Sammy & Eddren?

[amckillip]

Dodie and Sammy I felt played better off the bench.

I'm not quite sure how'd you'd justify this with too much data last year... Examples? I'm not disagreeing, I just think it's fair to make this statement bc SM started almost every game.

No way is my Leader, one of my best players and scorer coming off the bench The spark starts at the tip off not when your butt is down The team needs their leader on the court from the beginning, not half way through the game. I have said this before (most coach's agree) that the first 5 to 6 minutes, sets the tone for most games Let the other team come from behind and worry about a spark From our bench we need stability and any more they can give I won't debate the issue good teams have a great bench and I think we will have one this year
As for going big at the 3, 4 and 5 read below

As long as we can compete for a Valley title and win the Tourney to get into the NCAA tournament we can start Sleepy,Dopey, Grumpy,Bashful, and Sneezy.....with Doc as a sixthe man for all I care

[QUOTE=amckillip;144215]What, a post about how we shouldn't be playing small and that JL is wrong? From AZ BU Fan? NEVER.

Jeez AMckillip, I thought I was more subtle!

On the one hand I get Tornado saying we should be ranked #1-2 in the Valley this year, with all our returning experience. People saying TB and WE will be better than TW and DC....People saying DD and CR will really step up this year as seniors and that TB is a MONSTER.

On the other hand, the "people who are actually in the know" feel all our other guards/wings are inconsistent/unproven so we will only get enough offense/defense having to play predominantly with two small point guards on the floor at the same time neither of whom showed last year they can consistently create their own jump shot or jump shoot accurately off the dribble - both like to drive it to the basket.

For a team which didn't rebound well last year, we solve it this year with two 6' guards on top and a 6'4" on the wing (or two 6'4"s on the wings)?

It's true BU played two small guards on the way to the NCAA, but they also had Boogie, Cellus, POB and ZA out there to even things up...and who were involved in the offense a lot.

If the prevailing forum attitude is everything JL is spot on (recruiting, player development, offensive/defensive game plans, scheduling, and in game coaching) I guess the only thing left to talk about is bashing the NCAA/NJAA, how ISU su*ks, and if BU will ever get enough players with enough talent to beat CU, ISU, SIU, UNI - wait, can't talk about that since JL recruiting is spot on. I guess the only way BU loses is bad luck, a bad place to go to school, and bad practice facilities!

Sorry Lefty...If you think Dopey is starting over Doc well I guess we just don't see eye to eye.

And Sleepy has yet to play ONE MINUTE of D1 ball yet you have him pencilled in the starting lineup....I appreciate you drinking the koolaid but I just think its wishful thinking....I don't see it...hope I'm wrong.

Bashful was hurt last year and I think by mid season he'll be starting but look for mopie to have his spot from the first game.

We agree though on grumpy.....I look for him to tear up the Valley this year. Can you say Valley POY!!!!!!!!!!

Great post DRU, wonderfully creative!

Just in, the NCAA just declared Grumpy inelligble for being in a movie that made money!

I was finally able to beat out Tornado on a NCAA eligibility story!
