No postseason?

I hope we go and use it to see who really has the passion for the game. JL needs to recruit guys that have true passion like he does. We have a good core but on great teams everyone is on the bus and if you have to leave someone behind because the dedication for the sport or team is not there then I believe in addition by subtraction. This off season regardless, has to be one where these guys take their preparation to the next level. If you ever saw one of MJ's off season workouts you would know he did not leave anything to chance. I can go on and on about the greatest athaletes in all sports and how they prepared themselves but I bet we have seen a few tapes.
 
I'd also like to see WE take a few jumpers to see if he still has it! Then the opposing big would have to leave the paint.
 
Thanks for correcting me. Boy is my face red. I assumed because he never rebounds that he is away from the basket trying to make 3s. If he attempted no 3s, it's worse. Why can't a 6'9 guy with his mobility get any rebounds? On the other hand, I have read that he is a very good outside shooter. Why hasn't he shot any 3s?

He actually attempted 14 3's his freshman year, but hasn't attempted any since. He was actually suppose to be a decent shooter when he came in if I remember right, but never made any when he shot them in games and probably just went away from doing it since he was moved to be a 5 man more than a 4 since his freshman year. So I'm not sure why he has taken out that part of his game completely, but I assume it is because he is a 5 now, and JL doesn't want the 5 man taking too many 3's unless he becomes more consistent at it (0-14 career).
 
fansince55, don't worry about what you said. I remember hearing what was said when we drafted WE, that he has a good outside shot and can play the 3 position, same was said about MK and TB. How can we tell if we're running with JE playing the 4 in a four guard offence. Many posters here want to see us play bigger. WE has only taken 14 shots from 3 point in his career, it doesn't mean he can't shoot it - it just means he hasn't been given the chance and I'm having a hard time with that. I believe we were told in a PJS article last year that that JL said this was to be the best team (hype, hype...) that he has had :(

BU RICK - Since you like close games more than blowouts, you must have really hated Friday's dismantling of Creighton huh?

That's funny, because I was going to post the same thing to you a few days ago but didn't. I remember you were talking about the 19 point lead we lost but still won in a prior game and was giving you, not directly, a hard time because we still won. Then we beat CU by 19. Trust me, we'd be good friends but I still like to watch close games and when it comes to Bradley winning by 19 every time is fine by me. Maybe next year.
 
Has anyone heard if we are also looking for another assistant to take Merfs spot on the bench or are we going to keep it the same? We need an assistant that can be like Jerrance Howard with out Jerrance, Weber may not get some of the guys that he has signed.
