  Volkman won't be playing. Late change later in the week. Lorenzo will debut at 5/8.

    I wonder if they didn't name him to avoid discussion about him maybe?

      same the hype on him is crazy. I hope he plays. Volkmans defence is worse than Pezet lol

        I just don't see the upside of Volkman playing, Lorenzo you get the same game, maybe better out of.
        
        I understand the idea that a poor game can be detrimental to a kid that is not ready, at least he would have Moses with him.
        
        Ryles though doesn't really play ducks and drakes. He usually a straight shooter.

        It's prob more the team is decimated right now so all the combinations would be out of wack. Volkman can probably take the bullets for now

        Joash appears to be the best 5/8 at the club currently. Hurry up back Izzy

      Was thinking the same, LB. See this a bit to keep the journo's & pressure at bay.
      
      Hope you are right, Lurker. Will be good to see Lorenzo play, we are going to have to be very patient to EA's point, but, lets hope he can show enough to hold the spot for 2026 & get some valuable experience.
      
      Best of luck to Lorenzo & Nanva.

        I am quiet confident he will show enogh to hold the spot for 2026. I just know there will be people on here cruifying him when he mkes a mistake lol

        Bullshit EA, this site has never relentlessly over-crucified our 5/8th for absolutely miniscule mistakes.
        
        As long as Lorenzo 'stands up' and wins us this game singlehandidly, he has nothing to worry about.
        
        EA > Nightmare Off-Season April 7, 2026 at 4:45pm
        
        Why such low expectations. If he does not lead us to the GF this year I dont want to see his face in an eels jersey next year.
