Chief’s Briefs - FSU Edition

[buddy]

I think that UConn could use a big C. An inside presence. They are developing one if the weight room can add muscle. But could use one in the upcoming class. Akok, as a 6' 10 PF , may help with the front court.

I know that coaches run with different philosophies....some emphasize offenses with shooting guards and others may emphasize defense with shot blockers inside with a lot of length.

UConn and FSU are very close on class rankings so far for the 2019 class....but the recruits look different.

Of the four signed LOI's, Hamilton has signed a 7'0 240 lb and a 7'3 230 lb Center. He will recruit a big guy who may be a project.

To me, the best of both worlds is to have a couple of great outside gunners and a big in the front court.

As much as I hate to agree with you, you are correct. FSU guys looked bigger and stronger.

Seems like it's been that way for a long time. I'll never forget what Bob Hurley Sr. said at his son's introductory press conference about how weak the team looked. Hopefully Alosi works wonders with all the players that come into the program.

To beat the better teams, we need to stop beating ourselves with careless turnovers, poor open shooting and silly fouls. We really work hard and commit fouls to turn over the other team while we give them these gifts. We also bail out the other team too often with dumb fouls. Since we are less talented than these teams, we need to eliminate these mental errors so we can pull some upsets.
So far, Hurley’s sideline act has gotten us to play harder but has been unsuccessful with the refs. Not sure where these refs were from and to me the issue last night was choppiness for both teams. However, against Iowa and Arizona his style was counterproductive and he needs to adjust.

Just a thought, at Wagner and URI he
he had primarily Northeast refs, who may be more comfortable with the style?
Whatever change was made with the hook and hold rule needs to be deleted. Is it called in our games more than others or is this a national disaster?

A Chief should not be angry.

Trying to understand better - why did you think my post was angry?
It was intended to be a very analytical assessment of things. My only objective is to get better - which to me is positive.

I will say this. Missing open shots sucks. But we are running an offense that is getting open shots as compared to last year. Things are improving.
