Five Guys and Whys: Basil’s Excused Absence

Much like Spike, it's hard to give Basil a grade. We just haven't seen much of him after he spent last year red shirting because - get this - a lack of available playing time. In the last six games, he's not broken double figures in the minute column, and he's even caught a coach's decision dnp. So sure, grade the limited he's given us, but more so, answer why is he not being asked to turn in assignments. Is he going to be another Bryson Scott? Another Kendall Stephens? Will our best athlete ever be trusted by Coach Painter?
