Henry averaged 9.9.

Well yea, but many of those were easy rebounds.

If you're expecting an NAIA player to come to the Big East and put up anywhere near 10 and 6 you should really recalibrate expectations.
I understand the concerns, but I suspect he is better than a lot of high schoolers coming into the Big East this year. Wrightsil last year probably was playing against better competition than Chase was last season.

Fair but…If you’re expecting even highly ranked freshman to come in and avg 10 and 6 you should recalibrate expectations.

The only expectation I have of Wrightsil is that he’ll contribute something positive this coming season, or else Shaka wouldn’t have brought him in.

Guessing what specific stats will be from someone none of us has seen, especially someone who played at the NAIA level, is folly.

I only hope Scoop doesn’t pull an O-Max/Reinhardt/Lockett and proclaim Wrightsil to be “worthless” or “trash” if he struggles early. But I know that’s probably asking too damn much.

Yeah, given the roster makeup, I think the unfortunate outcome seems possible. There's no saying what Wrightsil will contribute, but I have no doubt he can be a great energy guy off the bench. If forced into heavy minutes, I worry (especially if he has to play the 5). Really excited Wrightsil is in Milwaukee, but I hope his role and fan expectations are sensible.

Still a few months left to turn up another contributor or two, but, boy, Shaka is betting big on continuity and culture.

Scoop fan:  Stupid Badgers.  I cannot believe they keep winning by recruiting and developing players to their system.


Also Scoop fan:  I am disappointed that Shaka is retaining players and trying to develop them.

This is the second time I've seen this silly trope.   UW (Ryan and Gard) have proven that they have a system that works in terms of developing players and getting some wins in the NCAA. 

Shaka doesn't yet have that stereotype.  Outside of Havok at VCU (so...like 10 years ago), he hasn't developed players or a system to win consistently.  Now, I hope his new philosophy works, but at this point comparing him to a "young" Ryan or Gard is as silly as comparing Wojo to a young Jay Wright.

He is the coach.  He has chosen development and culture over roster turnover this year.  Either you trust it or you don't.

That's fair, rocky.

I think I'm probably more optimistic than you are that Shaka will do well at Marquette, but it's totally reasonable to believe he has a lot to prove as a coach.

I think continuity and culture is likely more important in college basketball than ever before. I'm glad Shaka is emphasizing both, and I think this likely demonstrates growth as a coach.

I also don't think this roster has a wealth of obvious talent on it. Optimistic about a lot of the young guys, but a lot riding on considerable improvement.

I know it's hard to comprehend that roster continuity and roster talent are not mutually exclusive, but anybody on this board saying the roster couldn't use a bump in talent right now is kidding themselves. There is lots be gained by having mature players with advanced familiarity of both system and teammates, but talent is still a/the primary driver in winning.

Exactly Tower.  I have repeatedly asked for a mauler for at least a decade.

Not exactly.  We need  power players that can inflict damage in a myriad of ways.  We get pushed around far too frequently Tower.

Come again?  I believe he was not someone people messed with.  Maybe it's time for a Confederacy of Badasses?
