Despite the perception, our fans want to be hopeful. What hurt our faith in Pope worse than the results was his bizarre behavior/commerntary and zero recruits. He needs to get high end guys and sound like a guy that has a plan.
Athletic enough and skilled. Arizona can attack you from every position with the dribble and they can all pass off that. You have to get the defense moving and take advantage of the fact there are almost no charges now.
During the year with HS recruiting going poorly I thought we would hear about more Euro recruiting. Still may I guess but Arizona has some really tough mature guys from overseas. We got one but he was soft and poorly coached. Where is Scott Rigot?
I would think he would want to grab the money before the portal signing window opens. Really the sooner the better for us too so we can move on and not tie up money.
People just are not using any perspective because of the ofer on high end guys. We loved the Thiero signing because it came in the spring on top of a good class. This is a good signing and will not scare anyone away.
You definitely have to scheme him but also he made a good jump from his senior year of hs to this year. He seems to have a good work ethic and he has a good feel for the game. I agree with you that running high action with him like we did this year is not very effective. You need a shooter, rim...
