Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 5190761, member: 175"] Yeah. I know I’m being more hopeful than analytic. Every time he takes a step forward he doesn’t build off it and gives it back. Every player/situation is different, but at this time last year Creighton fans were really disappointed with Ashworth (who took the PG spot when Nemhart left and there was a big drop off). They had some of the same complaints that we have. Not cut out for the Big East. Too small. Then he had this breakthrough game just chasing Cam Spencer around screens and hitting some deep threes and he’s been a pretty solid player for them since. Now all-Big East. Can’t expect the exact scenario. Creighton kind of had to force feed him minutes last year. They didn’t have a Diarra. And he had a natural position in their system, and a defensive presence behind him to cover up his mismatches, which is important. But I’m not hoping for All-Big East, just another cog/weapon because we have been a couple short. [/QUOTE]
