Another year for Cowan?


Recommended Posts

NCAA has already ruled to give “spring” athletes an extra year of eligibility because of all this. They are considering doing the same for “winter” athletes. Basketball is a “winter” sport. 
 

If the option were there, would Cowan want to come back for a 5th year?

On Sr Day I heard that he is already in a Masters program. Another year and he could just finish that.  He had missed out on the most important part of his Sr year. He could come back and set the all time scoring record. The negatives would obviously be more classes and a year missed of earning. Whether that earning is in basketball or another field.

I hope so.  If he came back along with Stix we would be one of the favorites to win it all.  Jalen might be a lottery pick so if he left I would completely understand.  Hope he comes back though.

As far as I'm concerned, every senior on every team across the country should have the opportunity to come back.  Doesn't matter what team or conference. They had their chance at glory snatched away.  And that sucks.

Could be his Senior year he was in a master's program.  Tim Tebow did something similar I think, where he finished school early but used his last year on a Master's program.  Maybe it wasn't Tebow, but I know it was someone famous, college wise.  I wouldn't think he'd come back.  I think he has enough on his resume to play in NBA D-League or overseas, if not the NBA.  I hope and think Jalen might come back, but who knows.

    • Most teams put their best defender at SS, not 3B.   Henderson is the most talented infielder on the team.  2B is probably the best spot for Holliday.   The Orioles may or may not be comfortable with Mayos defense at 3B.  Pretty sure they are comfortable with Westburg and Urias over there.   Teams don't generally rearrange their best middle infield defense so they can put their best guy at 3B.
    • Or they are confident he will be back and they can weather the storm. 
    • It must be so demoralizing for a player to put in the hard work and have the type of Spring that Stowers has had to know that there are people saying that your best value to an organization is to be good enough to be traded from that organization.  These players have got to have thick skin,  especially those that haven't got a big contract yet and don't know if they are ever going to make a regular MLB roster.   Tough business. 
    • I think they can matter but not at face value. Veteran pitchers are going to be tuning their pitches more than trying to get guys out. But young players without a guaranteed spot will at least be trying to showcase their skills and make the team. Stowers' 7 HRs are somewhat relevant in my eyes. That is such an outlier number that I imagine it has to move the needle a bit, especially with two in the last game being against a big league veteran. I don't put much stock in Jackson Holliday's spring training OPS. He got a gift triple, and his one success vs a lefty was against the third fastball in a row from one of said veteran pitchers who was probably just working on his fastball that inning, so I think it's probably a bit inflated. Though for all I know, he got unlucky in the ABs that didn't make the news. I imagine the front office has access to more useful numbers than what we see, taking into account the pitchers they faced, the set of pitches they faced, etc. Those numbers are more likely to be used to make a roster decision.
    • If that no option waiver claim is liked by Elias as much as they liked Coloumbe last year.  It really just depends who is out that and DFA’d at the end of ST and before OD. I think Krook and Ort were pretty good gets already.
