slu72 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Malik is talented. The problem is Dead didn't know how to coach it, ie get him under control. The way Dead coached his recruits, no apparent system and no inconsistent lineups, would have confused even the great UCLA teams of the 60's and the 70's. We'll never really know what his recruits, save for Jolly and Gilmann, could have accomplished had they had a decent HC. Not saying they would have been great or a dance team, but maybe more competitive than what we saw in those two disastrous seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBL_Bills Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Malik may have had the most raw talent, but Roby and Miles had the best attitudes by far. Roby worked his ass off and showed great leadership. Of the three, I'm happiest he's the one who stayed. TheDude likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFan Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 1 hour ago, ACE said: I don't think anybody has said they expect him to put up the numbers that he did at Samford. I would expect something between Bama and Samford. When he next suits up, he'll be three years older than when he last played at Bama. I would expect a more efficient player than he was back then. The assist and free throw shooting alone make him a great addition and even if his 3-point percentage dropped, he would still figure to be the second best threat on our roster. Agree that he would be better than Austin. No doubt. He'd be a great fit and I would expect him to start. Unfortunately this Texas visit might throw a wrench into things. Disappointing. I agree with a great fit and the Texas visit is disappointing but how do you feel about Thatch getting the open guard spot? Hopefully he likes coach Ford, the Cardinals and the cooler weather in St. Louis better than Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That concerns me as SLU really could use a couple of outside shooters. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/justin-coleman-2.html Here's a shooter for you...

Who cares if you can hit a bunch of unguarded jumpers from one spot on the floor with no clock, no game flow, and no reason to move because you've got a rebounder? That doesn't make you worthy of a Div. 1 scholarship. Let me know when they give scholarships for and sell tickets for games of H-O-R-S-E!

Only if he's doing that during the flow of a game -- playing defense, running the floor, etc. -- and actually had the skills to get to the free throw line at the high-major level. Just because someone can shoot 98% from the stripe with no pressure or stress doesn't mean he can do that in a real game. I bet that percentage would drop considerably. Does he have the talent to get to the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low release point, no vertical. CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
