Assessing Power's game on the limited minutes he was given is conjecture...lets see what he does with consistent mins and no hook in his head if he misses his first shot.

I don't think Power got a quick hook because he missed his first or second shot. He couldn't dribble or defend and that coupled with missing a few shots, got him the hook.

Power just wasn't ready in his first season, not a big deal and he's not the first freshman to need more years in college.

Sometimes the coaches aren't right. My opinion is that when Roach decided to stay, Jon felt obligated to play the three guard lineup, and due to that, a couple guys didn't see minutes. Power was one of them, but maybe he wasn't ready.

I like Jon, but felt since he stuck with the 3 guard lineup, the pace of play should have been faster. Overall I don't think he had a good enough handle on that team.

Stuck? Maybe. I think it was his lack of confidence in the roster. Player development didn't seem as if it was a priority as well.

^You mean if consistent minutes are handed to him? It's really not giving a coach any credit to claim that players are afraid of getting yanked if they miss their first shot. No, that's getting no more passes if you miss your first shot in a new pick-up game.

X2 bleed. I have hated 'em since the fat man managed them in the 80s. We had Horner,
Murphy, Knucksie, etc and had quite the rivalry in the old NL West.

The West Coast trip was quite depressing, and hopefully we bounce back this week in the friendly confines. It's still VERY EARLY, but don't want to fall too far behind Phillies.

Actually the pitching has been better lately. I think Olsen's hitting slump is really dragging the team down. Boston in town tonite, need to right the ship!!

Matt is struggling in field too. Riley has been awful but he also can’t catch a break. Anytime he squares one up, it gets caught. He always plays good d though. Have a feeling that Grissom is going to have a good series against us.

This is me as well. Power has only one thing he does well and that is shoot, and he didn't really do it that well. He's a little slow to play tough defense and his ball handling skills are also lacking. He's a catch and shoot player.

Although, I assume he will improve those aspects of his game, it could and more than likely will take him a few years to get there.

I don't know that I give them that much credit. I suspect we could read that into any bracket, if we want.

Is that a bad thing? Keels shot 31% on 3s and was much worse on FTs.

Keels brought it in the big games though. Had 19 in the Final Four, 25 against UK in the champions classic, and hit a massive three against MSU or else we don’t get out of the 2nd round. Keels also was a much better defender than Steward, mainly due to size/strength.

Steward definitely would have been more consistent IMO and we probably don’t drop as many ACC league games. Because Keels was bad for part of ACC play.

to make matters worse, Unc was kicking Duke’s rear both on and off the court from 2005-2009. Unc had won 2 national championships, 3 final fours, and 4 elite 8s, meanwhile Duke couldn’t even make it to a regional final.

True BCG, but it CANNOT be forgotten Roy had the AFAM "paper classes' scheme fully in place at that point! Remember 80% of the CHEATERS '05 natty team were AFAM majors!! OFC

Unfortunately, I don’t think it is. I am not sure he’s pitching again until this time next year. Shame too because he was going to win cy. I also don’t see them trading for anyone better than what we have in farm. Lookout for aj smith shawver or potentially Owen Murphy to be in the rotation before the end of the year. Not going to matter though unless the bats wake up. Can’t ask these starters to do anything more.

Actually, Stephon Castle, who played on this years team and is a OAD, was ranked higher than both McNeeley and Nowell. He was ranked 10th in the 2023 class. Clingan was in the 30s in the 2022 class, which is slightly lower that where Nowell is ranked.

You can say that again.

They got Reed from Michigan to play center, Mahaney from St Mary’s to play guard, and high recruits in McNeeley and Nowell, both of whom are the highest rated recruits they’ve had since forever. I think their talent is as good, if not better, as it has been under Hurley.

wish Steward would have stayed. He was a very good 3 point shooter. Steward like the rest of his classmates primarily Roach & Williams along with Coleman and Brakefield were starting to hit their stride towards the end of the season.

Probably good move for Power Bennett one of the best defensive coaches. Will get more playing time at UVA

I wouldn’t get Bennetts quote exactly right but after losing out NCAAT he said he had to rethink philosophy…
