Didn’t he pretty much do that already in year 1 with Niang and company? He said right off the bat that he wouldn’t change anything. I found that kind of strange that he would not instill any of his coaching strategies into that group. I guess that was a precursor for what is happening now, but no talent to overcome it.
Were not really running anything. I don't think half these guys know what's going on yet. You can put it on Prohm if you like but fact is they haven't had much time together, even more so than other schools with their Covid exposure early and injuries.
Whether we have talent or not is another questions. Dubar, Foster, Blackwell, Jackson, Bolton all show flashes. Gotta get more consistency. Conditt is 3rd string now. Idk wtf is going on there?
Basketball doesn't take too long to turn around with someone that knows what their doing. I think there's talent but they desperately need coaching. I kept thinking CSP would improve in his coaching but I think that ship has sailed.
His only viable strategy for winning is to have a clear talent advantage over the opponent. And sometimes that doesn't even work.
What I want to see the rest of the year:
Foster's minutes to increase ( he should have been in much more than 13 minutes),
Foster and Dubar continuing to grow,
see what they have in Jackson once he comes back,
give Walker some more minutes at point just to see if they have something there or not.
Watching them wilt under pressure from a piss poor KSU team made me think about how ugly the games are going to get when they have to face really good defenses like Baylor, Tech, Texas, KU, WVU. Those games are not going to be pretty. Gave up way too many offensive rebounds again of course.

This defensive effort so far is very disappointing to see from a 5th year player.
Conditt was a late rising 3 star from the smaller school side of Chicago HS sports. No clue why people thought he was going to be some amazing player. Plus everyone got their wish and they bulked him up and now he’s slow and can’t get off the floor. Enjoy the fruits message board S&C Warriors.
I genuinely feel bad for Solo. I don't think it's due to lack of trying. He just can't move anymore.
That is absolutely astounding.
At this point this year is preseason for '21-'22. Foster starts and plays 25+ minutes. Every other freshman should get 20+ MPG. Anything else is a waste of time.
Conditt has not developed during his time here. That is painfully obvious. That’s on coaching.
He's only looked alright when he had a lottery pick pg playing next to him.
Ha! Yeah I’ll never get the obsession a portion of fans have with bulking up basketball players and skill position football players.
He looked pretty good for a freshman big man with his athleticism and natural skill. Big men typically develop a lot between their freshmen and junior years. Hasn’t happened.
That is remarkable. Numbers skewed by Garza/Nunge? If not, then he cannot be on the floor more than a few minutes at a time.
Sucks to say it but both seniors need to take a back seat, both are role players that aren't going to change anything about the season. Let the young guys play. Foster and Harris are the only ones who play with any energy, Solo just slows the game down and JCL is too erratic. We played our best ball last night when JCL was on the bench.
He has never been good defensively. He was getting abused last night on the defensive end. Horrible pick and roll defense by ISU and specifically by him and horrible help defense in other situations. He got abused be a crappy Freshman. Just painful to watch. That is why I think they need to get Foster out there more. He might make some mistakes as a Freshman defensively but at least he has the length and athleticism to alter some shots and make passes more difficult. Young has neither.
If Jack Nunge is skewing your numbers, that means you suck on defense.
