We didn’t knock anything out of the park. Not saying we got bad players but whether we got better or worse is purely subjective at this point. People didn’t like Judah — or at least big parts of his game (though it feels like there’s a lot of the former). People seem obsessed with Brown struggling in the post against bigger centers late in the season. People feel Copeland was a major problem off the court/in the locker room.I’m not debating any of that. I think we got some good players, at positions of need. I just cringe when someone says we “knocked it out of the park” with that set of transfers. It’s just a ludikris bit of hyperbole.
I wonder what the level of hype would be if any of our guys were in the top 50.
There are elements of truth there. But at this point, I have major concerns about how he holds up defensively and I struggle to believe he is Onuaku pt. 2 offensively. Carlos and Davis should contribute, but at what level, it’s hard to say.
there is a lot that goes into being a good basketball team so it’s best to wait and see … but I have a really hard time believing the talent we brought in even matches the talent that went out. If someone is suggesting we hit a home run they have to know something I don’t about the transfers, freeman/moore, Westry’s health, and/or englestad. Otherwise, just by judging individual pieces, it’s really hard to believe we got better.
