A big reason for his suspension was that Coach Phillips thought it was more important for Dejuan to focus on school and graduating to get ready for the real world pretty much.

That was in his post but I edited it out because I don't think legal troubles need to be disscussed here.

i thought it was ok to put in there but i understand why you took it out. I figured if i just mentioned it and didnt turn it into anything personal against him it was fine.

-The Bison will struggle at the point. Vaughn is a solid player, but he's a 2, not a true 1. Teams will push the pace and apply constant pressure, that will cause the Bison problems. Vaughn will struggle on both ends against quicker guards and if he's the point he'll almost always be playing quicker guys. Can't tell about Lundberg. Pennick is best suited to spot duty, the longer he's on the court the less effective he becomes. Zastrow has the skills/tools and mindset, he's the best 1 they've got now. Being the lead guard is alot to ask of a true freshman, he'll get beaten up physically if he has to play extensive minutes.
-Tveidt is a stud. He'll have to take over games for stretches on both ends of the court for the Bison, he's capable of doing it. If teams find ways to neutralize him, Bison struggle big time. Carlson is a good complimentary player, finds ways to score, board, make plays without much being run for him. Guys his size who are more athletic will cause him problems, and there are plenty of those guys out there. I can't tell if he's got a consistent mid-range jumper, if he does, it will help keep more athletic players honest.
-Who will step up inside? Someone has a chance to earn some big minutes. Maybe they do it by committee; Sussenguth, Flowers, Nagel, Aaberg sharing minutes. I don't expect much offensively from the interior.
-Freshmen: Zastrow, Felt, Aaberg. Wish they all could have redshirted, but that's water under the bridge. Felt can shoot the ball, good offensive instincts, he'll struggle defensively. Teams will attack him when he's on the court. Aaberg will be good, but he's a big young guy and he looks young. He needs time to gain strength and pull everything together, almost all young big guys need some time. He'll show flashes this year but won't be consistent.
Bison will take a step or two back. Point guard and post are areas of concern.
