Fordham, Mon., Nov. 4, 6:30p, FS-1

My thoughts tonight:

- this is our best roster in a long time. Lavin’s second to last team, that inexplicably missed the tourney, might be the only other recent team I remember having as much talent.

- Luis is going to wow you sometimes, and he is going to piss you off sometimes. My biggest question for him this year - do you want to win basketball games or do you just want to showcase yourself? Because he’s the one player who stuck out to me tonight as the guy primarily concerned with “getting his”. Will be keeping an eye on that

- Wilcher, Zuby, Richmond, Smith and Scott are all great pieces and I’m excited to watch them play this year

- the ones I’ll be watching closely going forward: Vince and Brady. Vince showed signs of being a capable back up. He’s active, a little slow, but big and strong. Excited to watch his development this year. As for Brady, I believe in him. He’s a heady player. Just need his catch and shoots to fall at a decent clip, I fear better teams will try to pick on him a bit on defense though.
 
Did exactly what we needed to do against a weaker opponent. 32 point win is a 32 point win. Good job. Only nitpicking thing is early on we gave up too many open looks. Defense picked up as the game went along. Good stuff to work on.

Agree. And could love to see Glover get a good chance to contribute.
 
-Richmond is a bulldog and a great teammate. He gels with literally almost everyone (RJ?) I am blown away by how he doesn’t force it when he’s a top 25
player in the country

-Wilcher’s shot is flat-out gorgeous. The handle is a little loose, but that kid is money in space

-Expected Zuby to go nuts…great footwork on the perimeter…defensive rebounding is a REAL problem for him

-Deivon will get in the lane at will…twice as quick as anyone else…shooters need to stay ready

-Scott will be the same guy in and game out regardless of what anyone else does

-Vince was solid…I think Prey will really surge over the next six weeks

Top 26 😂

Zuby has never once had 5 defensive boards in a game. It’s a worry 100%
 
I don’t get the hate towards RJ. I guess many of you don’t get the fact that when you can beat the man who is playing you and score you do so and I’m sure Coach wants him to do so. It’s not like he took wild shots, he was 4 for 7. Are there areas of RJs game that can be improved?, of course but when he’s tearing it up as the season progresses you will all deny the crap you are laying on him now as he has now become the sites whipping boy.
