Message: [QUOTE="tentoes4rings, post: 4199083, member: 754"] I think the biggest problem with the construction of this roster is Hurley and staff obviously expected last year’s versions of Polley and Whaley but they’ve both regressed greatly. He has said on multiple occasions that The Big East is very physical and not many teams rely on freshman. It they viewed at least Johnson and Diggins as projects, that means they had championship aspirations for: Sanogo Whaley Jackson Martín Cole Akok Hawkins Gaffney Gaffney, Whaley and Polley haven’t been as good or better than last year, Jackson can’t shoot and Hawkins is still developing. I think we need to temper our expectations of this group because they’re too inconsistent and too flawed as a whole. When they run well they can look almost as good as anyone in the country but when forced to slug it out in the half court, it’s an entirely different story. [/QUOTE]
