Last Night Action:
Greg Williams, Jr. (Louisiana) - 18 pts.; 4 reb; 7 ast
Josh Roberts (Manhattan) - 6 pts.; 2 reb; 1 ast
Isaih Moore (Southern Miss) - 19 pts.; 7 reb; 1 ast
Marcellus Earlington (San Diego) - 10 pts.; 5 reb
Rasheem Dunn (Robert Morris) - 7 pts.; 2 ast
David Caraher (High Point) - DNP
Watched Robert Morris game a bit….Rasheem had a tough night….didn’t seem as locked in on defense as he was for SJ
Josh Roberts starts but wasn’t in much down stretch….with that said, he did look engaged and happy…team went into stands after beating Fordham
From what I have seen so far of our transfers in, the loss of some quality players doesn't seem very significant anymore.
Yes, staff upgraded all the way around. If you look at it by who replaced who in the rotation.
Soriano replaced Roberts - Soriano is light year's ahead of Roberts offensively. Probably about equal defensively right now. Soriano's size and ability to score in the post makes him invaluable.
Smith replaced Dunn - Smith is a better shooter, decision maker, and defender. Dunn is probably better at attacking the rim. Smith just fits better alongside Posh than Dunn did, although Dunn had his moments
Wheeler replaced Moore- I think Wheeler gives everything Moore gave offensively with less drama, better shot selection, and way better defense. Wheeler is legit guarding 1-5 out there full court.
Coburn replaced Cole - Coburn better in every single aspect of the game, was a huge late addition pick-up. You could argue he's the 3rd best player on the team right now.
Mathis replaced Williams - Probably a balanced trade here. Mathis slightly better defensively and Williams much better shooter. Both are equal in their athletic ability. Will Mathis defense end up being a better fit than Williams ability to stretch the floor, this is probably something we won't know until later in the season.
100% agree.
This team clearly has more talent (and less drama) than last year's team
