I agree. One thing I think hurt us is coaching style. As much as I hate K he did a good job of coaching his players without jumping down there throats. Cal's constant screaming and yelling on every play has to get old and I think recruits see that. Maybe I'm wrong but that's just my opinion.
Its not just about what he did last year. If you watch him play you can tell he has a lot of potential and second year players tend to make big strides. He would be a very solid pick up.
This is spot on. Plain and simple Brooks will be better than anybody we bring in. Hes also better than Toppin or anybody that can play the 4 on our roster. If he had a normal offseason and didn't get hurt early in the year he would have been a much different player this year.
So how do we feel about this now? Seems like Carr is the guy Cal is targeting. Not saying Zegarowski couldn't enter the portal and commit to UK but I'm getting pretty skeptical since there has been no indication he's even going to transfer. I personally like Zegarowski over Carr so I was hoping...
Just looking at his stats a couple things stood out to me. He shot 36% from 3 his sophomore year which is pretty good. Also averaged 6.7 assist a game to go along with 15ppg & 5.3 rebounds as a sophomore. That's a big time guard numbers in one of the best leagues. His numbers took a slight dip...
I think you might have your UNC bigs mixed up. Brooks averaged 10 & 7 this year with a loaded frontcourt for UNC. If he hadn't been hurt this year his numbers would be much better and probably there best big man. He averaged 17 & 8.5 last year. He's a take in my eyes if this is true.
3 things that stand out to me on his shot and why he's struggling:
1. He's off balance when he shoots most of the time. Never seems to jump straight up and down. He's never consistently shooting the same shot and that's why his misses are so bad.
2. He shoots the ball from his hip which makes...
