His comments when he committed to st john’s were a big slap in the face to sha and the staffI don't think I will ever get used to seeing KR in a SHU uniform when the article talks about how great SJU is going to be.To me,it's a slap in the face to SHU.
Time will tell, but I'm not convinced Sha's model to play 10 deep will work at this level. I think it's going to be difficult to attract/retain players if they are splitting their time with someone else. That model works at St. Peter's where you're recruiting players who have no other option, but I'm not sure that model works when you're recruiting players who have other options.Holloway does not prefer a ball dominant PG. Instead he wants at least 3 prime ball handlers on the court at all times, except in a special circumstance. Thus you will often see multiple points/combos on the court at the same time. Sha has a lot of options this year but not the same starting talent.
This is going to be a very interesting season.
I think another reason it's easier to do at a St. Peter's is there is more of a chance your tenth player will be able to compete for more than a few minutes a game. The gap between your top players (or more importantly your opponent's top players) and your tenth guy is much smaller than at the Big East level.Time will tell, but I'm not convinced Sha's model to play 10 deep will work at this level.

How do you recruit a quality PG to share the job here when other schools are offering the fulltime job?
I agree. I think and also heard we may have the most solid and deepest Big East roster in years . Who will step up to be a leader or leaders and be a 1st team Big East type of player is the question . I do not see an ALPHA type player on the team now . Talk is cheap in July but fun to talk about . I am quietly optimistic and hoping for good things . GO PIRATES !!!!!!!A couple of players will have breakout seasons. All teams experience that. The key is how many on the roster can play at the next level. None of us know that without seeing the team perform.
But, and I say this with respect...what players (yes I know) sight unseen at this point would you say cannot perform at a Big East level?
Last year just seeing one practice I knew half the team didn't belong. Now, I doubt I would say that.
the difference now is, it is hard to retain players no matter what style of play you have....so I am not sure this makes retainage any more of a challenge than anyone else has. Prior to every-year free agency, yes; now...don't think it matters,Time will tell, but I'm not convinced Sha's model to play 10 deep will work at this level.

Well said. Exactly what I think.1) There is some talent on this team
2) There are a lot of questions about this team
3) Sha can prove is coaching acumen with this team
4) The upside is greater than the downside
