Stonehill Post Game Thread

Due to Cam’s release I thought his shot would be much slower. It’s a fast release which is great

Benigni is a senior. This was his third D1 game (and his best game to date), and i can't tell if he's ever played for any college in any division. Anyone from the E. Hampton area know his story and how he wasn't on anyone else's radar (not us, but like CCSU and the like).

He was really RINGING THE BELL today

The 4 of newton, castle, karaban and DC is elite

Offensively, sure. Defensively could be an issue. DC defensively is elite but Karaban has to prove hes gotten better and Newton can be really good in spurts then at other time seems to get a bit lost out there. Castle looks like he could be really good. But then again he just looks like he could be good at whatever he wants to do. He is quick with a lot of moves and looks like he can get to the basket at will. If his jumper starts falling, yikes!

Where will the bench scoring come from? Samson? Diarra? Its 2 games in, a lot on the frosh. I think the bench is legit concern.

This is my only real concern. The freshmen are playing like freshmen. You can tell they’re legit talents, but will they be consistent enough to be reliable against better teams? A little afraid we’re gonna see a lot of 35+ minute box scores from our starters against plus comp.

Samson, Ball, Ross, Stewart should have no problem combining for 15-20 points a game. And with our starting lineup that's all we need

I think out of that group Ball can have a floor of 6-8 followed by Samson or Stewart
 
My only concern as of now is if Clingan is in foul trouble, how will Johnson fair defensively against bigger opponents?

I think Castle will be able to be a really good defender which should help with the loss of Jackson
 
Starting lineup is legit, no question. It can be matched up with m anybody as of Nov. I don’t see 20 ppg as a given from Ball Ross Stewart. Their freshman and unknown when it comes to hostile environments, road games, foul trouble, pressure etc.

I feel like we might see Cam move to the bench just to be able to bring a scorer off the bench. Hassan start?

It comes right up on the Stonehill website. First result on google.

He went to Xavier and prepped at Hamden Hall. Been at Stonehill all 4 years.

Edit: this was his 3rd d1 game.

This isn't his 3rd D1 game--they were D1 laat year too.

He didn't play last season due to injury. So he played D2 before, but this is his 3rd D1 game.
 
Love the high skill level of this team.

Does anyone have concerns about a bit of a drop off in athletic ability? It isn't apparent on offense. But they'll have to play better team D because of the loss of Jackson and Hawkins (who was sneaky good on the defensive end).

The development of Solo Ball and either Ross or Stewart will be critical in this regard. It's a long and bruising season; can't solely rely on the big 4. I am assuming Samson and Diarra will rise to the occasion.

I agree. But you need to get scoring from somewhere. I don’t believe u need it from those 3, either…I was commenting on that point being made regarding 20ppg from them in particular.
 
The 1-3-1 today was interesting. So much length on the top with Newton amd Castle and Clingan just takes away everything in the middle.

Watching Newton, Castle, Steward and Ross reminded me a bit of those Dream Season Huskies where it seemed like Burrell, Murray, Dove and DePriest were just interchangeable parts and you also had a long PG in Tate George.

I have full confidence these Huskies are going to be a beast defensively before the season is over.

I think we could have trouble against a team with small, electric guards. But they will also have trouble with us.

That’s exactly what will end up happening. Better competition on unproven freshmen, not to mention injury and foul trouble…it’s a concern

I don’t think this will be an issue. Ball, Ross and Stewart are still learning when and where to attack in this offense. I think come BE play we’ll be able to rely on at least one of them in any given game to give us 10 points

That’s realistic. One of them, yea.
