But, Sha and Morton dramatically improved their 3 pt shot. And that can still happen today regardless of the NIL cost. It isnt a given, but skills can improve.
I am not sure I agree your suggestion that if a guard can shoot threes they better be able to post up. I think small fast guard who can penetrate and finish and is a great passer can still be successful.
There are guidelines that make sense to follow, but no rules on how to make a good team. And good chemistry on the court can still overcome lots of issues in basketball.
Of course it can be done. And we should be spending a good chunk of that legendary $5M on two shooters.
Weve had small pg for a long time b4 willsrd came and recruited bigger pg. Our small wuick pgs did very well here. Shaheen, dre, harvey, theodore, cope etc
Agreed, but someone like him would've even made this year's motley crew quite a bit better and effective overall.
Not a guard, but Ish Sanogo may be another. Went from 0% as a Freshman and sophomore to 33% as a junior to 46% as a senior.
Absolutely. Plenty of ways to win games. You have teams that couldn't make 3s this year have awesome seasons. Teams that didn't have a true low post threat you could throw it to. Teams that simply tried to "outscore" you most of the time and kill you with pace. On and on.
Lets see no low post presence you say? Zappla 7'0", Cooper 6'11" and Kohler 6'9". Between the 3 of them they average 17 rebounds and 16 plus points game. Gosh that sure sounds like a low post presence to me!
You got support for your post but you and your supporters forget when he plays in the BE he will be facing bigger front court players so you all thinking he is going to drive to the basket and finish is foolish. Even kids who go 6' 4" have trouble finishing let alone someone barely 5'10". Good luck with that idea. Drive and dish to someone else to finish or kick it out for a 3 is the idea. But we don't have anyone yet to shoot the 3 or finish down low.
Kid’s a bucket getter and can create his own shot. He can penetrate and beat his man off the dribble. That alone is more than what we had last year.
how long did it take them? can players improve their skills when they jump teams every year
Danny’s in a little bit of a different position than Sha is, don’t ya think?
Highly sought after kid for good reason.
If you think we can't compete with UConn then we should leave the BE. Our goal should be to compete with UConn and be a top BE team. If we can't do that then we should leave and not be a doormat.
Not what I said. Demary is the 7th highest ranked player in the portal. Seton Hall never could and still can’t compete for that level of player. Take a deep breath over there.
Given the results of our head to head matchups in Newark every year, I don't think anyone believes that, painful as it is to admit.
Why not? We’ve been told we have $5 million and we’ve also been told the only thing that matters to players is the paycheck, nothing else…
Because schools will spend double or triple or dare I say more? Like many have said here, the bar has been raised. Our NIL stinks so while we may be on a more even playing field with revenue sharing, our NIL stinks. Therein lies the difference. Simple economics.
Like Morton did (and my 5 kids did), you practice every day (for hours) on the areas your weakest, whether it be FT ‘s, 3’s, dribbling and you hit the weight room. Amazing the change you will see if you put in the time!
We split every year. I'm not gonna lie. It's annoying as all heck, especially especially this year when you weren't a very good team against anyone else. But the record is the record, annoying as it can be annually.
I guess I’m old when I have to ask whether Budd Clark should be offended by either of the terms the coach used to describe him!
alright gangster! now all we need is that tattoo guy and we're back to the hall ball i know and love
It’s the new term for a “student athlete”….
Sometimes teams play down to the competition and the SHU team is up for an upset. It happens all the time all over hoops. No question UConn should not have lost any of the games to SHU given the desperate talent levels. Upsets happen.
Should be called a semi pro and businessman. Students attend class and pay tuition and don't get NIL money for doing that.
i got paid while i was in college for things i did outside of class. and the people i worked for made a helluva lot less off my efforts than the money that is generated by college basketball.
