Message: [QUOTE="Deleted at users request, post: 4806295"] I’m responding to this because it seems like genuine confusion. Points: - Offensive development =\ shooting 3s. Teach these guys, especially Solo, other offensive skills. That’s all I’ve seen from Hurley so far offensively. Of course he’s a master defensive coach, that goes without saying. - Have a better plan for freshmen to contribute coming in. Calhoun and Ollie turned guys like Beverly, Austrie, Amida, Olander into guys with very firm roles that made sense their freshman years who are way less talented than the guys Hurley brings in. Solo should be getting reps as a backup PG if that’s what he’ll be in the future. Not as a 3 and D guy. You have to trust a freshman PG for that to happen though. If Beverly and Austrie could do it, I don’t see any reason Solo can’t. - Yelling =\ negativity, Calhoun for sure trusted his freshmen guys more than Hurley does. The proof is how the guys who ended up being successful here all positively contributed their first year, even the examples above. Outside of a few names from the 90s. Maybe the transfer portal did change how freshmen are seen nowadays, but damn I miss enjoying just how well prepared and confident our freshmen always seemed to be under Calhoun. And no, I’m not worried about these guys down the road. I trust that when they have real roles that make sense and our given the leash upperclassmen are they will be fine. [/QUOTE]
