He was, but if he put his name in portal.Several reasons come to mind , but I would not imagine he would play in the NIT with his name there. We are playing 7 deep. So it draws me to conclude we are not playing another game. Wishing thinking? Probably.
This could be distressing. Does he believe CKK is staying and therefore he'd be on the bench for another year?
Doubt it matters who the coach is. I bet he’s been told he’s not getting any nil.
Have to look deeper than Huggy recruited him so he must be tough, good.
Sometimes there are other reasons. Good kid but not very good.

Can’t be what you’re not.
He reminded me a bit of Matt Shaw. Good size, nothing in the post, could shoot it a bit. Matt was much better though.
Why do people think we're going to the NIT? We're a mediocre MWC team with a depleted roster that couldn't get out of the quarterfinals again with 0 big non-conference wins... in what world is that NIT?
He was getting hot right before he got booted off the team. Maybe it was a injury? That's how I recall it.
He still has eligibility? How will we ever replace his 1.5 rebounds per game?
Cottrell wore 0, because that's how many minutes he averages a game.
Oh my bad I thought that number reflected his game effort.
Many more to come They should all put names on portal and see if new coach wants them or not
He played soft, he wants to stay at the 3 and shoot, and that was his game, not enough talent to have him on the team, Hicks is another that needs to be shown the door.
I like to have Henley back, i take Cherry, and if we can get good coach who can help N'Diaye and Bannarbie i bring them back, i have no clue on Evans since he was RS, and that's not good if he couldnt beat out any of the guys before him. The whole back court needs to be replaced.

Hicks isn't even a dime a dozen. He's a bull in a China shop. That's not a bad quality on defense, where he was just ok (in my opinion), but he was horrible on offense. That's not what you want in a 2, 3.
I could lay flat on my back at center court for the entire game and average more rebounds per game than Cottrell.
Hicks should talk to Mullen about playing DB. He is always not only the quickest guy on the court but also the fastest. He's playing the wrong sport.
I don’t disagree with you.
Plus, he has great height which would make him a commodity for that position.
Seems like Cottrell was a good locker room and culture guy. Teammates and coaches loved him and he was okay with getting no minutes--never a cancer in the locker room or a problem off the court. You get 13 schollies, and a Cottrell makes your team better in different ways--but when you're down to 8 guys and he has to get minutes you can see he's a soft finesse euro 4 who shouldn't be getting a ton of minutes at a good program. But you're not realistically going to be more than 10 deep on your bench, so you should have room for guys like that. Kinda of sucks that we're going to trash him as though the end of the bench guy is some kind of villain.
I wish him well.

Maybe he can go play with Tillis. Looks like the Anteaters might get an auto bid to the Big Dance. Close game with San Diego right now.
Not a villain but he was never in position that he was supposed to be in. When he got on the court, he just hung around the 3pt line, got lost in defense, and couldn't rebound. He only had a somewhat "productive" game in the MWCT because he was spelling our guards at the 3 spot at times. He wasn't a great shooter, yet that's all he took it felt like. So Villain no, but a player who spent 2 years too long on the bench eating a scholarship we could've filled with a hybrid 3/4 gut, absolutely
Yeah, there is all that time that Kevin runs a 12 deep rotation /s
From a purely metrics stand point you're not wrong. You could have got more on the court quality by replacing him with someone that could give you something when forced into minutes. Injuries can do that to any roster, and Krugs was swimming uphill with that a bit at the end.
But from a team chemistry point I think he had plenty of value (was almost always the guy hosting recruits, good grades, community work, never a piss or a moan), and the fact that Kruger couldn't out recruit him for any minutes is more about Kruger's failures than Ike's.
So villain is probably a strong word, but I don't know why anything has to be said negative about him. Looks like he did everything right but be good enough at basketball.
We have had bad players before what I didn’t like about him was his effort last season a number of times the ball would go right by him and he wouldn’t even half attempt the rebound and get out hustled to the ball by some guard.
That's fair, he doesn't like contact either. Still, I saw Bear Cherry dog it a lot more than Ike this year. I watched Bedford some nights not even try get to the defensive glass. Consistent effort or lack thereof has been a recurring theme on these Kruger teams the last 2 years. Of course we still have guys that are about Mychal Martinez so maybe I'm just the weird outlier here haha.
