*Napier on Villanova’s 20 offensive rebounds: ​

“It was too much pressure put on all the big guys just to rebound. I think when you put too much on certain people, it weighs you down and they don’t play the way they can play because they’re so worried about rebounds. We want Tyler (Olander) to score and play good defense and we want him to rebound, but we kind of stressed it too much and I think it weighed him down a little bit and weighed DeAndre down a little bit.”​

Found that very interesting as I would venture to say that's a significantly different approach to how Calhoun would have assessed it.

Yeah TO is an offensive machine. No need to rebound!

Are you freaking kidding me?

Weighed him down a bit?

We have no one else to rebound coach. WTF?

 

[Fishy]

Settle down, fat man.

You'll blow an artery.

They couldn't have used a picture from the game...or even this season? I see you Lamb and Drummond in they Hyper Elite platinum unis.

I know Tyler is in over his head and probably not a BE level talent, so I try to be lenient in my criticism. He's a CT kid I like him and blah blah. But how in the world is he averaging less rebounds this year than he did last year playing behind Drummond and Oriakhi? He's the only big guy we have playing with guards and he's essentially in a 3 way tie for 5th place on the team in rebounding? He is the 5th-7th best rebounder on a team of midgets. I will continue to support him like I do every husky, but his lack of improvement is very disappointing. It's fair to say that he's actually regressed since the championship game 2 years ago.

It was Shabazz who said it, not KO, take your time and read.

Yes, he should be getting more rebounds, but when Drummond and AO were on the floor, I don't think anyone paid much attention to blocking out TO. But when he's your only big guy...

Calhoun recruited him, of course he's a BE level talent.

I suspect you're being sarcstic, but in the unlikely event that you are not: Calhoun also recruited the likes of Darius Smith, Jamaal Trice, Scottie Haralson, Ben Eaves, Rob Garrison.

If you were being sarcastic, my apologies.
