We will have to live wth his turnover but he will be able to score. We are not getting nearly enough from our big men. Groce has no margin of error for future recruits because two years from now they will have no scoring options maybe Kellogg. Jacobs, Goard Johnson and Hall will not be big factors. We need to get Baltic and Keely going if we want to win the MAC. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

I think Stevie Taylor might have something to say about there being no scorers other than Kellogg.  Back to Top crackerbaby00 General User Member Since: 3/8/2007 Post Count: 442 Status: Offline     RE: Strategy    Posted: 11/20/2011 10:43:00 PM  I will also add that a lot of people wrote off Baltic as someone who would not be an offensive weapon for us after his freshman year, but he has progressed very well. Washington was similar to Goard his freshman year, and he ended up being an offensive guy by the end of his career.  KVK also became someone that could score by the end of his career.  Lets let the young guys have some time before we earmark their roles as juniors/seniors.

Jacobs, Goard Johnson and Hall will not be big factors. You forgot about Stevie Taylor. From what I've seen so far, he will pick up the scoring slack whenever that is needed.  Back to Top RSBobcat General User Member Since: 8/22/2010 Location: Columbus, OH Post Count: 4,437 Status: Offline     RE: Strategy    Posted: 11/20/2011 11:59:59 PM  Keeley is MUCH improved this year. Baltic was unstoppable on "O" 1st half. Continued progression of course needed - but I see it happening.

I hope we can see more of that moving forward. If Baltic and Keeley are clicking, this team will be very dangerous.

We have no idea how Goard, Johnson and Hall will develop offensively down the road.  From what I've seen I wouldn't say that any of the three can't develop into a reliable offensive weapon.  Back to Top bornacatfan General User Member Since: 8/3/2006 Post Count: 5,716 Status: Offline     RE: Strategy    Posted: 11/21/2011 12:25:50 PM  OUVan wrote: allen wrote: Groce has no margin of error for future recruits because two years from now they will have no scoring options maybe Kellogg.

SOmetimes this offense puts guys in places where they have a hard time and get labelled one dimensional the way it is run. TJ is actually a more versatile scorer *IMHO* than RIc. Just has not had the opportunity to show it in this system. FOr the folks who need a comparison TJ in his element would look more like Steve Coleman than anyone else. Kellogg is a pure shooter who also has the ability to handle the ball and get to the rim. Not sure why anyone is questioning his scoring ability after the AKron Gmae last year where he showed he could score in everyway one could sit here nad think of. never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Screw that.  We will be looking at that year as a great year compared to what we have in 2018-19.  Back to Top bobcat72 General User Member Since: 7/2/2011 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 540 Status: Offline     RE: Strategy    Posted: 11/21/2011 6:27:24 PM  Really?

Lets face Hall, Johnson and Goard are role players at most. I wish them well but Johnson averaged 14 points his senior year in high school. Jacobs has played minimally and Hall is not consistent . Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

So you want them to average the same amount of ppg as Cooper and Offut combined...... that is not going to happen on a team with this much depth.  You are also asking them to grab the same number of rebounds per game as Henson and Zeller down at UNC did last year, 2 rpg more than the top two big man rebounders at UCONN last year, and 4 more RPG more than the top two rebounders at Butler last year.

Wow.  This surprises me.  I figured TJ just isn't quick enough to be an offensive threat other than an open jumper.  We need him for Rico to be a bit of a threat as we'll likely need one of them on the court for stretches for defensive reasons. Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....
