1 board Polley

Yeah. You look at Polley's boards, 3 pt shooting and Offensive rebounds UConn gave up to a D2 team and .500 looks like a tough accomplishment.

Thanks for posting.

I admire CV’s ability and dedication to rebounding, but it might be nice to see someone else lead our team in that category for a change. Maybe even a front court player?

Gaffney looked scared to take a chance in the game and often just passed the rock around the perimeter. I hope he gets comfortable and confident and creates some O. Other than that he we good on D

Swiped a nice set of floor seats in 10 row A for tonights game Huskies came out great out of the gate and sorta let St Mikes linger until end of the half. 2nd Half was ALL HUSKIES. Great overall defensive performance. Few things i liked were Akok had good defensive spacing for the most part although he got beat a few times, a a really nice block during a back-to-back block series. Sidney Wilson..... well well well I will just say he got the ball stolen from him and did not attempt to block his man and gave him a free layup. Honorable mention definetely goes to Whaley as i was really impressed with his improvement from last year. He definitely did not look lost and had some nice offensive and defensive aggressiveness, had 2-3 nice 10-15 footers as well as a nice dunk on a fast break. I know this is just a exhibition game but definitely see where the great coaching, time in the weight room and more coaching has already paid dividends.
A Ollie coached team would have had an erratic game today, OBVIOUSLY

Noticed Akok had 4 blocks. Nice to have a shot blocker again.

1 board Polley

Yeah it always puzzles me how someone that tall can’t get more rebounds especially against a small team. At least Akok had 5. Yes still think by end of the year Polley will be sixth man coming off the bench for offense. I see Bouknight replacing him eventually.

Carlton, Whaley and Sid all had 6 boards in about 10 fewer minutes than CV.

I only saw the second half, but at least in that half frontcourt rebounding was not a problem. They were clearing everything on the defensive glass with ease.

Key is to not over react. Embrace the grind and stick to talking points no matter how big or small the data set.

Good to hear, thanks. Keeps hope alive for a new leading rebounder.

I'll go back to comments I had last year.

1. Hurley can read a box score. If he thought Polley wasn't getting boards at the rate Hurley wanted, Hurley would address and make changes.
2. From what I remember seeing last year, most of the time when shots went up Polley would leak out on a wing for possible outlet pass and fast breaks.
3. Really odd a 6'9" kids doesn't get 3-4 boards just by accident.

Yes, like bring in a rebounding 4 recruit at any cost, even getting a guy to reclassify up a year.

CV six steals, Polley with five. Whaley five blocks.

CV actually was within spitting distance of a quadruple double. Really filled the stat sheet.

And there you have it.

Someone suggesting a freshman PF Springs was going to take Polley's minutes at the 2/3.

What. I said Springs was a 4. You drunk?

I hear you, but with Akok as a real shot blocking threat this year I think we’ll see this pretty often. It’ll lead to teams settling for more jumpers and long rebounds. Think Shabazz leading the 2014 team in rebounds for most of the year with Brimah as a force behind him. Team rebounding is what matters.

Not the same at all, comparing CV to Bazz is insanity.

How did Brendan Adams look? 14 pts, getting to the line for 5-5, 4 steals 4 assists seems encouraging?

 

[Psolo12]

The sane part of me says take these stats with a grain of salt because competition was awful but the not so sane part of me says who cares 40 point win

He looked pretty good. Shot well, no hesitation in his game, looked confident. Considering when everyone is healthy/active he is probably the 7th or 8th most talented player on the roster, a lot to like here off the bench and overall team depth.

Auror quotes

Yes those are my words. They look consistent to me. I'm not following you though...

You said that Hurley would do something if he wasn't happy with Polley's rebounding after watching Polley and looking at the box scores all last season.

I said that he did. That he made sure to go get a 4 man who could rebound, even getting a guy to reclass when we missed on all the rest of our big men. Implication being that Polley would not have to play the 4 anymore and that Springs could back up Akok instead of Polley getting minutes at the 4, especially during games where we were getting killed on the glass.

Then you said I said that he would take minutes from Polley at 2/3. Which I did not do, as I specifically mentioned the dude was a 4.

Of course, it's all moot because it appears Hurley was not aware that Springs would not be able to play this year when he recruited him, so we're going to get manhandled on the glass again in minutes where 2 of Carlton, Whaley, and Akok are on the bench.
