High on Okorafor and Toumi

When we’re feeling good about these guys after beating Wagner, you know things are bad. If they perform well against VCU, then we have something to work with.

Never forget when Tae Davis dominated Monmouth and how this board reacted. Let’s keep things in check and realize the state of the program. The only way to fix this is by winning and winning big. Overcoming losses against Fordham and Hofstra will be an extremely tall task. Gotta start stacking wins.

Time to cut Dylan Addae-Wusu some slack.

There isn't anyone who would be critical of his hustle and effort. He is undersized to play forward, doesn't shoot well enough to be the shooting guard, and does not handle the ball well enough to be the point guard. That being said he is on the roster and can play a role. It is up to Sha to make the best use of him so he can contribute until someone else forces Sha to move him to the bench where he can be the 6th man etc..

DAW obviously has his flaws, but if you like raising an NIT banner than you should be giving him a ton of slack. He was the only guy that actually showed up with energy and effort in that first NIT game last year and basically willed us into waking up towards the end of that game. Without him we don’t win the NIT last year.

Give Sha some time to work his magic.

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.
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.

Time to cut Dylan Addae-Wusu some slack.

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.
Also played well in the Big East tournament game last year when they hammered us. He wasn’t the reason.

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.
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.

Always plays hard will always give you points , rebounding , assists and steals in every game . The problem is he is not a point guard.
