Look at Schertz's other two years at ISU. It was different.

And he ended up at 36%. It happens. If half our shots are from behind the arc, I'd like another proven shooter on the roster.

I'm looking at actual production, not extrapolated production. Besides Avila, Jimerson and Swope, minutes per player for next season are wild guesses. Those three will have high usage. I would like to see more proven rebounders on the roster. Maybe that's just me. (BTW, I'm a huge fan of Thames. I'm certainly hoping he has a stellar season.) I'll also state that with 1/2 shots behind the arc, rebounds are less predictive. Missed three pointers typically aren't rebounded right at the rim.

Good question. I'm looking at last season. That's a pretty good sample size for me. I don't look at HS stats either.

Rebounders, Shooters and Rim Defenders/Shot Blockers ISU took 50% of their FGA behind the arc. On the roster today we have four 36% three point shooters and one 39% shooter. Need another high 30's / low 40's. With today's roster, I'm not seeing where the boards are coming from. Avila 6.6 and Thames 3.7 lead the pack. It would be nice to have someone who could average 8 or so. The 45 total blocks last season from our current roster isn't enough. Last season the Bills had 101 blocks, which wasn't sufficient. Neither Thames (4) nor Hughes (3) showed much blocking the rim. Avila had 24 blocks, Jimerson 7, Casey 6, Swope 1 and Dotzler 0.

Hunter didn't play last season. Broke his foot in October. He was in the portal last season (before his injury) committed to Butler and then reneged and stayed at Central Ark.

In an early interview with Bernie, Coach said he can adapt his style to the player on the roster. He mentioned a starter at LMU, Emanual Terry who had a cup of coffee in the NBA, but he couldn't shoot or pass, but was a runner and a great rim protector and defender.

Turnbull was recruited to Butler by the now Evansville Coach Ragland. Hence the connection to the Aces.

OT. Spent some time in Omaha earlier this month. That’s a very nice city. The zoo is top notch but very expensive. The soccer stadium, Schwab Field and CHI Health Arena are impressive. Walking across the MO River on the pedestrian bridge was a must do.

If you don’t care about his performance at Creighton, that’s fine. One or two may care about what he did last season. He pretty much has a clean slate coming here. But thanks for your thoughtful feedback.

I don’t know anything about Dotzler but I did look at his stats. He only got 77 minutes total last year, 28 min against Big East opponents. That’s not much exposure. He made 3 of 11 three pointers. He had 3 assists total. Let’s see what he does next season.

Both Camren and Cameron sat out last season with injuries.
