    Like Blounge, i've been having fun betting the under and the other team based on how awful we are on offense right now.  This team just can't score and Vegas has not yet adjusted....Would love to see them turn this around though, and hopefully Tarke and Watson can come back late and salvage the season...In the meantime I'm going to keep hammering them

    He feels like he is on the outer reaches of possibilities for us. I would assume if him and Temple really like the fit we are out, but at this stage he feels like someone that has an outside chance to falling into our laps. We can figure out some of the shortcomings and lack of shooting later, but I think he would be a quality get for Towson. 

    same - and as far as i can tell, we've hit the bullseye on GU transfers (Josh Thornton who was a great shooter on an otherwise dismal team) and Benimmon.....

    Paar played 36 minutes last season, avg 2.4ppg. Biekeu avg’d 1.7 ppg; Coleman avg’d 0.6 ppg. If all three are back next season I have to ask myself if Skerry has lost his fire and is just kinda going through the motions. Numbers don’t lie. None of these 3 young men are D1 players. 

    aren't scholarships renewed annually?  I 100% agree with this post, we don't need all 3 of these guys - i'd swap all 3 and gamble on transfers...

    Team looked pretty good.  Constantinides looked good on faceoffs - I like how he attacked more and didn't panic as much as he did against UR.  Team is generally slow and allergic to fast breaks although they did push some against UVA.  Defense looked really good against a high powered offense.  On offense, they lack speed and dodging ability.  Mikey had a few nice goals (the one where he dove just short of the net was exciting).  He has some wheels too.  Was great to see him get his first 3 and would love to see him carve out a larger role.  Long was really good - I thought the book on him was to shoot high, and he stopped pretty much every high shot early on and solely kept us in the game during the first 20 minutes or so........I feel like if we had a Drenner on this team we could we be really good.  Excited to see how we fare in CAA play.

    I don't understand why we would offer a guy scoring 10 a game at JUCO.  That translates to 2 ppg in D1.  There are JUCO guys scoring 25+ can we aim a bit higher and target folks who can create their own shots or are 3 point specialists?   I don't want Brian Starr 2.0...

    Now after taking a moment to look at both of their stats, each of these guys are shooting over 40% from 3.....So maybe neither would be Brian Starr 2.0.....I really want the staff to pursue scorers over power lifters

    i just got back from the game.  passing game was terrible.  forcing stuff, passing to areas where they expected someone to be there and they were never there, simple errors that took place all game long.  

    Constandines looked good on the draws, but when they pressed him, he'd panic and just throw the ball up for grabs.  He needed more composure.

    Mikey's turnover was on a play where he attacked the goal and ended up in the crease - i will take that turnover versus the zillion others where we just threw the ball away.  He seems to have wheels and I wish they have featured him more than they did.  The offense was too much passing around the perimeter and then trying to thread needles on perfect passes, which led to turnovers or passes being knocked down.  Think Berkeley could have attacked more.....

    In general the offense lacks speed and athleticism.  We had a few break opportunities and we would just pull the ball back out, which was incredibly frustrating to watch.  No transition offense to speak of.  Lastly, I think half of UR's goals took place with less than 10 seconds on the play clock - heartbreaking.  This team has some potential, but Nads really needs at least one speedy dodger and the team needs to practice handling pressure b/c they folded against it all game long and lost a winnable game.

    I wish we would recruit AND sign players like Conway.  The "knock" on him was his defense, but he seems ok to me on D, and he's the best shooter we've had for some time - amazing he is hitting around 50% of his 3's, hitting at the highest percentage I can ever remember (including folks like Neal, Four, Josh Thornton).  4 was a good shooter, but had a slow release, and we had no guard play to speak of, so he rarely had open looks.  The staff really should focus more on snipers and teach them D, rather than going to the default option of a wing that are generally challenged offensively.  

    Conway adds an element of excitement we have lacked and Hicks provides much needed handling and D.  It's a decent duo, but just once, I'd like an Estrada, Jenkins, Thornton, Riller, etc., that are POY type offensive studs...

    A big compliant of pat ( I know there are many from me), is the lateness of putting walkons in. Speedy pulled players with over 3 left. And Pat tried to get some in around 1.20 but should have just called a running timeout. They deserve it and it definitely is a positive for all of the players 

    100% agree with this.  When we are crushing Monmouth and Hofstra give the bench guys more time.  I hate when they come in with 25 seconds left just to hold the ball.....Get them in with 3 minutes left from time to time.

    As far as playing the bench more, that's fine. But when you get two points off the bench and you're not getting anything offensively from Sylla, Biekeu, Hicks and May, not sure what else you can do until Gibson returns. You can start Hicks, get more D and less O, and bring off Conway for some O. Though maybe playing Holden and Timberlake 30 minutes or less can't hurt. 

    That's insane.  Skerry does not recruit offense, so if we want to play the bench more, we'd put up 40 points a game.  For once can we recruit a dynamic freshman?  Conway has been a nice surprise and May might be good, but the rest (and the upcoming recruiting class) look weak.  It's a shame because we have potential this year.
