What can still go wrong
« on: April 21, 2018, 06:19:13 AM »
1.  Injuries
2.  Recovery from existing injuries is slower than anticipated.  Rust.  Skill and strength
3.  JC is not a Savior.
4.  Chemistry.  What happens when some guys don't get the minutes they think they deserve?
5.  Wojo really can't coach.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

1.  Injuries- Inexperience was the excuse last year, this will be the one next year
2.  Recovery from existing injuries is slower than anticipated.  Rust.  Skill and strength- See above
3.  JC is not a Savior. Yes, but he is 6ft 3, 205 not like Andrew's 5ft10, 175.  Defense with like 9ppg will do
4.  Chemistry.  What happens when some guys don't get the minutes they think they deserve? They leave, at least one will not be happy
5.  Wojo really can't coach. Leave that to the endless de-railing of other threads

#5 should be#1. But it is always good to be prepared by getting the excuses lined up now before the make or break season begins.

More importingly can Wojo coach?  How will the chemistry be?  Will have 10 players that can play and the other two, Bailey
and Eke can surprise?  Then you have to try and keep 12 happy?  For any coach that is hard?

I do have one question, can Eke take a medical hardship?  He still has to be raw as he really did not get the time in gym to improve?

12. Group high five goes terribly
13. Wojo changes slogan from "Win every day" to "Win every other day."
14. Wojo will be mic-ed up for every Big East game, meaning he really will say nothing but coaching platitudes every game.

The most likely thing to go wrong is too high expectations by posters on this board.

#4 is a dumb one, As has been exhaustively debated and dredged thru the mud , MU has led the free world in transfers.  Yet i have not heard or seen very much if any signs or rumors of dissention etc in the program.  Wojo said this was possibly his favorite team in 20 years.  Willie iirc in fact has mentioned Frolings character and attitude with everyhting he was going thru.  Mu recruits very hi character kids.
4 is failed thinking
Political free board, plz leave your clever quips in your clever mind.

1.  Goes for every school in the country.
2.  Well that will be helped greatly by having an actual full roster, if a guy is not quite ready by November...next man up.
3.  We didn't need a savior, just a good solid PG.

Could still see a transfer or a mid-season transfer, but at this point, I feel like there aren't many excuses. Unless we lose a couple critical players to injury or transfer, we should go 10 deep.

Yep, it's taken longer than many would like but I think we're there.

Think of this.  Just the ability to rim protect because we have enough bigs.  Only one year ago both Luke and Matty would have to back off when we got into foul trouble.  Next year, Wojo can say to Ike 'Hit that sonofab*tch each of the next two time down the floor and send a message.'  Depth is awesome.

Ike ain't seeing the floor this year. And probably spot minutes next year at best unless he turns out to be Joel Embiid.

The D still sucks.  Does the scheme stay the same with the belief that JC makes it way better? Or is there an actual scheme change?
