Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 5762526, member: 237"] Agree for the most part if we are looking at things right now without a summer to evaluate and see any improvements. Siby at a minimum might be more serviceable as a defensive backup if he makes a jump but still a what if. Goodrick has 9 D1 games - so we know nothing. Doty is a 6th man if he isn’t going to be 35 pct or better from 3. Not saying that can’t develop but that’s my measurement with him. Where I’m going to counter is Folefac. He is a decent athlet, high IQ and that bully ball forward type and only a freshman. I don’t care it was the MAAC - he performed in multiple big moments against good teams and in the conference tournament in big moments. He can be useful behind Sadiq and he’s someone at the 4 who you can post against a slimmer 4 man to force the defense to counter because he is a good passer out of the post. The big challenge will be lead guard and how we attack that. If we do upgrade and attack it with the money we still have ( considering we were on Wilkins and Freeman with money to land both I doubt Wilson changes that) can balance this all out a lot more. I think that status quo plus Folefac and a full summer of work can make a big difference with a talented and much bigger staff. Taking the uncertainty out though would certainly make a lot of us feel better that’s for sure. We all should remember we’ve been dealing with a staff that has not progressed a single player over a summer off season so far. Almost every other winning program that’s pulling in kids from smaller schools that has spent the money to build a talented and deep staff is leaning on growth and improvement and generating results. It’s a must have not a nice to have in this environment. So while we always need better at every position we will never be where we want to get without a staff that evaluates better than a fan base and improves and progresses players along. [/QUOTE]
