Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 4194667, member: 393"] Good post, RF. The failure to bring in a true PG since Ennis left unexpectedly following the 13-14 season coincides with the beginning of the decline in the program. It's not a coincidence. Jalen Carey was not a PG (water is wet), he wasn't even a combo guard. And to think that he could play as one was a disaster and a warning sign of things to come. Joe saved the season in a sense when he took over at PG after the Carey experiment failed. Joe is a combo guard best suited off the ball. But he earned JB's trust and that has carried forward. Joe does a lot of things well (I know that is not a popular stance). But his tragic flaw is his inability handle on the ball pressure - one of the most important skill sets a PG [B]must[/B] have. I don't blame Joe for being put in that position. I admire what he has been able to do given his limitations. [/QUOTE]
