UCONN lost by one possession to eventual national champion. They were okay
Iowa St., Mon., Nov. 24, 4:30p, TruTV / 1050 AM
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
Sellers can, Ian and Sanon are streaky.
Repole needs to demand a refund from a few of these guys
You lose enough of them, it could be deadly. Even Kentucky might not be a great win, if we get it.
Insane player. Getting him in the portal after year 1 of Rick might’ve made us all think guys like that were gonna be coming around every year. Not the case

Sanon looks lost.
Except, we actually committed about 15, and Iowa State actually committed about 30.
Unfortunately, all three not good decision makers, yet.

Correct…. They lost. They did not have a point guard last year. It cost them, we look very much the same. Lots of talent and no one to run team .
So much of the discussion is about darling but if Ian and joson (two players much HIGHER rated than Darling) could just be half decent combo guards and play some defense we wouldn’t need darling to be on the floor 24/7

I’m five vodka sodas and two shots deep and still haven’t gotten a pity lap dance for this loss. Matt A’s a good dude, but he can’t spot real talent.
What I mean is—he doesn’t know what actually makes a guy a player.
Take Marvin Clarke. Izzo tried turning him into Draymond Green, but at St. John’s he insisted on living on the perimeter—that’s who he was.
Sanon and Jackson? Hope they prove me wrong, but right now they’re just prospects.
Long season ahead… and for what we spent, let’s just say the money wasn’t exactly invested wisely.

We win this game if Ayo gets Sanon minutes
Did Darling have a poor first half? I know he didn’t score but St. John’s had 45 points and the lead at half. The minutes I saw in the second half I thought he impacted us playing well. +5 for the game. Did he guard lipsey early on?

The reason, for me at least, is that Ian is so constitutionally not a point guard & never was, that I can't blame him for not filling in those shoes. It never made sense. If Rick wasn't Rick, I think it would've gotten a lot more heat. Joson is a wing, so different position.
But I do agree, if they both actually played well on defense & did *something else* but score against quality competition, we probably win tonight.
My ire is more towards Matt and Rick than Darling, for the record.
What if we recruited a proven combo instead of having to develop one?

Still very early within the season boys, the one thing this team lacks desperately besides a PG is go to scorer, the last few years we had primary bucket getters when we needed it . Hopefully Jackson or Joson gain the confidence they desperately need to become that for us, ( and what they were projected to do) if that doesn’t happen I can see this being a roller coaster of a season. Hopefully I’m wrong. (If only RJ stuck around!!!!) just thinking out loud.
