Oso planning to go pro
I think looking ahead can be a fun exercise but it's pure Scoop that so many of these prognostications are completely negative.What about Lewis staying, the other returnees continuing to get better, one of the freshman being in the rotation and contributing, and Shaka adding an impact transfer or two?That optimistic take is just as likely as all these negative ones. The reality will likely be somewhere in the middle, of course.
No! Bad VBMG! Bad! Logic Bad! We are doomed, doomed I say!
"Seems like ever since...you know...let's just say 2014, we've been stuck in an endless cycle of rebuilding"This is where I get a little disillusioned with this year's team and the possibility for next year. We will probably finish in the bottom half of the Big East this year, and the incoming recruits are not difference makers, at least according to their recruiting rankings. Unless we find some shooters from the transfer portal, we could struggle again next year. Then we are essentially still rebuilding in year 3 and 4 - how long is this rebuild going to take???
Honestly, if all 9 of the non super seniors return, I think this is a top 25 team next year. Get one more transfer 4/5 that can defend.
The difference is that I always thought we would be better next year. I do not think we will be better next year.
Apparently, Chase Ross was the MVP of the Cushing Holiday Invitational Tournament.
Not to worried about next season. Assuming Lewis stays, Omax and Joplin need to grow up this season to be 3/4 combination forwards. When I look at Joplin I see a Kerry trotter type 3. That makes Kam and Kolek the guards. Smart just needs to get two bigs to go with Igadoro w2ho I think is making good progress as a 4/5. No worries, enjoy this season.
Kolek is a natural 2
So you’ve been fairly consistently wrong - hope your streak continues.
Yet Kolek is our point, who happens to lead the BE in assists. It could be he's a natural 1, and it wasn't recognized. He'd be a better 1 if he had a better handle, but writing a guy off as a point when he's the assist leader seems presumptuous. I think of a 2 guard as a shooter and we've had no end of posts about Kolek's shooting problems.Definitely agree, our big need is bigs. Big bigs, wings, rebounders. Perhaps we have to trust Shaka to formulate a roster he thinks can win.
You're right. My fault. Fire Shaka! Rehire Wojo!!
