High on Okorafor and Toumi

[walshtrips]

We haven't seen much, but I've seen enough to feel good about our frontcourt come January. The combination of Okorafor (5) and Toumi (4) will be huge as the season progresses. Toumi should only play at the 4, we can spell Okorafor with Godswill and Gus when necessary.

GO PIRATES!!!

Agree Okorafor moves well has length and more importantly has a clue on positioning..

Gus has not looked like a high D-1 player.

Disagree he has proven to be d-1 and high

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.

Gus not looking good so far and should get limited minutes.

Seems like a likeable guy and hope he is able to contribute, but I think he will be eaten alive in the BE.

I disagree. I spoke to a former SHU player after the game and he said Gus played well for a freshman.

Because in this era if you dare say something negative you’re considered an awful person..

You lose credit for the negativity if it describes 100 percent of your comments. Same would hold true for an opposite poster.

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.

For a kid who missed an entire year and has had his share of injuries Gus is doing ok IMO.

He is crafty and has a plan as to what he wants to do with the ball when he receives the pass.

Was there early opening night and during lay up lines he would actually switch to a backdoor position and work on multiple pivots and releases. He is quite agile for his size and body type. As is Okafor.

Gus is super enthusiastic which is endearing
