  1. It would have been a big surprise to me if he didn’t show up this coming season. 19-20 season? I doubt it but you never know. He would have to really WANT to play and prioritize another year over family and life to do so. Of all the players that I would like to see off the roster to open up space, Z is not one.

  2. Yeah, Z is still the main spark plug in this team. The man’s integrity alone is amazing to have around.
