1) Abdul Ado is the real deal. He is our best post player no question. Starting lineup was nice tonight with the addition of Ado and Nick Spoon.
2) Nick Spoon is All-SEC Frosh but he's got some stuff to work on with his shooting mechanics so it'll be fun to see him improve here.
3) Herard had 0 points, 1 rebound and 6 blocks. Not sure I've ever seen a stat line like that before. If he keeps getting 6 blocks a game I'll do my best to ignore how terrible his hands are. Not promising anything.
4) Holman is a much better player with Ado on the court and really has improved the most on the team so far this year. If you could put Holman's hands, passing, basketball I.Q. and aggression in Herard's body you'd have a top 15 draft pick.
5) Peters is a nice player but he's no first round draft pick this year. NBAdraftnet started with him at #11 two weeks ago and he's currently sitting at #19. Discussion needs to be happening behind closed doors on who the odd man out is next year or if it's possible for someone to take an academic scholarship. Is that possible? I am unaware of the rules here.
6) Datcher continues to look like a nice find by Howland. I am curious to see what Ado & Datcher on the court together looks like. Honestly I am curious to see what Ado paired with all of our big man looks like.
7) As soon as our guards realize all they have to do is get the ball to Ado or Holman on the block for easy assists we will be much better offensively. This should be options 1, 2 and 3 each time down the floor.
8) We can't shoot for shit. Get a shooting coach already. It's a thing. Look it up. There's guy's that make careers outta being shooting coaches. We need one of them helping our team.
9) We have 1 obvious tough game OOC at Cincinnati that is a loss. They look like a potential final four team and top 5 in the country this year. It's ok though maybe the ass kicking will do us some good. We have 3 other difficult OOC games though that we really need to sweep. It'd do wonders for our resume. Those are Dayton, Stephen F. Austin and Jacksonville St. Yea don't laugh at Jacksonville St. they are pretty dang good. They won the OVC tourney last year and look to me to be the favorite to win it this year.
10) Missing Stapleton and Eli hurt tonight but FAMU sucks so it didn't matter. Hope Stapleton can return soon. Not sure whats up with Eli but someone said he didn't play because he got a speeding ticket. No clue but hope that's just a one game discipline thing and there won't be anymore problems with him the rest of his time at MSU.
11) Singleton looks kinda alright. He might start dipping into someone's minutes soon.
12) Crowd continues to be embarrassing but it's OOC so who cares. Just fill the Hump for our 9 SEC games. Sellout 9 games. We have to win every home game in the SEC.
13) Next game is Monday night vs Green Bay. They went 18-14 last year so they aren't horrible but we should win by 15+.
