Carino: Delgado deserves Big East Rookie of the Year

Agree 100%. If this kid could handle his emotions his production would be even better. He's earned it but will the other coaches vote him in?
 
What Delgado does on a game by game basis makes him head shoulders above all the other. That being said, I think they will screw him and give it to Copeland. I could see Copeland having a monster game Saturday and people remembering that more than Delgado's play the whole year.
 
Love this kid's game and effort. We should be building the team around him.

I think that's been the result of the foul trouble early in the season and over-compensating. Remember when he only played like 15 minutes against Villanova (an OT game) or when Ajou started at Xavier?

I love watching Delgado. He has a ton of emotion, which needs to be reigned in at times, but the kid deserves all the accolades. Not having a viable backup or PF next year will only make his stats more gaudy (not necessarily a good thing).

Looking at Carino's past awards section: can't believe we ran a Coach of the Year out of town after two NCAA berths. We've been in shambles ever since.
 
I think Delgado has to play"swiss cheese" defense because he cant get into foul trouble. If he does, we have zero chance of winning any game. If he had a better backup or another counterpart downlow, I think it would be better.
 
This was where we really missed Auda this year. He mixed it up inside more than Mobley.

Next year could be interesting if Desi Rodriguez slides into the starting PF role alongside Delgado. Desi also mixes it up in the paint. I also like what I see from Rashed Anthony. This kid could mature into a nice frontcourt bench player over the next few seasons.

Need more help though. Assuming everyone stays, at the 4-5 spots we're going into next season with Delgado and Rodriguez, then Anthony, Ajou, and Nzei backing up. I don't know where Singh fits in; he sounds like a big-3 to me.

While I truly believe you can with with a group of 6'7"-6'8" PF's who play with toughness and high motors, that's still not enough quality depth. This is where a nice solid JUCO would help for balance and added depth and experience upfront.

I remember Pope being very cautious about picking up fouls also. Wonder if it's deliberate.

And Teague, as well. Granted Teague was also more stationary than Pope or Delgado, but I do think it's a pattern and deliberate. It's a repeated concept.

Willard's coaching a defensive style based on changing looks, some ball pressure, disrupting passing lanes, and deflections versus a tough, physical team in the paint like Louis Orr had us playing, IMO. Plus we never have depth of bigs. Orr could throw the likes of Whitney, Sweet, Billemeier, Cousin, Palmer, etc.
 
He needs help under the boards on Defense and rebounding... That's why I would have liked Willard to play Anthony and Ajou with Delgado at times. Especially when we played teams that had big frontcourts. Auda helped Pope and it was huge keeping Pope out of foul trouble. Auda was more disciplined about getting in foul trouble.

I think there's a rule that was given to Kevin where Delgado cannot play PF alongside a C this year and Desi cannot play SF alongside a PF.

Or heaven forbid a look of Desi-Delgado-Anthony for any minutes.

Desi's only averaged 16.5 MPG this season. I think he's trying to do too much; rushing. Love the kid's upside. He's going to be a player. He's already highly productive, just needs to be patient around the rim.
 
I agree. His minutes are limited and he is trying to make an instant impact as soon as he comes on the court instead of letting the game come to him.

He needs more experience and more PT for us to see the kind of player he really is.

Same with all the freshmen and that includes the probable Big East ROY Delgado who has a ton of rough edges to smooth out.

Remember Sterling Gibbs at Texas. barely saw the court as a frosh and when he did calling him a non factor was kind. Now Gibbs is one of the best players in the Big East.
