No nonsense will be so refreshing. I anticipate us running some high energy high quality team defense and pushing the ball in transition a lot. Should be fun!
I saw a practice last week and we have 2 good 6'10"post players in Johnson and DMX. Richardson at all of 7'1" is athletic and runs to court well. He towers over the rest of the team. The roster is filled with quick athletic players. There are no ponderously slow players on this team as there may have been in the past. We seem to be solid at the guard and small forward positions. Buley, the frosh from Palm Springs, can hit the 3 ball consistently and the 6'9" Frosh from Orange Lutheran is mobile and has skills.
I was impressed with Acker and the other coaches as they run a fast paced intense practice stressing offensive and defensive fundamentals. I believe we will not finish in 8th place and I see us at 5th or 4th or higher. Acker doesn't seem to be a coach who will put up with any nonsense or turmoil.I am impressed with the coaches and players to date. Of course we haven't played a game yet so time will tell.
I love it! Everyone thinks we'll be in the Big West garbage can.
My only concern is our interior game. One proven guy (Johnson) and not much depth. I think interior defense will be solid, but interior offense and rebounding is a giant ?
Guards and wings should be solid to very good. Both offense and defense. Depth a big plus.
Where we will really shine and shock is team chemistry. Especially on defense.
#8 in the BW? Ha ha bring it on
Bulletin Board material...
We are so unknown, I'm not surprised. A new coach, basically everyone is new. This is more common in today's age.
LB isn't mentioned to the second to last line. What BS.
They will be able to break into the top 5 if the coach can get them to buy into his defensive scheme. Lot of athletes on this team
The top 5 in this poll are all UCs and in the bottom 6 5 are CSUs and Hawaii.
