i agree, spc should drop the catholic tag, became a university and increase student pop to 10k(over time) and then build a powerhouse team that eventually moves into the big east.

Good post. Agree with almost all you posted. Anyone with any basketball sense has noticed the growth of the team not only during this season but from last season. Just about everyone who attends the games has noticed this and posted as such. What has impressed me as much as the individual play has been the fact that this team plays hard. Some have dismissed that but as a coach you know that it says alot about both our players and our coaching staff.

I also agree that we are not a team of just three players and that Brandon, Akheem and Jordan bring some important pluses to the table. Don't know if you followed this board over the last year but I have been a big Akheem supporter. Aside from his defense he is a very solid player. Sure, he is not a shooter but as I've commented in the past check out his shooting percentage. It's one of the best on the team simply because he knows how to manage his game. Jordan brings so many positives not the least of which, like Akheem, is his basketball smarts. Brandon, as only a freshman has already proven he can play quite well in this league.


Not sure if we disagree on the future but I think that you will agree that we do have areas of need. We definitely need more offensive firepower and, of course, help for Ryan. Jack Hill looks like he is developing nicely but we still need that another big presence underneath. Brandon is already a 15-25 minute a game player and as his game grows can contribute even more. He's only a freshman as you imply! I also like the small team three guard offense (depending on matchups) but the truth is that we played poorly in the first half all year even when Brandon started. Still I like him on the floor as it frees up Nick to become more offensive minded. One problem I addressed in another post are the scoring problems we've had when either Wesley or Nick are being rested or in foul trouble. Ryan's recent play has taken up some of the slack but it's obvious that we are hurting when one of those two players sits. Also Ryan puts forth so much effort that he needs to rest and he is also somewhat foul prone due to his aggressive shot blocking style.


Truth is by stating that we have some holes to fill is no knock on Akheem or Jordan. Nothing wrong with a good 7 or 8 man rotation. The way I envision the future (with some luck) is that Akheem and Jordan will see significant floor time no matter what. Also have some hope for Reid as a contributor. As a coach you know that there is nothing wrong with improving what you have or assessing your needs to make the team stronger.
