Ollie Speaks

[Guapo]

@tcf15 said I should make a thread about this article, so, here it is:

Kevin Ollie Sizes Up Revamped Huskies Roster

 

[Travelman6]

Wow, kinda pumped after that!

Things are wide open aside from maybe JA, lots of minutes to be had, not much is set in stone (yet)! I hope the players work hard to get minutes! I am hoping the competition for minutes really improves everyone in the long run.

 

[WrenchFan69]

We back

 

[awfuldan]

Hell yeah, let's go! When is the first preseason game? A couple weeks? I've never been more ready!

 

[Guapo]

I don't know, it sounds to me like KO is expecting a rough early part of the season and that is our gauntlet...

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Ollie for President

Seems like Ollie is trying to temper expectations for sure. Especially with Larrier. It's gonna be hard for a lot of these dudes.

I expect them to struggle at times, for sure. But damn, I just wanna see 'em play.

He certainly is tempering expectations from my read. Early season up and downs, patience with Terry, are meant to curb excitement. Not sure how people see it otherwise.

Some answers to things. KO likes the look of AG and Jalen together. Polley is the back up to Terry. Diarra and Cobb are the early candidates for the 4 and 5. And Kwintin is young.

 

[HooperScooper]

And Kwintin is young.

A young 23 as a college sophomore! Lol

Wait I thought we confirmed that Kwintin was, in fact, old

You beat me to it...

That may be true practically, but this is a fanbase that needs to be excited again.

And on the practical side, if we struggle through another OOC schedule, that basically condemns us to irrelevance for most of the year. The program can't afford too many more years of that.

Obviously KO sees things differently than the Boneyard.

I've identified a way in which KO can improve his coaching

I'm still excited. And pragmatic. Hopefully KO is just being cautious because of what happened last season and there are a lot of new players to be integrated versus an assessment of players.

Tell chief so he can pass it along to KO.

It's really a simply fix.

We were 16-17 last year. Does he really need to temper expectation? That would require us to have a worse record than last year.

@Chief00 please tell KO.

Thank you kindly.

Interesting comment about Terry Larrier:

"Terry Larrier pretty much hasn’t played the for past two years... I really want you all to take your time with Terry. Everybody’s hyping him up. I’m not going to say he’s not a great player — he has the potential to do that — but it’s going to take a little time as he works his way back into things."

 

[MSGSeven]

KO's just being modest we're gonna come storming out of the gate

 

[David 76]

We have two players who have played together more than 3 games. Larrier hasn't played in two years.

Of course there will be bulbs in the road
