We dont have a consistent number 2 scorer.

Njock is a bit of a dissapointment to me. I was expecting him to step up this year after sitting out last season. He looked great on what recruiting film we had on him. I figured he would be at least out #2 scorer.

It seems like we keep getting pretty good athletes that can't shoot FTs and are streaky scorers. Coach is good at giving us winning seasons overall and his record shows it. We he needs help with recruiting. Being on the outside im not sure exactly what the issue is, but we should be able to compete with our peers for quality recruits and we just dont seem to do it consistently. Someone mentioned he gets a lot out of a little as a coach, but it begs the question, why does he keep having to work with that?
It’s his first competition in over a year. Let’s see how he plays once he gets some court time.
Pretty sure he played in international competition this summer.

Banks was preseason 2nd team all Sun Belt, I believe. Pretty sure more was expected of him than Njock

Not sure why we travelled all the way there to play a 2:00 game on a Wednesday afternoon. Much less the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
That is ridiculous. Who scheduled this game?

Our guys were probably not too excited about this one. Not an excuse for losing though.

Spoke with a former player. The season is going as he predicted a month ago right now, which is why I curbed my enthusiasm. The injury to Vasser didn’t help either. Let’s hope they figure it out and go on a crazy run in the conference tourney. Otherwise, the team just isn’t that good.
