In response to SomeGuy
I think Jarrod Simmons is going to be a very good, maybe even great, player for Penn. Right now, however, he's just a very promising freshman who's PT is limited by and large only by his own propensity to make freshman mistakes. He'll come along. But saying that he should be starting ahead of a very solid, experienced junior who's obviously playing well and making a big contribution to the team's success just does't make any sense.
The good news, BTW, is that he's been getting more and playing time as the season has gone on, and at key points in games. He's already played 105 minutes so far this year. He'll probably play at least another 100, getting him halfway to Howard Gensler's 400 minute benchmark.
(Incidentally, that's twice now that Gensler's name has come up today.)
