One big takeaway from Maui

[superjohn]

We all saw how special Jalen Adams can be. Kid has a serious amount of talent, the rest of the guys just can't keep up with him. Devastated by Alterique's injury but the thought of them sharing the backcourt next year has me salivating. This year is a mess but with the learning our young guys will have under fire and a healthy squad next season there is zero excuse that we shouldn't have a terrific year. If Ollie doesn't go places with next year's squad then he is on the hot seat.

Yeah I think this is an accurate post.

I didn't use my reward points to go to Hawaii.

I love watching Jalen show out like this. I will just have a hard time blocking out the nightmare scenario when he is carrying around a 23 ppg scoring average throughout the season.

Right now, Jalen has that aura where it feels like every shot is going in.

if only adams had a guy who could screen for him, kid can really get to the rim.

We know his shooting and decision making will determine whether he can be a player in the league but don't ya think his finishing is already a plus at the next level? So damn crafty and such good body control.

As much as it sucks losing 2 of 3 is Maui and starting 2-4, there were a lot of positives over the last 4 games. Guys are starting to gel and improvements are being made. We have started to score better. JA has stepped up as the man. AB started staying out of major foul trouble. RP has started making shots. The freshmen and getting more and more acclimated.

A long season ahead of us. Hopefully we can get to a place where we don't need the AAC tourney to get in the big dance, but even if we do, the team will be a lot better then than they are right now and playing at home. Will be a lot of head shaking growth this year, but hopefully we continue to see progress. Add in Gilbert maybe coming back(fingers crossed) and I think there is still optimism for the post season.
