I'm fine with the jawing after the the milquetoast we had the last few years.
Kalscheur looks to be a good player
- Thread starter ClonesFTW
- Start date
Or Rasir whose starting for Gonzaga putting up 15 points a game
He's talented but his attitude was toxic to team unity. Might have been him just doing what he had to transfer out of a bad situation but the players and Pollard weren't going to let him back. He was a ball hog and this team is one good shooter from being pretty legit IMO. JCL would been huge.
Hard to say what a new coach could have done for him but a change of scenery was probably best.
Like so many of the transfers we've had in the past, a change of scenery was likely the best thing for all parties involved. I'd imagine his attitude won't fly with Few like it did with Prohm.
I'm not saying I want him back am I?
All I'm saying is a player of his talent caliber would help this team and you cant deny that.
Two games in...very early on...but who is going to be the guy that can drive to the hoop and draw fouls? That's a very effective way to compensate for bad shooting, like the first half against Oregon State.
Brockington is on pace to set some kind of And-1 record, so I think it's safe to say he's a good candidate.
Also, OSU had the size to make that 1-3-1 really problematic. When you don't just have someone on the front of that zone disrupting the ball reversal but someone with that kind of length it makes the pass take a lot longer to get there so the defense has a lot of time to adjust. Generally the baseline corners is the place to attack that zone but with slowed ball reversal it is tough to exploit. Beyond Baylor I don't see a lot of teams ISU will face that will be as adept at that zone with that kind of length to run it.
To Bolton's credit, he's now starting on a championship-level team. Good for him, the ceiling doesn't get higher than that.
I assume most of the JCL/Bolton comments are (mainly) regarding untapped potential (i.e., squandered last season) and how it could benefit depth/rotation for this season's team.
Nothing against the guys who transferred away, but my view is, it might be a better long-term benefit having to rebuild almost entirely from scratch.
Fit is important for teams. Those guys were Prohm Hail Marys. I wouldn’t want them near this year’s team.
Agree, for the most part. Perhaps merge-able into current lineup, but at this point, the fewer the ties to past couple of seasons, the better (and probably beneficial for most departures).
I have no idea how well TJO will do long-term, but one thing we know is it won't be a "wait until he's coaching 'all his guys.'" That's already here.
If Walker doesn't get any run Tuesday against Alabama State, he probably won't get any at all this year. Alabama State is 0-3 and not good.
Few said he’s a joy to coach but CF will bash him until the end of time
Good for him. The situation last year made him a toxic player in the locker room.
