Bliss, Lang and Robinson

these were the three players that didn't play last night. Sanchez said that Bliss is still dealing with a foot issue (of course nobody asked him about an expected timeline for his return) and Lang will redshirt, but did not say anything about Robinson so have to assume his not playing was a DNPCD. That is worrisome for Bliss to still be dealing with a foot issue and missing valuable time early in the season. It seems like an injury he's had linger for some time and likely will continue to.

Interesting decision for Lang after Sanchez said after taking over that there were no discussions on red shirting anyone other than Gertrude. Of course it could have been something Lang came to him with. I wonder if he was given Warley's open scholarship since he was a preferred walk on. He was going to provide some solid depth in case of injury or extreme foul trouble, but likely wouldn't have played much.

Robinson to me is the interesting one. He's already redshirted and waited a year to play and didn't play in the first game even with the foul trouble Saunders was in so you have to assume he is only going to play in garbage time mostly. I would not be surprised to see him transfer before the 30 day window closes if he has been told he's not going to play, but that would mean sitting out another year so who knows. When Saunders and Buchanon can stay out of foul trouble plus with the trust they already have in Cofie and of course Power who can play the 4 there will likely be very little opportunity for Robinson to play this year barring an injury to someone.
