[QUOTE="1duluth1, post: 130248123, member: 1919021"] WVU is ranked #291 in shooting percentage - between Norfolk State and Arkansas Pine-Bluff. That means over 80% of all universities shoot better than us, the 16th ranked team in the country. I brought this up several years ago, but I still wonder if too much time on the weights ruins shooting touch? John Beilein liked his players skinny - and able to shoot. I wonder after you spend middle school and high school developing a shot... then hitting the weights hard in college - changing the motion of the arms with large muscles - does that affect shooting that you spent years developing. Even if my theory is discounted, does anyone have a clue why we never seem to have good-shooting teams? It is just a preference to recruit defenders, rebounders, etc.? I am not asking why can't get 5-star recruits like Duke. I am asking why we can't get shooters better than Norfolk State? -Winter Tim [/QUOTE]
