Seven games into the 2008 season and the Texas State men's basketball team is already losing players. Not due to injury, but sources have said they quit due to playing time.
Tre Nichols and Gordon Taylor are no longer Bobcats. Nichols and Taylor are no longer on the roster on the Web site, nor have they dressed in recent games.
Nichols was a heavily-recruited guard out of Killeen. He played in three games for Texas State, averaging 12 minutes and seven points per contest. Nichols was one of the Bobcats' best defenders in his short time, notching five steals.
Taylor, who walked-on in 2007, played in five games this season. He never accumulated much playing time and as a walk-on, it's difficult. He saw six minutes per game this season, averaging 1.8 ppg.
The loss of Nichols and Taylor leaves Texas State with 12 players. It should increase Corey Jefferson and Ryan White's playing time at point guard. Brent Benson should also see an increase in minutes with no one pushing him.
