Added a few players today that we are showing interest in.
Clary should give us more offense than Shak so that's a plus, but Shak has more size and would actually play solid defense on the perimeter. I watched a Penn State podcast about Clary after we picked him up and the hosts were saying his offense is good but he played no defense. With Clary and Hubbard in the back court together we have a chance to be explosive offensively but very limited defensively.
I felt Shak always had another level to give but never got there.
I'm not disagreeing with you, I would too but there comes a time during games where you simply have to get stops and having two gaurds in the backcourt that are both less than 6 ft tall puts you at a huge disadvantage on the perimeter defensively. I'm not one of those guys to think that defense wins Championships, especially in college basketball because at the end of the day you have to go get buckets. But there are stretches in games that you have to really lock in on defense and get some stops and that's where we will be limited on the perimeter. As I've said numerous times I like the pickup of Clary alot... just voicing my concerns
Mady sissoko from Michigan st would be a nice big man target. Comes from a defense first school and defense is what we need most down low
Shak in the portal.
According to Robbie, State is very close to announcing some portal news.
You have to put more emphasis on offense. Its really hard to play top notch defense these days because of all the rule changes to aid the offensive player. Nobody really holds teams down defensively like they used to. Its still important but you really can't use a guy any more that is just a defensive specialist while being a total liability on offense.
Alijah Martin (FAU) is in the portal with a do not contact. Anyone know where he's going?
With Jans being reported to leave for AR, how does that change the portal effort? We need a replacement for Jans quickly!!
