Freemantle Back

[Final4]

Per Cincinnati.com article

[bleedXblue]

I expect around 2 rotations of PT 2-3 minutes in each half

[Xville]

Great news and excited to see him! Hoping that he can be fully healthy with no limitations in a month, but know that ya never know with these type of injuries.

[D-West & PO-Z]

I expect around 2 rotations of PT 2-3 minutes in each half

Based on what?

[IM4X]

Couldn’t come soon enough… unless of course he ends up sidelined again in pain because he came back too soon.

[bleedXblue]

Based on what?

Its a guess dude...geesh

I was seriously asking, didn't mean for it to come across any certain way.

Obviously one would think his minutes will be limited, I didn't know if you saw something out there from Steele or elsewhere that commented on Free's expected minutes.

no i didn't just a guess

I saw where he was practicing.......so assumed that they would want to get him a few minutes.....

Steele said Freemantle will probably get around 8 minutes in an interview Monday

Thanks. Nice to get him reacclimated in a game we should win rather easily. Hopefully all goes well and he can get double digit minutes vs OK State.

[bobbiemcgee]

Like to see Free and Nunge for a few minutes.

[whopper]

I saw signs of frustration last year where too much was expected of him and he played soft of defense to protect self from foul trouble. Also that he may have forced offenses as he saw few options. That won't be the case this year with Nunge and even Miles(even Edwards and Stanley). His numbers will be down but his effectiveness up. Lets hope

[murray87]

Excellent timing with Freemantle. And hopefully Edwards picking up some more court time?

I bet Edwards get pt sporadically based on matchups and foul trouble. Miles and Nunge will split most minutes.

If X goes 4 guards, maybe Edwards will play center with Miles as they are the fastest big men.

Whos minutes is he getting?

[SC in DC]

I would think (and hope) Hunter's

If you are talking Freemantle I agree, but Edwards wont be getting a surge in mins anytime soon with Free coming back.

Exactly Please watch Hunter defensively and how he rebounds. He and Edwards are completely different players. Yes, Hunter needs to stop shooting so much.

[SC in DC]

Sorry, I guess I read that wrong. If talking Edwards, he's only getting mop up minutes as long as everyone else stays healthy.

[IM4X]

I love that Edwards got some significant playing time while Freemantle was out. My brother-in-law (a non-X guy who was watching the VT game with me) was really impressed with Edwards- especially his defense. Still, Edwards doesn’t look quite as comfortable on the court as the more seasoned
bigs (understandably) and I would expect him to have his minutes reduced a bit.

I think we will see that adding Free will allow Travis to find some success with a few different lineups.

The lineup I have been posting that I am most excited to see is “Zach- Jack” together with Nate, Paul and Colby.

[Double Down]

Free-Nunge could be remenicient of Hill-Strong and Grant-Williams. High-low all day long. Watch some old game tape please coach Steele.

Nuke did not announce his presence with authority (yet).

I agree: Let the man go! Turn him loose! Take off the shackles! RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

Per Twitter yesterday, Zach had best practice since the summer. Not so much rust .

[whopper]

Per Twitter yesterday, Zach had best practice since the summer. Not so much rust .. He has a live body which is needed for a pale big man his size. Carter same size but a dead body (like mine). I liked the way he moved in the Ok State game and results will come

[muskiefan82]

Back at full force just in time for THE GAME.

Ohh, to be young again! They can bounce back in a hurry once fully healthy.

[UCGRAD4X]

"best practice" is only relative to the ones that preceded it.

hopefully means the 'rust is off' - let's see what he can do against BSU

could be HUGE

[xavierj]

Yes once he gets his game legs ready and timing, he will Be good. I have liked his passing so far and looking for the open man instead of being a black hole. If he keeps that up, as said above, him and Nunge will be a tough matchup for a lot of teams. Zach just needs to let the game come to him and take good shots and be able to quickly pass if the double teams come.

Nuke announced his presence with authority.

[Roach]

Does anyone know what Freemantle said to the refs that earned him his second technical? Whatever he said must have been really biting, because it appeared so nonchalant but elicited a demonstrable response from the official.

[whopper]

from my son in law..According to Greg: “If i can read lips freemantle is mad that Odom got hit in the head? He said watch that f***ing arm hit him in the head.”

[X-band '01]

He said Gold Star Chili should have sponsored the Shootout instead of Skyline. Some lines should never be crossed.

[atljar]

Not sure on the second, but fairly certain the on the first. The ref had put his hand on Freemantle and said something to him. Zach responded "Dont fucking touch me"
