Kolek planning to go pro
60% from 3 in our only scrimmage
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
It will be interesting to see how Shaka puts the ball in Lewis’ hands to score. Hoping to see him try and limit the longer twos/threes from him and keep him in the wide post/low block emphasizing his power game.
I wouldn't put stock in that rumor
I think Kolek will be a big part of the offense, both passing and scoring. The kid is not bashful and I think he is sleeper in regards to our offense surprising people.
Neither Kuath nor Morsell have ever been scorers. Kur averaged 18 minutes a game last year. I am not expecting Kuath to suddenly average 10 or Morsell to average 15. OMP averaged 10 minutes at Clemson. He had a good summer with Canada. Does it translate to MU? Is he going to play next to or in place of Lewis?
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
I don't think we will have one or two dominant scorers. I think all 5 starters and the whole bench has players capable of scoring double digits on any given night (just not consistently) and a handful of players who could very occasionally outburst for 20 or more. Would not be surprised to see 8 players average between 4 and 12 points a game.
Smart man. Some here seem to think these guys are suddenly going to be offensive weapons. I think Lewis leads the team in scoring in low double digits. I think Morsell, Elliott, Kolek will all score in the 7-9.9 PPG range. Hopefully a couple of the freshman will join them in that category, but too hard to say which ones right now. I expect very little from Kuath offensivenly, but would ne nice to see him fit into the high single digits as well. Putting the ball in the basket is going to be a consistent issue for this team. I don't really see any scenario where this becomes a feared offensive group. Better hope the defense is as good as some think/hope it will be.
No social media in the country is going to put out highlights of their players continuously being shut down by the defense. It’s not healthy. To worry we don’t have a D bc we see 15 dunks in 15 seconds is like judging Wojo based on his TRY HARDER huddles.
Well wojo did suck as a game coach and his ”Try Harder” huddle instructions certainly added to this perception
I think too many here are sleeping on Kolek. I know we've been burned by transfers from mid major conferences before, but the kid really seems legitimately able to play at a higher level. In addition, he's known to be an extremely hard worker during off times, so I am fully expecting him to be stronger, faster, better than he was last season (for which he really performed well). His shot isn't a sure thing like most pure shooters, but his stats are quite good across the board and he seems to be a very well rounded player. If he isn't taking the final shot when down 2, I'm betting he'll notch the assist on that play.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
I'm not sure one can draw the conclusion that mid-major transfer equates to an expectation of disappointment. We've had solid contributors from transfers from the mid- and low-major ranks, and even the Big10 yielded a big disappointment. Solid Contributors:Reinhardt (UNLV - Mountain West)Carlino (Brigham-Young - WCC)Rowsey (UNC-Ashville -Big South)Koby (Utah State - Mountain West) Fischer (Indiana - Big 10)DisappointmentsPerez (Gardner-Webb - Big South)Chartouny (Fordham A-10)Morrow (Nebraska Big 10)Froling (SMU - American)There seems to be an underlying assumption on the board that we should discount Kolek for no other reason than he's from the A10.
I think O Max will surprise people too. Think he has a Jamil Wilson sort of game when he puts it together.
Didn't we complain about Jamil Wilson not being able to put it together his entire career? That would be a fine ceiling, i just think it's funny that if he puts it together his ceiling is a guy who didn't put it together.
To be fair Jamil showed he was NBA material post college and has been dominant in the TBT. He was ranked in the top 5 at one point in HS. I think his whole career he's been unable to "put it together"
