What do you think of our New Guys
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
Beverly isn't athletic at all compared to D1 athletes but maybe he can bring some good work ethic, attitude and sense of calm to the young guys.
I can see why Juiston didnt come here. He probably figured that if was going to play on a terrible team then the "signing bonus" he received would come in handy for hookers and blow.
I do not see anything in Talley that remotely makes me think of Hogue type impact.
....and too much dribbling, need ball movement. When you don't have guys that can create their own shot guys gotta stop focusing on getting their shot and move that ball and open things up for other guys
He's going to miss out on the 2018-2019 National Championship.
Probably should ask "what do you think of the old guys" as well. The new guys will struggle for a bit, but the veterans need to take the lead.
- DJ has been disappointing and has not been able to create shots. 4 for 20 shooting, 0 assists, no FT even attempted in 45 minutes of BB so far (not counting Emporia State).
- NWB has played one good half of basketball at the level we need. Does not seem to want to take the lead.
- SY has not taken a step forward in level of play compared to last year. Might even have taken a step back.
- JL is just a role player.

Like I said, to be optimistic you have to picture them surrounded by the players that the compared player was supported by.
Not remotely close? That’s false. Talley would look a lot better next to Kane, Morris, Ejim, and Georges. He’s not a go-to guy, but he would finish a lot of plays created by others, get fast break points, put backs, etc.
This I agree with. Right now, I'm not sure how you could possibly tell the exact abilities or possibilities of each player, as the group as a whole is not yet functional.
I think Steve Prohm has his work cut out for him. I suspected they might struggle in the noncon, but not to the extent of an 18 point loss to UW-Milwaukee at home. I guess **** me for being too optimistic but it's clear now that this has the potential to be a very trying season, at least in the first half. What I see is a lot of guys being asked to do more than they're comfortable doing, and it's chipping away at their confidence. No choice but to grow up and grow into these new roles quickly, or be prepared for losing and a lot of it. Getting Brase and Lard on the floor will help some but improvement is needed all the way around.
We are undoubtedly on the wrong end of a synergy effect right now. D1 guys that have played basketball for 12 years couldn’t catch a basic pass last night- a clear symptom of that.
The good news is that another offseason of development and adding just one great player could change everyone’s performance significantly, resulting in a positive impact far greater than the individual added talent. That’s also the most incriminating thing to Prohm. Not a lot was needed to make this rebuild a lot better than getting smoked at home to UWM, and he failed big time.
Some people need to touch a hot stove to see if it’s on, others don’t require such signals.Ah, we diverge again. Two games in. Two games. TWO GAMES.
As I've said before, I'd rather believe in my team and be proven wrong than not believe in them and be proven right. I can handle the emotions of being let down just fine.
