If he could go back in time our roster looks radically different.
Huge “What If”
- Thread starter paultzman
- Start date
And he talks very differently at his opening press conference.
Yes a very mediocre team.
How so his opening press conference he only had Joel and Traore on the team the roster was built after that.
Yeah, that's my point. I think if he knew what the roster would ultimately be like, I think he would try to temper expectations in Year 1.
“Today with NIL, the Big East, I expect to rebuild in months, not years”
I genuinely don't think he says that, knowing what he knows now. I think he said that quote with the expectation of having a Clayton Jr.-Jenkins backcourt with Soriano.
Per Torvik, SJU is 228 in eFG%, 137th in turnovers, 318th! in free throw rate, 211th in 3pt%. Yet, SJU is 4th in offensive rebounding. Cuimulatively, he ranks our offense, overall, at 30th in the country.
The free throw rate kills me.
Especially when combined with a 3-point rate that ranks 279th. That has to be a rare combo.
Edit: One thing to add though, is that no BE team even ranks in the top 115 in free throw rate, so big east refs may play a part. butler, X, and seton hall also take few threes and don't shoot many FTs.
Agree. Unfortunately it has been that way for years it seems. My wife knows that this is when I yell the loudest at watching our games: missed free throws.
We may not have total control over free throw rate but we sure do over percentage of free throws we make and ours is really pretty pathetic especially when it counts
Between the “staff of ten” one would hope so.
I'll let you know when we get to the line.
Both are symptoms of the same underlying issue: lack of dribble penetration.
If you're referring to me, I'm agreeing with you that his junior year wasn't great. But you keep repeating it was downhill since his Freshman season, and I provided you factual evidence he peaked in his Sophomore season, which you don't seem interested in acknowledging. Maybe semantics for what you're trying to get at, but the reality is he was really good both his Freshman and Sophomore years, before seriously regressing his Junior year.
The conference has learned a lot from Wright's teams that never fouled. Creighton is #1 in the country in defensive foul rate. Butler is 8th. I'd bet Marquette and Nova are pretty high too.

Question: If Posh is a "pure" point guard and Mvp isn't - then why does Daniss have more total assists, a higher assist per game avg, and a better assist/to ratio? Not being a wisea$$ for once. A legit question.
