Message: [QUOTE="Hopkins16, post: 4961201, member: 3893"] Carey, Hima and Taylor should be nicely told to find a better fit. Benny won't be forced out but let's hope he realizes he gave his all here and it's not working out and sees hope in Girard's current situation. Judah will leave for the NBA. In reality, the roster will not be turned over quickly. So, everyone else should be working on their flaws or shortcomings after the season ends. There's this thing called "working to get better." I think that major Division One programs with highly skilled and paid coaches make a plan for each player after the season that can be effective. Copeland will be the best distributor coming back, so the goal this offseason should be intense ball protection and ball handling/dribbling training, along with decision making. There's a marvelous facility named after a hall of fame player with a top notch weight training room, with a highly paid professional weight trainer who should be able to transform the young eagerly growing body of Chris Bell to gain strength even if body weight/mass gain is a struggle. There are googable videos of "how to increase your vertical leap" that really works and I have seen young guys at my gym do them, and over the course of time, these guys went from being able to touch the backboard, to touching the rim, almost can dunk, can actually dunk, making spectacular dunks, elevating over guys for rebounds. Perhaps our coaches can try to find these videos to help our wonderful Malik get even better. I can go on about each guy but I guess you get the point. Instead of moving trainable guys along or settling for years with a player's limited skill set, how about doing your job as coaches and trainers and work to help them get better? We definitely need a knockdown shooter from the portal to go along with the unproven Moore. We also need a multi-skilled forward, also from the portal. Those 2 needs are possible and realistic gets. But, to round out the picture and to have a better 24-25 season, the guys who are already here must get better in their areas of deficiencies. [/QUOTE]
