Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5122344, member: 1268"] To make it simple - very hard to look at 4 330KP+ plus wins at home and translate it to what a collective group of very young players are going to look like once put in the half court against men their size, on the road. Not sure people realize the level of bad of our opponents. There are 364 D1 teams on KP. We played 338, 340, 350 and 356. We played an average of like 347 out of 364. Sure we beat the snot out of them, but in ways where our size, speed, athleticism and depth overpowered them. We won’t beat teams in the top 40 that way as it’s a massive leap in quality of opponent. We’re going from bottom 10% to top 10%. I personally look for qualities that will translate to half court execution, ability to operate when the court becomes small. This whole conversation started with whom we felt most confident in right now and for me it’s players that have shown it and a guy I see as a standout physically (Reed). Rest of the guys are generally unproven in Hurley’s more intricate system. I love Liam and skies the limit but point in time I think going against dudes for the first time will be a learning curve. I think Maui is going to be a major test and don’t expect any game to be easy. Will be fun, and we’ll learn a lot. In Hurley we trust! [/QUOTE]
