I've been a big Mike Rose guy for a long time. I thought he was underutilized his soph and junior years and senior year until about midway through the season. I thought one of the biggest mistakes Rose made was by not redshirting Mike last year. I saw him buried behind Riechner, Balderson, Broadus, Ainge, Cummard, Emery last year and knew he'd be buried by most of the same guys this year, and we might never see him reach his potential.

It took him until midway through his senior year, but his shooting finally cracked him into the rotation, and he rewarded his uncle for it. I loved watching the quick release and the rainbow arch. He would make some bonehead plays, but I thought his D was underrated, and his shooting really opened things up.
