Talent Observations

Posted: 2/12/2012 8:55:36 AM

After last nights game I looked over some stats and compared this years players & team to last years.
Here are my findings:
1) Cooper's individual stats are down FG%, 3PT%, FT%, Rebounds, Assists, and consequestly scoring.
2) Baltic stats not as bad only FG%, FT%, Rebounds are down scoring is equal
3) Kellogg no real changes
4) Keely FG% up, FT% down, scoring up
5) All other returning players basically unchanged year over year.
6) New players, Offutt has basically offset the stats of Freeman, Smith's output lags those of Washington.
To summarize:
1) With the exception of Keely all returning players have not improved.
2) Cooper our #1 player has regressed.
3) Smith has not contibuted enough to offset the loss of Washington
Having said all this we need to make some moves for next year ie recruiting.
1) Belton is gone
2) Add some scholarships in place of walk ons, is our penalty time over after this year?
3) Need a legit big man, Keely is not starter material and Jacobs is a stiff. If possible I would jetison Jacobs like we did Bota a few years ago. Add a JC guy and a freshman.
4) We need to prepare for the 5 losses after next year or else we will be rebuilding not reloading.

Kellogg
Smith

The above mentioned group "currently" are ALL scoring challenged.

I would argue against calling this whole group scoring challenged. I would agree if the statement is "have trouble creating their own scoring chances" with the exception of Stevie Taylor.
