Agree with Jerry. It has to be Godswill and Toume at the 5&4. Jenkins needs to be on the court for 35 minutes if necessary. But it all comes down to the PG— Dual but he needs development. The quandary is how many games can we lose while he gets his feet under him playing the 1.
Jerry is on point with how to approach the future.
*We’re not going dancing this year so show improvement heading into February/ March.
*Keep a core together for next year— Dual, Godswill, Coleman, Middleton (plus Gus and Felton).
*Supplement with some key transfers.
The most important step is keeping a core together for two years. Do we have the NIL to do that?

While I agree, no matter who is on the floor right now there’s too much traffic. Until that clears with a coherent offensive flow or a PG who knows what he’s doing, it won’t matter offensively, and we’ll continue to have turnover problems when passing the ball and a shocking lack of scoring with woeful shooting percentages. Very rarely does anyone get the ball in good scoring position over 3 games.
Dual has gone from 29 to 24 to 9 minutes, from start to bench. Harmon has given us a grand total of 14 minutes over 3 games. Things are going well.
Remember how tough it was for Richmond and Samuel in Sha’s first year, especially the non-conference portion? I think we’re underestimating the “Sha Adjustment Period” for players maybe. And with the success Sha has had, he won’t change until the bottom falls out. So we shall see what happens here.

Tough hearing Jerry say that he's getting a "vibe" that Zion Harmon is the new Taurean Thompson (ie- an undeniably-talented player who just doesn't seem to be clicking with the coaching staff)
Agree with most everything you posted, with the exception of this sentence: "And with the success Sha has had, he won’t change until the bottom falls out."
I don't pretend to be able to see into the brain of Sha, and he has forgotten more about coaching than I'll ever know. If he is committed to "his way", I think that simply because how he's wired and because what he thinks works best from his ample time as a player and coach. I don't think though it has anything to do with "the success Sha has had", because Sha hasn't had enormous success yet in the Big East. His career at St. Peter's was trending as "fine" before the amazing Elite 8 run; without that run, it looks like many other mid-major resumes, and plenty of mid-major coaches have done just as good if not better over the course of their entire careers at one spot (like Tim Cluess, as an example, who absolutely dominated that same conference for years). And while Sha did a good job overall last year in having our team finish in top half of the league and just narrowly missing the dance, he is still 0-2 in getting to the NCAAs for a program that basically lived there for half-a decade+ before he took the reigns.
I'm sure Sha has strong views on how he wants to coach and play, and like any other good coach he adjusts as needed to fit the circumstances. If he's stubborn -- well, many good coaches are -- and I don't know if he's more or less stubborn than most. But I don't think any perceived lack of change is because he thinks he's been so successful at this thus far at Seton Hall. Because he hasn't.
