Standard practice for CF.
I think that's easier said than done. It's not as simple as saying "I got that guy" and off you go. He has to understand the whole defensive scheme and the rotations and how to defend the pick and roll. Very few guys get it right away; for most young bigs their heads are spinning at first and it takes time for the game to slow down for them.
And if Prohm is serious about playing more four guard lineups, that's going to put a ton of pressure on the lone big in the lineup on the defensive side of things. That guy has to make the right reads, help and recover, keep tabs on his guy, be the last line of defense at the rim, and clean the glass. That's a ton to put on an 18 year old joining the team at the semester. I'm not saying it won't happen and it's not an indictment of Lard, I'm just saying it's long odds.

Your mind works in a funny way. People debating if he should play, and the ones that are for it say only if he can help the team, and you automatically assume they are saying he will start and play majority of the minutes.
Considering how terrible this front court is, it doesn't take much of a player to provide hope.
Seems like the opposite from what I'm seeing. Get Young more minutes, more experience.
Hold on folks, we don't even know if he actually exists yet.
What big teams have we been busted by so far?
Yeah, even if he's putting up similar stats as Young, it would be worth it. No doubt in my mind.
That and a better inside defensive presence to compliment Young than Bowie/Holden. Highly unlikely Lard could be play that role, but that is the speculation as the bar is pretty low right now.
McKay had practiced with Iowa St for a full year before he played.
McKay also played two years at the JUCO level.
A technicality. I like it.Pretty sure he has visited campus before so 100% chance you are wrong.
If he is as good as advertised, I can easily see a starting squad next year of Jackson, Wigginton, Babb, Young and Lard. A lot of inexperience and even less experience off the bench.
