The Bobcat Nation

With conference play starting December 28th, I am curious about the players buried on the Bobcats' bench. Other than Carter Ash and John Olmsted, I don't know much about the Bobcat backups. Why aren't they playing? Will any of them contribute this season? Should I be looking forward to seeing any of them debut? If anyone has any information about them, I would appreciate it.

(1) Aiden Gair (injured?)
(2) Jaqari Miles (injured?)
(3) Jaden Geron (injured?)
(4) Calum Rutherford (redshirt?)
(5) Royce Robinson (redshirt?)

Since it is a rebuilding year, I think Coach Logie should add Carter Ash and John Olmsted to the rotation. At this point, why not?

Coach Logie has stated in a pregame interview that Royce and Calum are redshirting. I also am wondering especially about Aiden and Jaden. I agree Carter should be playing more, if he doesn't play this year he sure won't be playing other years right?

Jaqari Miles and Jaden Geron both are hurt and I think they are set to return sometime this season.

Aiden Gair hasn't even been on the bench, I saw him in street clothes in the bleachers for the two games I was at over Thanksgiving week -- and I don't know his exact status on the team at this time.

Put the MT KIDS IN yes we are bad anyway may as well do it I am pulling for him!

The coaching staff will play the 5 players at any given time who they feel will give us the best chance to win the game. I'm gonna say that they don't care what their hometown is listed as.

At some point, instead of shortening up the rotation to try to win one game, you gotta coach for the long season and play more guys off the bench. You can't play 20+ games with a 7 man rotation like they did against Green Bay, Long Beach and Rocky. It's too much.

I agree with BLACKnBLUEnGOLD. It is obviously a rebuilding year. Coach Logie should play everyone who is available. What has he got to lose now, the Cats having already been beaten by Rocky?

Plus, personally, I would like to see Ash, Geron, Miles, and Gair play. I like the fact that Coach Logie seems to have already worked Olmsted into the rotation.
