Apathy & A Young Team

[connel]

No one cares. This board which probably has the "best" and most intense fans is dead. We just got taken to the woodshed back to back at home. I didn't feel we had a puncher's chance in either game. Would love to see the stat sheet last night for deflections. Seemingly every possession Marquette had their hands on the ball. The number of live ball turnovers 25-30 feet from the basket was astounding. This is just a bad mix of players. No movement on offense. Clueless at times on defense.

Until you see this over and over in person it's hard to grasp. I do continually forget how young we are. It isn't so much making all the new pieces fit together as it is we are just a young & inexperienced team on the floor. Last night we mostly played:

Felton - Freshman
Coleman - Sophomore
Dual - Sophomore
Aligbe - Junior
Godswill - Freshman
Middleton - Sophomore

Marquette starts 2 Juniors and 3 Seniors that have been in the program for years. And they are highly talented. It shows.

This season has been cooked since December. Shaheen’s “my teams always get better” remarks never materialized. We are actually getting worse.

In prior years, we’d be hopeful about the development of Coleman and to a lesser extent Scotty and Felton. But it’s hard to shake the concern that Coleman will leave for money, along with anyone else who kills it over the last two months.

Pretty bleak times for Seton Hall.

I would like the staff to focus less on athletic high ceiling guys who may put it together and more on high IQ, high effort guys who have shown results.

Example not give 300k to a lazy apathetic point guard who has the raw skills of an NBA Prospect

INSTEAD

Give 75k to a few high IQ midwestern kids from low D1 programs who have proven they play hard and smart and put up results allbeit it maybe vs inferior competition
