Final Grades

Since the season ends today(Don’t care about possible NIT) figured get a jump on things.
Soriano- kid worked hard and had great season. Wish he finished a little stronger around basket but easy to root for and hope he comes back.
A+

Jones- erratic and a bit of chucker but Has undeniable talent. Granted I only saw him 4 or 5 times last year but didn’t seem this out of control. Think he is definitely salvageable with right coach.
Had high expectations so D+

Wusu-poster boy for 50/50 player. Does something good, immediately does something horrible and vice versa.
Not a bad passer when under control though rarely is. Worst layup shooter of all time and is the CY Young of getting his shot blocked.
If concentrated on playing D, moving the ball and shooting spot up 3’s he would be way more valuable.
C

Storr- some guy on here was raving about him from the jump. Forget his name but the greatest poster of all time. Yes he has defensive lapses and sometimes just stands around on offense-though that is on Anderson as well.
He can shoot and score and a very good athlete and a surprisingly good passer. Should have played more from the beginning.
B+

Posh-very odd. Very strange that for some reason almost from the beginning Anderson has wanted him off the ball. Listen he played terrible and his offense affected his D. 5-10 kid who doesn’t shoot well playing off the ball with a lunatic definitely affected him as well.
D-

Curbelo- I have a pretty high tolerance for knuckleheads. Curbelo was probably the most annoying kid we have had and that is saying something. Has some talent….. But good luck elsewhere.
F

Stanley- like him and should have played more but not as much as some on here seem to think. Needs to rebound better. But would definitely be a nice rotation piece going forward.
B

King-has some skills but as of now better in small doses. Brando gives him an A+ but he also confuses him with Storr.
C

Pinzon- has a decent outside shot but for those of you complaining about Storr’s D…
At least 3 times that I saw missed a shot and never even tried to get back on D. Don’t blame him for Anderson stuff. Frustrated 19 year old kid who had bad coach. Not sure all those injuries weren’t actual punishments.
D-

Anderson- disappointing would be the word I would use to sum up his tenure. Was able to accumulate talent which made the results so frustrating. Again I didn’t follow Arkansas, Missouri or UAB every day but from from what I did see I find it hard to believe that this disjointed, unorganized team we have watched is coached by same guy.
This season F
Tenure D-

This season F
Tenure D-
I may disagree slightly with some of the grades but overall spot on in the descriptions. Was hoping for a write up on Nwiye who seems to be part of our rotation now.
 
Soriano- A
Jones - D
Wusu - B-
Storr - B+
Posh - C-
Curbelo - F---
Stanley- B
King- I
Pinzon- D
Nyiwe - F
Traeore - I
Keita - I
 
Can we do poster grades too? For example I give myself a C for this season.

I was way too lenient with CMA not giving Storr time early in the season.

Was also pretty dismissive of the non conference schedule. Even though I still don’t think it killed us as we had our chances in Big East play. So that kinda comes out in the wash.

But also had some good posts and takes throughout the year. Including a disassembling of MakingPlays in an argument about Posh

Some bad moments, some good. We move onto next year

Posh - C
Curbelo - F--
Stanley- C+
King- C
Pinzon- F
Nyiwe - D
Traeore - I
Keita - I
 
Excellent grades
Curbelo such a detriment that’s why Anderson gets an F for letting them play together for too long and hurting the team
 
It’s hard to grade these kids based on the coaching, or lack there of, that transpired. Under a more structured offense several of these players may have received a higher grade.
