I don’t see him as a project…he’ll be playing next year.
Any insight into where the scholarship is coming from?
We all wondering this indeed...........

I agree. He seems like the perfect fit for Coach Richey's offense, someone that can be at the foul line to control the weave style offense, make a great pass or shoot a three pointer. He will play a lot next year.

The only way he plays alot is if Repass is not ready to step up, time will tell.......................

Mounce, Gurley, Lawrence, Repass, and Molnar all redshirted. Slawson, Hein, and Vanderwal didn't but If not for the extra Covid year I suspect Richey would have second guessed not redshirting Slawson. If Bowser can defend the paint he can play but history says Richey likes to redshirt front court guys to allow them to mature and develop.

Agree, if Repass is ready then a redshirt for Bowser could be in the cards............

it will be interesting to see where this scholarship comes from.i agree that lawrence graduating is the most likely answer.the other possibilities include perhaps one of the freshman asks for his release.or one of the returning rotation players seeks more playing time elsewhere.whitt,or tyrese maybe?hope the answer comes sooner rather than later.whatever it is am sure the coaches know and hope they will announce it soon.

Don’t count on it, FU is very tight lipped when it comes to things like this. We probably won’t know until the roster is updated and there is a name missing,

Whitt doesn't have many options, he's got to lean into Bob development now
