SJU Practices & Player Development

Always like it when a former SJU coach like Seth Greenberg visits his old haunts.

He was our coach once right? Just before Paul Hewitt and after Jim Baron.
I've come to believe over the years that Greenberg and his big personality would have been successful here.

I'm too lazy to see who he would have overlapped with and when his named was floated, but if there was a Greenberg era instead of the Norm era, I don't think we fall quite as far.
 
This team has the deepest roster a SJU team has had in decades. Not saying they will be the best, but definitely the deepest and that will help it overcome some injuries (knock on wood hope not) over the course of the season. Plus having a phenomenal tactician at head coach helps too.

If Drissa and Sadiku are considered to be at the low end of the depth chart, all I can say is wow.

Sadiku is a player IMHO. Liked what I saw from him during scrimmage. High energy guy that is built like a truck and has skills

No disrespect to them, but I would be very disappointed if Drissa or sadiku were
not at low end of depth chart. Drissa wasn’t even in rotation For a below average
SJU team, and Sadiku was 9th in average minutes for a (good) mid-major.

You’re missing my point. I’m not saying they are the next Deangelo Harrison

I’m also Not saying they should not be at the bottom of our roster depth chart. My point is that they are light years better than the Heath Orvis, Jack Wolfinger, David Caraher, Brian Trimble, and Adonis DelRosa, Larry Wright etc. of yesteryear who had no business being on a competitive Big East roster.

Let's wait and see how they develop under a coach who is great at developing and improving players who are willing to put in the work which both of these guys clearly are.
 
The one skill that absolutely cannot be taught. It can be developed and grown but a person either has it inside them or doesn’t. No person willing to work as hard as reflected in the article ever fails. I am seriously rooting for this young man.
I cant wait to see Zuby & entire team start play.
but 0 for 6 at the line scares me a bit. looking at his
last year stats was 5/10 at the line In very small sample,
and had 43 rebounds in 127 min, or over 10 reb/30 min !

Zuby might develop PF skills over next few years under
staff, but this year I see him as a 5 only.

When Zuby went to the line for his 7th free throw opportunity at the scrimmage pitino says to Zuby and the crowd. Hey Zuby try something different. Make one. It was pretty funny. He made it.
