Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 1998889, member: 3535"] I think it was Geno who said he wanted to see others score and not just rely on the Core 4. I think he even used the Core 4 term when he brought up that he wasn't to see more scoring from the others. My guess is Gneo ahs said in the past he had all-americans he could get the ball to when he needs baskets. I thought I heard in some of his "All Access shows" he said he's not sure if he has scorers in big games he can rely on. SO he may be concerned if a game a player ro two goes cold, he wants others than the core 4 to step up. Possibly because in the 1st two games - he firsthand experienced that he needed Saniya in one game to come up incredibly huge and Danger had to come incredibly huge in the other. In the All Access show they showed during a timeout in the Baylor game Geno ripping into Collier for not taking an open shot highlighting that she was all-world vs FSU and now because she got a shot blocked he was riding her because she was scared to shoot. He also said how he felt the team was young so maybe he is expecting - as we saw vs SMU-- some games the stars don't shoot well and he doesn't want all the other players to rest on their laurels. I thought he was asked in the latest game during the presser about how his team comes out like gangbusters and then droughts a bit. He did mention openly mention to paraphrase "well I put in the bench." I believe that gnaws at him that he has to admit it. I think it ganws at him because he doesn't 100% trust his star players though he trusts them a lot. But not as much as a prime Stewie Maya or Tina etc. Then it comes full circle. look at the 1st two games. . . then watch the all access after he has to tell Collier to shoot the ball despite prior game she was awesome.
