Red Shirts and Iati

[B9j2j6s]

Does anyone have an idea of what Jacob will bring the table? Is he more of a shooting guard like his brother or point guard? Also what about the other red shirts?

 

BTW does anyone know if the alumni association is doing anything for the sbu game this weekend?

From what I've heard....Iati is more of a PG then a SG, he does have a nice stroke though....I know that Puk is up to 240lb and would be a strong contender to be our starting center if he stepped onto the court right now.....Watt's need to gain some strength but I've heard very good things about him also....

 

Word of caution...MJ was also most improved...sometimes there is no telling what a kid will do once he gets on the court.

 

Personally...I've learned to expect nothing out of freshmen as they are up as often as they are down. IMO, that's why we are so bad this season, we are relying on freshmen....which in terms of W-L is a disaster. We'll be better next season simply because these kids will mature....hopefully Brown will bring in a couple of tough JUCO's with the three 'ships we'll have and anything that the freshmen give us will be a bonus.

 

Can't get much worse then this!

 

11 more games to go before this painful season is over....hang in there!

In the second half especially there seemed to be a lot of holding the ball and looking for Timmy on offense. It seemed nobody else wanted to shoot.

 

Final stats:

Timmay: 19 shots taken.

Rest of team: 26 shots taken.

MJ is a zero on offense...he refuses to put a shot up....simply refuses to. He had some looks and nothing...didn't even fake a shot. 19 minutes...one shot!

I know it is coachspeak to talk up the players, but enough already.

 

MJ is the most improved player? His jumpshot is much more developed? Please.

 

Then there is the whole "best shooter" thing. Last year we couldn't shoot because our two best shooters were redshirting (Logan and Lindfors.) Then the best active shooters had injuries (Barazza and Allen.)

 

Now we are having trouble scoring, but the two guys we have redshirting this year (Watts and Puk) would be starting.

 

It just seems like exactly what we need is always just out of reach, and never on the court.

Sounds a lot like Jamar's soph and Jr seasons...JUST SAYIN!

 

You hit the nail squarely on the head.

We were sold a bill of goods this past summer....I for one learned a lesson.

 

Very little positive about this season.....we have a lot of holes to fill.

Edit: Wrong thread........

It also seems like every attempt is from several feet behind the line.

I was commenting on that at the game. Logan is having trouble finding his stroke yet he keeps moving farther from he basket.

My seat partner likened it to Barazza last year.

 

By the way, it was great to see Barazza on the court for warm-ups. Too bad about all the injuries.

Here's a question...where do we need more help...offense or defense? Both areas have been frighteningly bad.

Hopefully some scrambled eggs and bloody Mary's.

 

Seriously.
