You list Fouss as a starter last year. He started 8 games almost entirely when Khalifa was hurt. You list Knell as someone who started some and came off the bench some. He started 28 games and only came off the bench after an injury.
Saunders wasn't even our 6th man as we had the 6th man of the year in the Big 12 and it was not Saunders. But now you are talking opposites. No one thought Spencer Johnson was going to keep that spot after he graduated.
Hall was a starter last year and we brought in a lottery pick to take over for him. Kind of the same reason that AJ will start at the 4.
Saunders is our best player since Jimmer. If you think they are moving him to the bench you are wrong.
Anyway, I just don't get why you make stuff up. I mean say your point without saying Fouss was a starter and Knell was only sometimes. It is silly. The truth is that Knell was a starter and is again this year. Fouss wasn't a starter and isn't again this year (I mean he did have one start when Keita was out so maybe you are counting him?).
