Good points Oldfox regarding the fundy's. Casiem should be a better rebounder than anyone on this current squad. Rebounding is supposed to be his biggest strength.

I do not know the FT shooting numbers of the newcomers. The three worst offenders on this team shouldn't see much time next year in Goodwin, Williams and Parris. Those three are 57-120 in MAAC games this year...that's 48% and that is unacceptable in 8th grade basketball. I would hope the newcomers are much better than that.

As for the turnover's I think as more versatile players join the team next year the turnovers will go down. I think we turn it over so much because we have too many one trick ponies like I was writing about above. When defenses play us tight we don't have enough guys who can pick up the dribble and create a shot out of it. When the defense smothers us we usually resort to dangerous passes or out of control dribbling in an effort to get out of the trap.

Of course sometimes when you bring in more young athletic guys that breeds more turnovers because they push the issue too much. If that turns out to be the case I'd rather have those kinds of turnovers once in awhile than the panic induced ones we have seen this year.

To follow up more on the Kaba-Louis stuff, I agree Louis' injury killed us last year. Who knows how far we could've gone if he was healthy all year long. Kaba should be able to put up big points at this level for next year's team. Aside from his athleticism and shooting ability, his scouting report says he plays a physical game and is a good defender. Out of school (according to scout and rivals) he was offered by Boston College, USC, Pittsburgh and Richmond and he drew interest from St. John's, Villanova, Rutgers, Providence, Purdue, Old Dominion, Arizona State and Baylor.
