I thought with Tucker moving on to a team with more offensive weapons around him would change his game. It doesn't look like that has been the case.  I defended him last year since he didn't have much help surrounding him. I haven't watched any Georgetown games this year, but he's accounting for 29% of the Hoya's shots this year. Last year at SU he accounted for 25%, and he was known as a high volume shooter, to put it mildly.

SU was a very top heavy team last year, Dordevic, Curry and Seebold accounted for 59% of their shots last year. This year Dordevic, Bundy and Minicus account for 63% of the Georgetown shots. I don't think any team wants to follow in the footsteps of last year's SU team.  For another comp, Virginia's top three shooters account for just 37% of their shots.  Given their the number one team in the country and just scored 20 goals in a half against Harvard, I'd say that's the balance you are looking for.  Maryland's top three shooters last year? 38%.

Lot's could change for the Hoya's, and even if they struggle in non-conference play, they could still very easily get in via Big East tournmaent. It's only been two games but they are putting some very strange offensive numbers. Starting attackman TJ Haley, who is very good, has no shots or assists through two games. I don't think I've ever seen something like that from a top player.  Kelly and Solomon have combined for just four points. Declan McDermott has zero points in two games.

No idea if Dordevic regrets if he stayed or maybe just regrets where he transferred to.  He's a very skilled player but it is strange see the same issues that marred SU's season last year translate to his new team.
