Sha will have his hands full trying to mesh this diverse bunch into a cohesive defense and offense starting 5 with a bench that hopefully can contribute more than the bench did this past year.
Kudos to Sha in advance for he will have his work cut out for him to turn this group that has lots of potential on paper into a productive season!
I wish him well and expect it will be very interesting for us fans to see how the season unfolds.
Isn't this the same situation for most D1 coaches now? Complete roster turnover every year now. Maybe it's a little easier to get players to buy in that are max effort guys that have something to prove.
I am really intrigued by a few guys on the roster.
- Middleton has top 50 talent and was a freshmen, had some family issues and his coach got fired last year in mid-season. He really excelled during the last 8-10 games though - different player.
- If you read the stuff on Harmon, he was in a really bad place at Western Kentucky, but has two clean years under his belt at Bethune-Cookman and improved in his second year at BC. His ball-handling and court vision look top notch. If he continues to put in the work and listens to Sha, he can be an x-factor. An incredible HS talent...can he get that back or close to it.
- Tubek and Yalden I don't expect major contributions with all of the rust from injuries/other, but both have talent and by January/February have the potential to do more. The video posted above on Yalden is pretty insightful....kid knows the game and had put a lot of time to transform himself (practice, weight loss, weight trainging) but at the end of the day he was a teenager who mad a couple of poor decisions. Will be interested to see what kind of shape he shows up in October.
