Similar to the Ricky Walker situation of course. Do we play JROB if he’s less than 100% when we are already a lock for the tournament? Of course not! Somehow that’s a controversial take around these parts of town! Basketball is basketball and I’m sure Jrob will integrate back in seamlessly when the time is right. It’s time we give Buzz the respect he deserves as he always seems to be a step ahead of the pack. A true mastermind/visionary. Let JROB dress out for senior night and let him start the opening tip, then take him out immediately to a 5 minute standing ovation as we hoist his jersey into the rafters. Then let him rest until the ACC tournament. That’s the difference between a Buzz and a Fuente, Buzz is always analyzing and number crunching, trying to get an edge any way he can. That’s what I want to see more of out of Feunte(but that’s another story for another time, mainly his philosophy about rarely going for it on 4th and 3 or less from anywhere on the field, and his shot gun dive plays on the goal line, but anyways)

The rest of our games are just for seeding, which is irrelevant, IMO. Seeding doesn’t matter. You wanna win the NCAA tournament? Guess what? You are gonna have to beat some darn good teams no matter what seed you are. Give me an 8 or 9 seed ALL DAMN DAY. Let us come up on a 1 seed in the second round with a FULLY HEALTHY JROB ready to roll. as the kids say these days, “I want all the smoke”

I LOVE the tidbit about Buzz being a kinesiology major. I trust Buzz’s judgement on this one as he obviously is a master of the human body and understands the time it takes to recover from various injuries. Hopefully Fuente can learn from this as well. (Protect your studs and get them healthy)

Buzz also looks good from a PR standpoint with FSU coach Leo Hamilton by announcing JROB being out over 24 hours ahead of game time.
