First, I want to thank MTR and his quick updates over the weekend on our recruits. Anyone else concerned about THT and fouls? He seemed to be in foul trouble every game. Not being able to watch or willing to pay to watch, is it a control issue. Seemed to be offensive fouls quite a bit.
He's very aggressive, sometimes too aggressive, especially on drives to the basket. He was in foul trouble a lot - and even mentioned that in a short interview I saw somewhere but can't find now -- think it was with one of the Champaign guys. In fact in at least two games he sat out most of the first half due to fouls and he always seems to be playing with 4 in the final minutes -- if he doesn't foul out. A lot of them are charges -- he's great at drives and dishes but sometimes, he's just out of control. He knows it and said he's working on it. Nick and Mike have given him an earful every time he has to sit after charges -- and I'm sure Smith did during the hs season. Definitely think it's something that can be diminished. In some ways he's a lot like Black -- very intense and aggressive. Just have to get him to dial back a tad. Better than having to constantly getting on him to rev up a slow motor.
