Cliff needs very specific help because he in not very physical. Thought the Wolf would be perfect complement but it doesn't work out that way. We do not collapse on rebounds. We don't box out.
Wolf's poor rebounding at the 4 is head scratching. He should be able to just flat out luck into more rebounds just being on the court at his size

This. Between Wolf and Cliff, rebounding really is our biggest problem. 324th ranked out of what 350 or so programs? It’d be even worse if we hadn’t played such a soft schedule to boot. I don’t think anything else is actually as bad as the stats look. The panicking and chucking up desperation shots makes the offense seem worse than it is. As long as we’re getting stops, we’ve looked consistently okay and the scoring droughts aren’t so that bad. The issue is that when we don’t grab rebounds we don’t get stops because eventually the opponent scores. The first try D is fine.

We have a identity problem. No chemistry with the whole team.
so I would think it's front and back court problem...

Maybe Mag will be the glue? fingers crossed

Not 100% true. Paul and apparently Cam didn’t get along with others for many basketball reasons. A lot of those reason are showing this year. Paul had a very high intensity level and some others did not appreciate it / couldn’t handle it. Go figure.
So let’s say this is true..who is left on this team that they wouldn’t get along with?

Mag Cliff or simpson…

Oskar was already gone when they left

The Jay Young effect?
