4 Days In March
- Thread starter Piratz
- Start date
Sha is adamant about using DAW. We’re force feeding him. And it’s backfiring spectacularly but we still keep doing it.
I hope by March Dual shows he can be a starting PG in the BE.

Well, it’s getting near January and so far I don’t see it. Still hoping.
Dual is garbage. Do not bring him bsck. What s waste of money he was
Good thinking. Let’s make that decision in December.
If Dual can’t supplant DAW at some point this year then he’s a bust.
We had two horrible sequences with both guys last night. Dual’s drive to the basket before the half was another disaster. He had no idea if he was going to dish or shoot and committed to neither option. He never lifted the ball higher than his waist and seemed surprised when the tie up was called. He and DAW give me no comfort when the have the ball with the clock winding down. Commit to Felton for the future and live with his mistakes but teach him. The potential is there. He’s the future. The other two are not.
Seems like coach is too proud to admit mistakes, or he wants to be seen as a genius when all of us can clearly see whats in front of us.
I think Dual has talent, especially defensively. But DAW as a ball handler is legitimately one of the worst decisions I have ever seen in college basketball. It's just such a terrible decision that is tried over and over and over again.
Also, DAW is a 5th year senior, who can't play next year. Why on earth are you taking the time now to develop him as a point guard when is A) awful at it and B) can't play next year and C) have younger players behind him??
Felton's back to back baskets off the dribble when we were down 14-3 was telling. The offense was so stagnant from the basket Coleman scored at 18:25 until Felton back to back at the 12:41 and 12:01 mark. I wish Felton played more and wish he was handling the ball on the last possession.
I really hope we can keep Felton, Coleman, Middleton, Gus, Godswill and then get people who can rebound, people who can shoot, and people who play fundamentals.
I haven’t been impressed by Duals defense at all. He’s consistently getting blown by .
Coleman is going to be tough. He's a player that could help a wealthier school win now. The other guys as of now still need work so I believe we have a shot to keep the rest. The bigger issue in my opinion is we need to start winning games. I'm not sure how you convince someone who gave a large amount of money for a 2-18 team to give the same. They could give 10% of what they gave and have the same chance at just as good results. We need something to excite the base to give money.
The only days in March that will matter will be the days when the transfer portal opens.
You need him + a backcourt + a legit scoring PF.
In addition to returning Middleton, Erheriene, Yalden, maybe Felton and Dual and hoping they gel and improve under Sha. But with the way this team looks Sha’s taking a hit too bc it’s so bad.
Hopefully with the new coach hired it’s opened time for someone to be scouting transfers all season.
Felton looks like a 2G to me. He’s got enough ability to handle the ball and his shot has a pretty nice touch to it. I mean everyone’s basically a combo guard now, but he can play some point as a back-up. I just don’t see the skills of a quality PG there even though it’s probably better than what we’re doing with Addae-Wusu already if he got more run. But Sha seems too stuck on DAW.
We have nearly 3 months left of the season. Unless you’re going to close shop and not watch (some will), you’re hoping for development and improvement. You’ll know who is part of the future and who is not. Arrive at MSG with an actual rotation and some improved play, take a swing.
I want Coleman to be a part of my future, but if he keeps carrying us with 20+ point performances, what leads us to believe he won’t be poached by someone with deeper pockets?
It’s a very difficult time to stay positive about the future outlook.
Yep. And Coleman may end up having a better year than Dre Davis last year while also having more eligibility left.
He's going to be in high demand, but we have the advantage of time. Start getting the money in order. Start having the conversations with him and his agent. Start figuring out who you want to surround him with.
Coleman is virtually gone. youd have to overpay. $$$ rules and we don't have it.
Choose your words more carefully. No one on the team is garbage. They are players trying their best who may or may not be Big East players.
I'd bet he's already being contacted. People also see the potential in him and it sounds like he was one of Sha's priorities in the offseason. I would assume he's our highest paid player by far and we probably had to overpay what you typically would a freshman 6th man to keep him.
Thanks for saying that. So sad that it has to be said.
And who is doing this kind of strategic work for the program right now? Sha? Who do they go to when the tampering starts, who is all over that? Sha?
IDK, that and actually developing and coaching and managing the team seems like a lot of work for one person to do well.
Hes gone to a bigger bag. Guarantee hes been contacted for at least high 6 figures
