Hurley on Ross

[navery12]

So I got a Storrs Central subscription and is the message board active? Or is it mostly just the content that you get with the subscription.

It's not super active like here, you'll get maybe 5-10 messages a day in the general basketball chat and maybe 20-30 on a game day.

But come portal season and eventually HS recruit visit and commit season it'll be super active in the recruiting thread and the staff will have a ton of useful nuggets

Less active than this one, but the General Men's Basketball and MBB Recruiting Thread are active. In the summer/portal season, the recruiting one will be very active and have newsworthy insight originating there (though some filters out).

Listening to this one might conclude that he is out of his mind given how badly Ross has played in the games in which he has appeared.

Can someone actually describe the mistakes Ross has made in his last few games?

Especially since Marquetye?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Your act gets tired after awhile…

It's not an act; he's throwing crap at the wall to see if anything sticks and doesn't recognize that it sticks to him when he does it. He'd rather laugh at your comment than sniff his fingers... or admit that he likes to lick them.

We need Kwintin Wiiliams!

You need institutionalization

He doesn’t do one thing well on offense, he is erratic and nervous on defense, and he doesn’t rebound particularly well.

You can tell all that after 3-5 minutes?

It's almost like Hurley is throwing crap against the wall and hoping something clicks

What a quote, guess Ross is gonna see more time moving forward.

But why? He brings next to nothing on the court on both sides of the ball. He needs to go down a level in basketball. He has energy but not much skill.

He is a horrible shooter, not a good passer, and isn't a great dribbler. What does he do well? Energy?

Pretty much this. He has no idea how to solve the issues.

Where are yall getting that he’s not a good passer or great dribbler from?

It doesn't seem that weird for me that Hurley would be looking for more minutes for a high effort low usage guy, which is what Ross is at this point.

Look at the Marquette game. Ross 100% contributed to us winning it, and no box score is going to tell me differently. Stewart had a better box score in that one but turned the ball over 6 times and made himself unplayable. Meanwhile Ross was bringing the ball up the court for parts of the game and only turned it over once, and was defending Kam Jones.

I'm disappointed he hasn't shown a little more offensively too, but there are some crazy and disrespectful takes in this thread in my opinion.

The Marquette game was the one time he played well all season. He was great on defense that game. He was the only guy who could defend Cam Jones. I think his defense has improved. It’s just his offense that is the problem.

Reading between the lines, the quote is partly about Ross and partly about other guys who he wants to follow Ross’ lead if they want their playing time to increase.

Yup, Ross is essentially last in the depth chart of the guys who actually see the court. It seems to me that he’s just trying whatever he can to push some buttons, and actually speaking to the players ahead of Ross. Possibly even everyone (with an exception or two) but more likely the guys just ahead of him. We will go nowhere if we keep getting little or nothing from Stewart, Nowell and Mahaney.
