Gus has shown he can contribute. It is way too early to be critical of him.
It’s hard for posh right now. His head may be in Ohio, but his hearts in South OrangeLook up Posh's stats from Dayton and get back to me. Has scored 9 points total in 3 games. He only started 1 game and got moved to the bench. Dayton fans are trashing him online wondering what his purpose on the team is.
Willard had an issue w an inability to recruit point guards and turn his shooting guards into point guards, which was frustrating not being able to let his 2s play their natural positions. Happened with quincy as well. You gotta roll w jenkins, daw, coleman. Frustrating how highly ranked zion and dual were and getting zero production.I posted my usual top 20 points on the Trove after the game. But there is one point I want to post on the free board.
1. The Carrington Experiment
We are all guilty and that includes me. I stated in the preseason after watching a practice and a second partial workout that Dylan Addae-Wusu had to start. He was playing that well. But as we have seen in the 4 games to date DAW is not a PG. Sha knows that. The fans know that and so does the media. But knowing that DAW should be starting, where do you play him?
Dylan is a swing but Jenkins and Coleman man those positions. And with Harmon and Dual adding little that leaves DAW at the point. An issue former SHU coach Kevin Willard faced (unsuccessfully) with Khadeen Carrington years ago. Playing the point, running the team, controlling tempo is something that takes years of experience. It does not happen overnight. We have not been fair to Dylan, and with the said he's under a ton of pressure. Most not of his doing.
Time to ease up.
Also played well in the Big East tournament game last year when they hammered us. He wasn’t the reason.He's a tough, skilled player. Glue guy who scored 25 vs. Johnnie's when we roasted them last year. Also had a good NIT. Once we get Dual healthy offense should flow better and all players will look better on offense.
Happy he stayed and let's support someone who is part of our program and who plays 100% all of the time.
Has a nice soft touch around the basket and good hands. Is also a good passer and seems to enjoy the game and wants to be aggressive without being mistake prone.Disagree. The offense actually opened up a little yesterday when he entered the game. Our offense is heavily reliant on the pick & roll and so far Gus is the only guy on the roster that actually knows how (or is willing) to set a decent pick.
He's a tough, skilled player. Glue guy who scored 25 vs. Johnnie's when we roasted them last year. Also had a good NIT. Once we get Dual healthy offense should flow better and all players will look better on offense.Always plays hard will always give you points , rebounding , assists and steals in every game . The problem is he is not a point guard.
You lose credit for the negativity if it describes 100 percent of your comments. Same would hold true for an opposite poster.Because in this era if you dare say something negative you’re considered an awful person..
Anyone who has followed SHU basketball over the years should know that no trend, good or bad, is ever permanent.Hope we are not battling DePaul for 10 place.I don’t see us surviving in BE because we will always be near last place in NILand being there will get unbearable eventually.
Look up Posh's stats from Dayton and get back to me. Has scored 9 points total in 3 games. He only started 1 game and got moved to the bench. Dayton fans are trashing him online wondering what his purpose on the team is.Should’ve signed Posh
This time last year, this Board was calling for the benching of Dawes.I know that I'm going to catch a load of crap for this but here goes--- you really cannot put all the blame on Wusu when it should go directly on SHA . His team, his players, his staff, his game plan--the gears are not meshing and it falls on player evaluation. NOT the end all excuse of NIL.
