summer hoops

I don't remember the last time we had a perimeter game that had this much talent. These guys will be so fun to watch.

I agree. And I think we will get to see some really fun hot-shooting-streaks as well, from different players.

That would be nice. Perimeter shooting has been one weakness as a program that has been consistent across different coaches (McClain, Schroyer, Shyatt). Over the last 14 years (since KenPom has kept stats), the Pokes have never been among the Top 100 teams in 3P%. 10/14 years we have been in the bottom 1/3 nationally with two years in the bottom 5 among 350 or so teams (Schroyer's last two years).

Our best year was 08-09 when we had Ogirri, but we were still 110th. Next best year is about 150th.

I don't know if that is just random, or a combination of coaching/recruiting preferences (McClain really liked guards that could get to the rim and FT line and so did Schroyer), or something related to altitude/arena design/ancient voodoo curses/etc.

Hopefully this year's breaks the mold.

Could be coaching or having players who aren't great shooters. Ogirri and Grabau were good, but not great from the arc. Bradley Mann was decent too, but few and far between are our outside scoring threats.

I do think the potential is there. Gorski and Lieberman were supposedly the best shooters on the team last year. Maybe they will be more comfortable this year. McM and Marshall also have potential, even Josh, Dalton, and Trey.

There is no reason the Pokes can't shoot a better %.
 
And to think if Herndon can hit a decent percentage from a distance...It'll take one hell of a defense to shut us down. :twisted: Just as long as we quit having the team-wide scoring funks.

Success in practice is one thing, but gotta do it with the D-1 lights on, though. These guys are putting in major OT right now which will benefit them as the season progresses. Outside of Josh, nearly everyone else needs substantial real court time to get to where they need to be. The ones playing the best defense will get more court minutes, as we know with Papa Shy.

Personally, I'm just looking/hoping for noticeable week-to-week improvement in team offense and team defense during OOC and will be verrry patient during the early stages of conference play. If these guys are playing well as a team at season's end, I'll be very pumped for next year.
 
The OT time now won't hurt, including josh. We need the time now to make the team. Lots of times better talent loses to better teams. Especially true when the talent is raw.

Not that I know hoops, far from it, but shitodear looks like these guys can play.

I really think this is the year TO break the mold, and reverse the trend. There are too many solid shooters, and not enough inside, for me to think otherwise. Of course, there are 5 dudes on campus that have yet to suit up as well, so I guess, we will see. Damn won't it be fun to watch though? :thumb:

It will be very fun. Especially early on in OOC play.
One night we will see a few players go off and think that is the future of the team, the next week those guys might be on the bench for most of the game.

This team could have several different looks this season. Can't wait already.
 
How do you guys post the actual twitter comments?

That's a great honor for Josh. We may only have one senior, but one of the best ever to put on the Brown and Gold. Very excited for this season.
