So you think that's the only problem? How about a lack of overall offensive talent & yet again this year, no shooters. For now we can hang our hat on, "we make our foul shots we beat Fordham & Hofstra.". That's not going to be the case in two weeks. This team is going to get humiliated on a consistent basis if the ball is still in Wusu's hands the majority of possessions. Pete Carrill would have loved him.

Sha put his best player by far on the bench for 13 minutes. What the hell is that about?? When the rest of the players are putrid!!! I just don’t get that.

And no one in the press asked him why?

I know I could easily look this up, but I just want to join the discussion. When was the last time we scored 48 points or less? I am guessing a Saint John’s game from the 1930’s.

How about 2 years ago when we beat Rutgers 45-43 at the RAC.

Seems crazy but who else is there at this juncture?

His recruits.

Sad but true.

Here's more. There is no consistency with the roles of the players now. Until the players understand what is expected of them and stop looking over their shoulders they can't play free and easy. Short of Jenkins no player is playing with confidence.

Sacrifice just a little defense for offense. Because regardless of your defensive excellence you can't win if you do not score.

What’s the problem at PG? This is an injury problem or more than that?

I was obviously joking. They don’t go to class save for a few

Pointed out to you a few back ups that are winning games after you said there were none. With HORRIFIC QB play the Giants were close I'm alot of games. GM malpractice to not give the rest of the roster a chance to win to prop up his abysmal decision to extend Jones. Tons of options were out there and he spent 5 million on Locke who cannot get on the field.

Darnold and Wilson are starters….. Wilson was hurt to start the year. Come on man. I literally provided an up to date list.

I'll begin with a few

1. You have to take these early season games more seriously. The 10 man rotation has cost dearly in two 1 point losses.


2. Chemistry is important and cutting Sha a small break....notice how Davis and Richmond are performing with their new teams in situations not as difficult as at SHU.


3. Jenkins playing 29 minutes yesterday makes no sense.


4. Toumi should play with Godswill and not at C.


5. What's the word on Manny?


6. Is there an issue with Harmon?

Question 1: Can Jordan Derkack score points?

Question 2: If so, can he play for us?

Starting 5 should be

Jenkins
Wusu
Coleman
Toume
Godswill

After that i have no idea but let them play and stop w the mass subs

Wusu is your primary ball handler?

These two losses are going to be very difficult to recover from. At least in prior years we looked bad in the OOC games but we won the games we were supposed to win. They all matter now and Sha doesn't seem to understand that or is unwilling to change.

Of the starters Jenkins played the 4th least minutes (with 1 foul).

I can’t tell what the logic is on the rotations through 3 games. It looks like he’s just throwing combinations out there. He’s hellbent on this notion of 10 players playing 20 minutes or whatever.

The guards/wings – where we thought we had the most talent – is the real epic mess because we have no idea what we’re doing with the ball. That’s coaching. I understand it’s new players, but it’s basketball. They shouldn’t look this bad. Not giving Dual and Harmon a ton of minutes and opting for Addae-Wusu there seems insane to me. DAW is not good enough to play PG against A10 or CAA teams even, c’mon. Is probably part of the “indoctrination” of playing for Sha for them and he’ll sit in this until they comply to whatever he’s asking for. Hofstra’s guards were beating us late and those two combined for 15 minutes?l Pathetic.

He paired Toumi with Yalden at times.

The 4-5 spots should be the easy part. Erheriene has been a positive. He’s raw but has ability. Keep playing him. Yalden can spell him. Aligbe is sort of all over the floor in the Dre Davis role. I think he’s a better defender than Dre, but nowhere near the offensive touch and it’s brutal to watch. At least he and Toumi should be able to give us a platoon at the 4.
