Barnes is a mystery. I’ve given up on ever seeing him contributing meaningfully here.
Reluctantly, I have begun seeing him in that same way -- spot duty here or there maybe. But he's kind of sunk to the bottom of the depth chart for me.
For a player to be meaningful, he has to be available. I don't know if he even suited up for the bowl game---I assume he did but the participation chart doesn't show he played any snaps. Sawchuk was playing injured and Barnes couldn't sub in???
I do wish we had a page for snap counts in the stats in the box score. And also some notation somewhere that shows an active player that didn't suit up (injury for example) with an asterisk or a footnote notation.........or something.
Adding to the Barnes mystery is the fact that more than one person who’s had a chance to see him at practice during the past year has said he “looks fantastic”.

Time for me to move back to Softball, I guess............
The men’s basketball team looks really good; you should watch them. Very athletic and legitimately have 8 players that could start. The big 12 is incredibly deep again but I think this team can finish in the top half of the conference, if not top 4. If they don’t it will be a major disappointment and the season will have turned south on par with the Trey Young season.
