Holman is ok and Ado has potential, but dear gosh Herard might be the worst player we’ve ever put on scholarship.

I realize Ado is a freshman on the court but he's so weak, can't or won't rebound, has hands of stone and no offense. Only thing he's done so far is block some shots. Doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body. Now that could change but presently not the player we led to believe was going to be the answer in the post. As far as Peter's goes get your head out of you're ***, stop getting suspended and start to play or transfer out.

no doubt, Datcher is our best big Man. I like Him and Holman in the game together.

[h=2]Holman is terrible on the block.

Perhaps, but I wouldnt say his game or his body is made to play on the block.
He is a stretch 4 who contributes on offense with jump shots, hi/lo 4/5 play, and off the ball rim runs.

I don't

say perhaps, bc it is.

We dont have an inside game, which is part of the reason our offense looks the way it does.

Good thing we're supposedly done with recruiting and not chasing any centers in this cycle******

We have to go find a banger. I'm fine with a JUCO. Just find someone that does those things well for a change.

That's the ultimate problem. The one flaw with Howland's recruiting has been that he's brought in only either stretch 4's or projects that are several years away from being consistent contributors at the 4 and 5 spots. A big reason our half court offense stagnates so much is that we don't have anyone we can throw the ball to down low that the opponent feels threatened by.

Fair enough. I just took issue with what seemed like Rambis bitching about Holman not being good in a certain setting that Holman isnt built to be good in or have the skillset for.
You know who else is terrible on the block? Eli Wright. You know why?...because that doesnt fit his skill set.

I just found it odd to ***** that a player who isnt supposed to be good at traditional back to the basket low post play isnt good at it.

Usually when someone is 6’10” they have some skills on the block. The problem is none of our bigs have any skills on the block.

Well no ****, but Eli isn't 6'10" with a 7'+ wingspan.

We don't need him to be playing 18' out.

We did't recruit him to be a guard.

We've got 4-5 guards.
