Wooga is good, but he’s not a guy you run an offense with. Almost a 1:1 a/to ratio and more of a three-level shot maker. He’s a nice fit for what Villanova wants to run on offense, but Neptune has gotta go.
Laughable, their crap roster doesn’t have room for 2 solid players?
yea they're gonna need guys like Coleman and Middleton to make big jumps, losing Davis, Richmond, and Dawes is alot, and even Bediako was a surprise for them. makes the tourney snub even worse when you knew they would have to replace damn near their entire starting line-up without a lot waiting in the wings.
If the nj.com stories are true about their insufficient NIL support, that is going to be a big problem. Shaheen will need to use the MoneyBall approach that UConn uses just to consistently make the NCAAT (i.e. like Ed Cooley's Providence teams). If Shaheen is successful in doing that I can at least 1 of 2 outcomes, 1) more NIL money coming in, although not enough to consistently get top 70 recruits or 2) Shaheen bolting to another school where he will get more NIL money.
Add Gus Yalden (Wisconsin) to that list too. I think Zion Harmon (Bethune-Cookman) has got some potential while Chaunce Jenkins (16p, 4r, 3a, 5.3 FTA at ODU) brings exciting offensive juice too.
Another misinterpretation on your part.
It was a real head scratcher when they hired him.
I can’t tell if you’re serious or you’re just saying intentionally dumb stuff in response to Kobe’s dumb stuff.
Georgetown is a dumpster fire. They arent ascending
That's why "hope" is the operative word. But yah, Cooley and company underperformed in year 1 and the transfers for year 2 don't foster confidence.
As a Big East fan, which is second to being a UConn fan of course, I really would like to see Georgetown, Villanova, and St. John's to be at least perennially NCAAT teams with appearances in at least a Sweet 16 for some of them.
Here’s my problem. We had the best team in the country by far last year and the teams that were toughest and most competitive were primarily the BE teams. The NCAA selection committee rewarded the conference with 3 bids. It’s not about what happens in that single elimination playoff for those BE teams but more deserved to go.
They're still going to stink.
Without him they were gonna be bottom 2, now they'll be bottom 3. They have a terrible coach and a terrible roster
Yes they will still be lousy, but not as awful without Dixon. I think Dixon being from close to the Philly area, and having loyalties to the Nova program and Jay Wright is most likely what lead him back to Nova. It's his life, his career, and his choice, but I hate that he chose Nova and didn't decide to go somewhere else. Dixon deserves a better ending to his college basketball career.
