Oso planning to go pro
Anim has been mostly playing power forward. There is not much future for a 6'4' 6'5' power forward. Anim can play 2g and small forward, but that is held by Haanif and Cohen. I like Anim, but to say he is our future might be an overstatement.
Based on what we've seen so far, I'd have to agree. Wally reminds me of a sophomore Juan Anderson. Lots of energy but toward what end? I'd like to see Sacar a little more because he is more our future ... unless playing Wally a few more mins a game keeps Henry around for another year. In which case I'm all for Sacar riding the pine!
I think Wally has been OK. I haven't seen enough of Sacar to make a determination if he is better or worse at this point. There always seems to be a freshman that doesn't quite meet expectations - either because they aren't as good as expected and/or they don't quite know how to practice and do the other work that is expected of them. Sacar might be that player right now.
Could be wrong but I don't think so. I think they end up around 250. Them and Texas Southern are easily the best squads in the swac
I agree. Wally's been fine. Good position rebounder so far. He'll contribute this year and may be ahead of Sacar on the depth chart.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
From a developmental standpoint, Matt heldt needs the most on court experience that we can offer. Foul trouble will certainly find its way to Luke and MH will be the one who is called upon during the conference season late in the first half or for spurts in the second half. His ability to hold down the fort will certainly have a bigger impact on the outcome of games than Sacar.
Matt doesn't need to score. He needs to play D, rebound, and facilitate a little for his teammates.
Agree that calling Sacar our "future" is an overstatement...but I think he'll play a much bigger role down the road than Wally. (Unless, as one poster mentioned, Wally plays a role in keeping Henry around!)
So am I the first one to notice that Sacar's name is spelled wrong in the thread title? Like he is Idi's nephew or something?
But again, we are falling into this trap. Marquette is playing to win games now. Not to develop players for some future date down the road. It's not as though Wally is playing huge minutes anyway. Wojo probably trusts him ahead of Sacar right now and that's OK.
