Offensively he’s really second to none.

Seton Hall to me looks like a potential final four team.

A now we start to cannibalize each other. Unparalleled basketball balance.
We are 12-5 and should be proud of the effort Coach Anderson demands from these under talented players. UNC with McDonald's AA is 8-8. Virginia just lost to a .500 Syracuse. Can't wait to get a stud or two on this team. They will be fun to watch.

Agree with 72 that I am super proud of the effort that these under talented players put forth night after night. This should have been an experienced team but Keita, Dixon, Wright all hit the highway after sitting out a year and from where we sit now it looks like Steere might join that group. Out of 5 transfers over the prior 2 seasons only David C is playing and contributing. Dunn is a CMA transfer and just continues to improve. 37 points and 17 boards over his last 2 games. No one would have ever predicted that. Another kid who has really overachieved under the new staff, and best of all he is a local kid which will bring positive attention in recruiting circles. Dunn and Champagnie made Brooklyn proud today.
As for studs I just don’t think that is CMA’s model. Increasing the talent absolutely but I don’t see him putting effort in the 5 star players right now as he is constructing a system and culture. Playing intense D, sharing the ball, playing a team défense, those seem to be the attributes he values. Perhaps after a few very successful seasons he may go after that type of player as his stock will be known and valued locally.

"Games like this are what got me here " (in studio vs. still coaching)
Also referenced how it was like his Year 1 games/team[/quote]
THIS is the job he should have taken 5 years ago. Much easier to analyze than strategize as was evident with his coaching.
Wish him the best but Mullin apologist FUN and his man servant Marrilic have had a tough adjustment. Just like fake news CNN they fabricate a positive past and a doubtful future.
Here's a an analysis of Heron by Marillac:
"Heron was a top 25 recruit who played well enough to be named second team all-SEC as both a freshman and a sophomore and then played well enough with injuries as a junior to named to the preseason All-Big East second team.
Anderson doesn’t know how to use him. He belongs in a structured system and Anderson can only coach chaos.
LJ is half the player he was last year as well."
LMFAO! Heron belongs in a structured system? Mullin didn't have any system but an unstructured 5 out and no defense. He didn't score more than 10 points in the most important last games of last season and scored ZERO points in his big last game. Figgy wasn't much better.
Heron will not be the last 5 star player to hit the brick wall by shooting bricks. Lacking focus and purpose is the usual culprit in players like Figgy and Heron. Brooklyn hard baller has it with half their talent. Coach Anderson needs to bring it out. Mullin never was going to get close to developing either player.

WOW 72, you are really getting judgmental regarding LJ and Heron. Lacking focus and purpose. Always helpful to get the opinion of a long distance Clinical Psychologist .
Have a nice day.

Where did you and Dr. Fuchsia see long distance psychology in my comment? Like CNN let's not create just part of the story. I'm sure you observe players during games as much as anyone here. If you think Mustapha has been razor focused during games God bless but up until this DePaul game he has been anything but sharp in passing, defense or shot selection. He's a talented player who is playing much below his and our expectations. As for purpose please be reminded that both of these players are the most senior of our players who should be playing determined basketball to achieve a win using good judgment while on the court. Aa many other psychologists here seem to think Mustapha hasn't shown the stuff needed. Some even called for his benching which I do not. Both these men in their early 20's don't have the luxury to grow this season any longer. Their goal was professional ball. Based on the past 17 games there is zero chance of that happening in the continental US. So, my friend, in a basketball and not a psychological sense, what I pointed to is what some scouts may also see and that is talented players playing below the level of a Dunn who has the determination and toughness that the aforementioned have lacked and that is what many of you will be trying to analyze after the season is over.
I know you and Fuschia like to reminisce about your clinical experience but I'm pretty sure you are smart enough to observe player decision making, facial expression, on floor leadership and know that one's mental approach to the game is as important as his physical abilities or talent.

I think that link provided an article with a few good suggestions. I passed it on to my son who is coaching an AAU team of local high school age students.

You are welcome!
Article is old news and great fans like Panther and Fuschia should have known better than just misinterpreting my comments. It was the "focus" from this basic text that I was referring to:
"Your body is controlled by your mind. Controlling your mind through thought is called focus.
Peak performance requires focus. You must have very specific purpose and intent. Simplify that purpose to the smallest variable possible, and that becomes your focal point. You don’t need to think, but you do need to focus! Pure focus equals maximum performance!"

It’s amazing that Cooley has his Friars at 3-1 at this point considering how poorly they played in November and December . It would help our cause if Heron and Figgy could drain 6 or 7 3’s between them . You kind of need numbers in that vicinity these days to stand a chance at winning .
