Cole and Gaff

[mauconnfan]

I have to wonder where people are getting “the offense runs better with Gaffney”? It wasn’t the case at all last night, and it wasn’t the case against Hartford.

I honestly didn’t see it last year either when everyone said we were so much better. The fact Bouk found himself and Vital finally started making shots was the main reason. And AG was better the last 7 games in his decision making and obviously a lot better than these 2 on the other end. I get he “calmed things down last year” when both CV and AG we’re struggling and when he came in he didn’t make those mistakes which was needed. But he hasn’t made plays all that much and just bouncing and passing it so far from the basket isn’t what we will need to improve offensively. For now neither are what we will need as we get into the Big East we need more from one for sure. It’s early let’s see what happens, for now Cole has the edge but it’s not a large one. The one thing I am sure of we don’t need many minutes of them together!

@XLCenterFan the problem with your take isn’t that you have been underwhelmed by his play so far it’s that you said he is only here because he played for hurley senior. That’s the awful part of the take. The kid could have went to a number of high majors including Alabama and seton hall. Hurley recruited him because he’s a good player. He will play better than he is right now.

cool. now do the part aboot our win percentage when jmoney starts or plays big minutes.
outstanding. we can't talk aboot his turnovers, cuz he has like none. also outstanding. my only real concern was cole would turn out to be al v. 2.0. he's not. he's way better. noice.
winning ain't everything, it's the only thing.

Gaffney seems more of a 2 but he doesn't look to score enough. Neither guard looks to penetrate and our offense lacks any motion other than around the perimeter. I think RJ will impress as the season progresses.

Let's have a bit more patience. USC was a much better upgrade from the prior two games and we got the W. Remember this team is steal developing and identity.
