Kolek Proving to be an A-10 Quality Guard

[TrojanWarrior]

Kolek is proving to be an A-10 quality guard, he needs to sit more and we develop other guards. Cannot build a team around Kolek. I cannot believe that Smart's play call off the timeout late in the game was for Kolek to take a a wild three.

Tough to win at Xavier. We held our own...

I take it you didn't watch this game at all.

We struggled quite a bit when he was off the court.

Yep. If he avoids foul trouble they could have stolen one. Offense bogs down without him.

I watched the game, so will the Big East teams. Let's see how Kolek is when the Big East teams watch the videos. Love his attitude, but his ability is midland.

So you think Xavier just ignored tape on MU going into today?

I prefer east coast ability

Overall, Kolek probably is just a mid-major talent and should never be allowed to shoot the ball.

But, unfortunately, he's the best (by far) at PG and MU needs him in the game (not shooting) to win.

I've read some dumb things here.  This ranks among the dumbest.

[BCHoopster]

Mitchell and Morsell, try playing point but do not have the instinct as a point guard.  Kolek will be the man this year, can not wait for Sean Jones as his backup or maybe beat him out.

[TrojanWarrior]

X plainly did.

This is quite a poor thread topic.  I can't disagree more.

[TrojanWarrior]

Agree, NoLonger... the fact he is the best we can put out there now does not change the fact he is mid-major player.

[The Sultan]

Agree, NoLonger... the fact he is the best we can put out there now does not change the fact he is mid-major player.

If you agree with NoLonger you should probably reassess your basketball knowledge.

Kinda just sealed your fate here

Trojan is nolonger.

[TrojanWarrior]

Fluff and PG,

Ad hominem arguments... my request? let's see what March looks like... again, love the kid's attitude, but his talent is midland.

[Johnny B]

Trojan is nolonger.

lol

[hawk]

Kolek is going to be a stud.  I was glad to see him make some shots. As he gets more comfortable he will  score more.   The team struggles mightily without him.  Tough to win on the road anywhere Xavier is a tough place.

[NolongerWarriors]

Trojan is nolonger.

Nope.

It's always hilarious here when someone agrees with an unpopular poster and is immediately accused (with no evidence) of being that particular guy, lol.  Happens over and over again.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Looks like NoLonger created another account.

He's the best PG at MU since Dominic James.  His first year running PG in college as he primarily played off the ball at George Mason.

just too bad Racine product Tyresse Hunter signed w/Iowa State. He's doing well there, and would look great here at the pg. Kolek makes some plays, and plays hard, but not a 30-min/per guy. Thought Mitchell might be better coming in.

[Elonsmusk]

8 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds against Number 22 team in the country on the road in 22 minutes.  He played well, while he was in the game.  Got hit with a couple of tick tack fouls, one of which 100% was a charge on the X player.

Hunter was given the chance to sign with MU, they told him that Mitchell was ready to commit, they gave him an opportunity first.  He decided to slow play them, even gave him a chance after Mitchell committed.  He would have started at either school, so I am sure in his mind he made the right decision.
