Great more perimeter players to chuck up a shot ton of three, not rebound, and not defend the post. Just what Bama needed...
ennis whatley and bobby lee hurt both mcdonalds all-americans in the 1981 class.
Davidson was supposed to be “ something special”. Sometimes looks like he never played.
His decision making with the ball is completely baffling most of the time Smh.
Can you blame us? And it's tough to watch Oats stand on the sideline and watch this type of play, particularly on defense. Call a timeout and chew some damn ass. Geez. Reminds me of the last few years of the Mark Gottfried era.
I didn't watch the last 2 games but ended up watching the last 5-6 minutes of the UGA game. I knew I shouldn't but I did. And, I'm fairly confident the last 5-6 minutes was merely a microcosm of the first 34-35 minutes.
Kills me Oats refuses to force his guys to run sets. JD gives effort but is a TO waiting to happen. Shack is useless on defense. Q is a one man show. Every time we get down it turns into Q gets the ball and calls for a screen no ball movt. Drives to the basket with off balance shots.
Not really lol. Our 5 stars haven’t exactly lead to extreme success. I agree on the timeouts. Sometimes it’s not even about chewing ass, sometimes he needs to calm them down, refocus, and set up a play. I get sick of us just allowing a 12 point swing in the 2nd half without oats stopping play and trying to push some buttons.
I do agree with this. I have some extreme frustration with this particular team but don’t believe this is some damning evidence on Oats future here. We will be a completely different team next year and we’ll see how it goes. His system has proven to work with the right guys running it.
Losing Primo and Burnett is not the biggest issue. The bigger problem is losing the leadership and defensive intensity of Herb Jones, and not having anyone to step into that role.
Totally agree loosing veterans like Petty, Herb and Reese that had been in the program for a while didn't help either. The program is definitely on the right track though.
Thanks G.OA.T. I have been harping on the same thing. We have enough guards (actually too many) and no quality low post players who can rebound, defend the rim, and make a few baskets. Our current crop of low-post players are 50/50 when it comes to dunking the ball and rebounding is a foreign concept. Teams have been killing us on the boards and getting 2nd chance opportunities on offense. Teams have no fear of attacking our basket because there is little to no opposition.
Well, when you have seen that movie so many times, you tend to be a little skeptical that the outcome will change. With our current players, which is the real team, the ones who started the season or the ones playing now?
I got one question for ya: Are you a fan? If your response is "yes" then you are a chartered member of "the dumbest fanbase in the country!" If your response is no, then why do you care?
All of our commits signed in November. I am a little concerned that Miller could still opt for the G League. He can’t be impressed with the product Oats is putting on the floor this year.
JD played in a lower classification the game hasn’t slowed up for him yet. It will soon
