup.

I think I can say confidently that was a referral to Baker.

Baker... McMasters will probably redshirt. But who knows. I think it would be smart if he did.

Actually I don't think Baker will start because Coach will not start him over Kyle. But he will probably see a lot of time. We could use his size if he gets healthy... But that's the problem!

I'm not sure. I have heard that he might be back. But I have also heard that he will redshirt. I don't really know who to believe. But I think it would make sense for him to redshirt because I don't think he hasn played in enough games to lose his redshirt this year.

coolhandluke and I talked to his dad at the Clemson game and he said he meets with a trainer a couple times a day and is trying his hardest to get healthy quickly but I agree I think it might be good if he redshirted....but it is McKay's call and he knows what he is doing

The next time we see Carter on the floor we will know he is not redshirting. He has appeared in 5 games, and 6 would put him over 20%, which is the max allowed.
