Message: [QUOTE="Boost'ED, post: 5114290, member: 10928"] New Hampshire clearly had a game plan of trying to take our guards off the dribble and (at worst) draw fouls, which the referees clearly obliged. We made adjustments and slowly stifled them. Some observations: 1. McNeeley's rebounding is a huge surprise; he clearly has no problem mixing it up inside. Tough and mature; no wonder Hurley pounced on him when he decommitted from Indiana. 2. Reed Jr. is much better than I expected. Obviously he's been much bigger and stronger than any frontcourt player we've played so far, but the talent is apparent. Another offseason with our staff to hone his skills and conditioning (I think he could lose another 10-15 pounds) will do wonders. From his excellent free throw shooting form, I think he can develop some perimeter game. 3. Mahaney and Stewart have both started slow. With Mahaney it's understandable, being in a new system, so I expect him to ease into the flow. Stewart looks a bit out of sorts, as his fit in our offense isn't yet defined. He's not a consistent enough shooter to constantly fade to the there point line, but maybe he play in the dunker's spot along the baseline? 4. Freshman: Nowell and Abraham look like players. 5. Jayden Ross, what a surprise! Showed explosiveness which we were never told about! Kudos to him and the staff for improving his skill and confidence. 6. As others have noted, Solo needs to diversify his offense, which will lead him to better three point looks. This season will be fun watching so many players that can contribute. [/QUOTE]
