Sean coming soon?

[avid1010]

WWerent there scoopers saying we didnt have one this year after TKO? Hmm

There were.  I wasn't one of them.  It was obvious during TKO's injury MU was going to be fine with Kam. 

I'm not saying we won't score.  I just think it's going to look vastly different than what we've seen with TKO and Kam, and I think it will bite us at times, similar to not having a legit big in the Dayton game.  I still have a ton of faith Shaka will figure out how to put a quality product on the court.

It will be interesting to see if he looks at the portal at all.  I would think a reliable senior pg would be tempting.

I wont say never, but pretty close.

MU isn't a quality product already?

As to the portal, MU currently as 14 out of of 15 scholarships accounted for.   If there are unexpected departures, sure there could be a trip to the portal.   But, based on history and Shaka's interviews, the player would have to be better than who is already at MU and be willing to transfer to MU without a bag drop.

Finally, Sean, Tre, Nigel, DO (?), and let me toss Chase in the mix.  I see glimpses that Chase could play a Kam/Tony Smith style PG.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Sean and Nigel are both PGs, Chase and Damarius can both initiate the offense.

[wadesworld]

Yeah. Not worried about the PG spot next year.

[GoldenEagles03]

I think it will be hard for him to come back mid-year in conference.  He adds speed, which I don't think we necessarily lack, and what else?

I have a ton of faith in Shaka, but I don't think we have a point guard next year.

Lol.

We have plenty.

Like 5 or 6 capable of bringing the ball up the court.

[Uncle Rico]

Any word on Sean's availability this week?

[avid1010]

MU isn't a quality product already?

I think he will need to do things very differently within the offense to have a team that competes at the level the teams of the last three years have without a TKO or Kam at pg.

[94Warrior]

Any word on Sean's availability this week?

The entire roster is unavailable this week.

Oh, so next year issues.

[avid1010]

Agreed, but it looks different when you PG isn't initiating the offense the way MU plays. 

How has the offense looked this year without Kam?  That is with Jop and Stevie still available.  When TKO went down...we looked good with Kam.  I wish I was seeing the same this year. 

I'm relishing this year and believe in Shaka...just think it will be difficult to keep this high level of success without someone with the passing and scoring ability of Kam or TKO.

I'm terrified about next year. 

[barfolomew]

Oh, so next year issues.

It's only 9 days away, buddy.
If you're not afraid, you're not paying attention.

Great call.

Next season issues.

I think you'll see other guys step up and show skills they haven't needed to yet. We're on our way to being a top ten team for the third year in a row. Mid way through last year and the year before Kam was inconsistent and only was scoring in bunches against lower level BE teams. Some here were calling for his minutes to be reduced.

I'll believe Shaka will figure it out until he doesn't.

[The Sultan]

How has the offense looked this year without Kam?

Last year at this time did you think you'd be saying that? My guess is not.

[tower912]

I trust the coaching staff and development. 

[Uncle Rico]

I trust the coaching staff and development. 

Why

[Newsdreams]

I trust the coaching staff and development. 

Foolish, they haven't shown us anything

[avid1010]

I trust the coaching staff and development. 

Do you think they have any concerns with the PG spot next year?

[The Sultan]

Do you think they have any concerns with the PG spot next year?

I think they have a plan.

[avid1010]

I think they have a plan.

Oh, ok...nevermind...I didn't realize this.  This is really good to know.  I've been told God has a plan as well. 

[tower912]

Do you think they have any concerns with the PG spot next year?

I think that Sean will be ready and raring to go.  I think Tre, with a healthy offseason, will be a revelation.  I think that Nigel will not be handed the keys, but will challenge Sean and Tre every day.  I think the offense will be adapted so that a line up of Gold, Ross, Owens, Parham, and PG will be an absolute beast by the middle of the season, if a little clunky at the beginning.

So, no, I don't think they are worried about the PG spot.  Just like this season compared to last, it will be different.  But it will still be a 5 out motion that can make 3s throughout.

I certainly do not think they are worried about it enough to do a bag drop on a portal PG.

[Lennys Tap]

Do you think they have any concerns with the PG spot next year?

I think they have concerns. Sean is coming off an injury and is a poor shooter. Tre hasn't shown he's anywhere near ready. Nigel will be a freshman. But I also think they believe in their ability re player development.

[MuMark]

Worrying about next year when MU is 11-2 and ranked 8th in the country is peak scoop.......

I'll just enjoy this season and be thankful that Shaka is in charge.........every season is a new challenge and always will be.
