Ernst
- Thread starter Cyclad
- Start date
Nobody on here knows if he is better than Carter or not. However, there is no way he could produce less than Carter does for us. Also, the lack of post touches for Young is embarrassing. Especially with an "All American" point guard. I counted exactly one time they passed the ball to Young inside the three point line last night. It was essentially playing 4 on 5.
Heck, I don't even care if he shoots more than twice a game, but throwing it in to the post does usually move the defense, and kick it back out. If all perimeter drive and kicks were working that would be different, but obviously they're not. Monte's effectiveness is puzzling. Maybe I'm expecting too much tho.
I've raised this point in other threads, but Prohm originally had Malou for post offense and, likely, a more skilled freshman big in Lard coming in.
The NCAA eff'd each of those plans. Those two might have been our two best posts this year, without too much difficulty, from what we've seen so far.
We are on Plan C about now.

Holden, Carter, Ernst, Tsalmonpuss, are/were all not awesome; Malou and Lard are not here.
We're left with a freshman and two small forwards, which sucks.

Well because there is always 1 player everyone loves to hate. Naz, SDW, Percy, and Brady. This year it's hard to tell who it is.
I don't get the the Ernst lovers. All we know of him is the very little we saw in the few scrub minutes at the end of some blow outs and that no power conference teams wanted him. I don't dislike him and wish him the best but thinking that he would be a useful contributor to the team this year is hopeful at best.
What most like a bout his is he is 6'10 has a little mass behind him, and can flat out jump out of the gym for a tall white dude.
That's cool, but all the coaches that recruited him new about those attributes and our coaches last year saw those attributes and it apparently wasn't good enough.
I'm not an expert recruiter and don't act like I am but didn't he have a knee injury or something that made alot of programs pretty much just loose all the attention they had for him in HS?
Coaches miss on guys, particularly bigs that came on late due to a myriad of factors . Have you watched our post game the past few years? It's reasonable to say we don't appropriately value the contributions an athletic, but still developing, big guy brings. Carter still being here and riding the pine is not sufficient in saying Ernst. Frankly, Ernst was smart to leave. There are plenty of successful programs that know how to develop and utilize a guy like him.
