Message: [QUOTE="rip7774, post: 3899906, member: 320"] Probably watched 1/2 of URI games as we knew one of their star players. [B][U]Couple Points:[/U][/B] 1) URI was a dumpster fire, a zillion transfers in but had injuries and looked like a team without a strong culture. Very talented group on paper, lot of 4-stars, with no thought of roster composition I’d say. Many times, Cox reminded me of Ollie in his reactions And program spiral. 2) Fatts had a pretty significant ankle injury where he missed games and had to leave other games due to pain this year. For a small, quick player that’s really a Death knell for effectiveness. I don’t think he ever got to 100%. 3) As a junior, he couldn’t have reminded me much more of Ryan Boatright-lite. Respectable 36% from deep, and could get by anyone, anywhere. Unlike Al, he can finish at the rim. Gets to line a lot. He was different, bc healthy. I often wonder how we’ll create offense without Bouk or quick guards, to me Fatts is part of the solution or a player like him, but players like junior year Fatts (healthy) are rare. I think Gaffney and Cole are both more effective off ball (no question on Gaffney). Give me Fatts to help create, a pure shooter at 2/3 and a beefy 4/5 with some scoring ability. [/QUOTE]
