[QUOTE="SescIllini, post: 1276628, member: 603681"] Quick Points 1. Groce inability to recruit a PG prior to TJL is well known. But how about his inability to land that 6-10+ rim protector/quick leaper. Mav had a hard time getting around their big and he limited our drives. 2. Black is looking more like a small PF or just another wing. He just hasn't physically developed to mix it up with the true bigs. If he can develop into a Roger Powell type PF we might be OK, but he isn't a true big (see above). 3. Don't blame Hill, just like Deon decades before him. Hill didn't have the PG and Big to help him out. Hill has been great for the program hope he comes back one day to be involved with the team or university 4. One of the last Groce hold-outs but he is outclassed by pretty much every BIG coach. Saw some nice things today, but these nice things need to be par for the course and not just glimpses. 5. If there is a stat on heart and motor, TJL and Kipper would be near the top. Need to keep these two with the program and developing. 6. Defensive intensity was not the same as it was for NU. 7. A culture of not being bench for mistakes is ingrained on this team. Have seen it from pre-season of season 1 (bad shots were allowed constantly). The new coach will end this, the PSU coach went livid on they fouled late in though the game was in hand. Losing at every level will have to be removed for the program to go forward. [/QUOTE]
