Title: Keys to next season
Post by: BW on March 17, 2012, 04:23:25 PM
1. Will getting outside shooting touch back. Need to have someone that can knock that shot down. Leave the penetrating to Rod and A-Rod.

2. One of the bigs, either Gipson or Diaz developing a consistant face up game. Need to knock down 6-8 ft shots.

3. Shane just becoming "something." Just needs to be servicable at defending or rebounding.

This team will be deep and experienced up front. Guards should grow in the off season. Could be the surprise team, KU will be good, but depending on Texas and Baylor defections and Royce we could be 2/3 in preseason.

1) Ojeleye is gone...Frank needs to not replace his wasted minutes with Omari or some other waste that is a 'good practicer'

2) Land a rough ridin' Shooting Guard in recruiting. If Spradling is a 20-25 minute player instead of 30-35 minute player, that is a good thing. Or allow JJ the opportunity to develop into that player his last year.

3) Robert Upshaw needs to be better...a LOT better than Gipson was this year.

4) JO needs to play 25 games like the last 5

5) McGruder needs to stay healthy

6) Angel needs to not have a Spradling esque sophomore slump.

7) Gipson needs to drop 20 lb & add 2" to his vertical

8) Positive minutes from Watson as a more 'true' 4 man would be big (getting him a medical redshirt would be nice too)

9) Seeing the improvement we saw from JO in Diaz would be a bonus.

10) Don't suspend anybody in March

1) miminal defections
2) typical improvement from returning players

those two things happen and we will be pretty fuckin salty.

Rod needs to drive more/draw contact on these and get to the line.  It seems like he knows this though and knowing is half the battle.

JO play a whole season as consistently as he's finished his last two.

Everybody but Rod has to improve in transition.

I like this, and it's a completely rational expectation,  :emawkid:  :driving:  :cheers:

1.) Players continue to eat steel and drink fire with Greenawalt in the offseason.
2.) Unleash said steel and fire upon our opponents.

Anyone who thinks Frank shouldn't be our coach should just die.

I would really like to have someone other than rod and angel be able to create their own shot.
