I'm not HBBIQ, but I see a lot of Jake and (gasp!) S. Collins in his game.  Not necessarily in how he produces, but in how he simply wills his team at times.  He is a treat to watch, I only hope the surrounding cast doesn't crumble around him in the next two seasons. 

I also hope he doesn't bounce.

Jake comparisons are somewhat fair because his game has similarities.

I loved the tear drop over Withey. Beautiful and amazing.

I'd love to know why he stopped with the dribble penetration in the midway through the 2nd half.  The horrid turnover didn't help his confidence getting inside.

Title: Re: BTW, you're the rough ridin' man Angel.
Post by: Powercat Posse on January 22, 2013, 11:56:31 PM
tonight was the Angel that we want to see.   He played with a TON of energy on defense and was a pest.   He only committed that one silly foul on Withey.   

Angel is now 30 asst/ 10 TO ratio in Big 12 play.   Cant ask for anything better

The one thing i would like to see is Angel hitting 3s at a better clip.   He is just 6 for his 24, and 12 for his last 48.  Thats 25%.  I dont expect him to hit 40% or anything, but he has the capability of hitting at a 35-37% clip.   He needs to really work at getting right behind the line when he shoots his 3s (a lot of his 3pt shots are 2 or 3 feet behind arc and he misses a lot of them)

Angel draws fouls, and is better at the bucket than any other player on the team. He is also the player I would want shooting a 3 with the game on the line.

I wouldn't have a problem at all with Rod taking the shot, but at the end of the game, I like the best player with the ball, rather than the best shooter. I love Rod, but I think Angel is quickly solidifying himself as our best player.

I am not convinced that we make the tourney next yr.  Not without some surprisingly good play from a new guy or two.

Losing JO, Rod, and Tay will be disastrous leaving Gip with Diaz as his only sub.  Yes we will have Shane and Angel, and I do think Angel is going to be a fine primary option, but the supporting cast is thin at very best.

If some of the recruits don't make an immediate impact, we will have some substantial growing pains.

Also, if you hate Will this year, just wait until next yr.

I think Gip has shown a lot of improvement over last year, and I'm actually pretty excited to see what he looks like next year. I'm also not quite ready to give up on Diaz, who has the raw skillset to be a pretty good player. I agree that we really need to recruit a guard who can make an immediate impact. Also, there is no way I could possibly hate Will more than I do right now, regardless of what happens next year. There just isn't enough hate inside of me.

Will is going to be more of a main option next year with out rodney.  Just wait.  You will hate him more.

Also, I love Gip and his improvement is fantastic, but even if he makes an equal jump again next year, he will still be a 5 that has the height of a 4 and no jumping ability.  He is always going to be the big guy that has to create space for himself.  Unless you have other pieces around that guy, it is hard to make that work at the level you need it to in order to win a bunch of games.  Also, that type of player is prone to foul troubs and Diaz is our back up.

I think he's better at all of the things you listed.  His FTr is way down but I think that's because he isn't asked to get to the rim as much as he was last season, also one of the reasons that his TOr is better.

I am not convinced that we make the tourney next yr.  Not without some surprisingly good play from a new guy or two.

Losing JO, Rod, and Tay will be disastrous leaving Gip with Diaz as his only sub.  Yes we will have Shane and Angel, and I do think Angel is going to be a fine primary option, but the supporting cast is thin at very best.

If some of the recruits don't make an immediate impact, we will have some substantial growing pains.

Also, if you hate Will this year, just wait until next yr.

Foster will make an immediate impact. I just hope that Weber has the balls to start him over Will.

Will Foster do the little things and be a coach on the floor?

Yep, that's right. ... this ship is will's to crash into whatever rocks he so chooses.

Weber is the captain of the ship. If he chooses to put Will behind the wheel, it's still Weber's fault when the ship is on the ocean floor. We will have a roster next year that should be a tournament team.

I don't see the scoring options to be one NK.  Next year, unless frosh explode, we will be a grind it out team or we will be a small ball three live/die team. 

Consistency will be an issue.

I'm less concerned about next year than I was prior to the season.  We are relying on JHR less than I expected, while Shane and Nino have give us more.  I think Foster can have an impact on the scoring even if he doesn't take Will's spot.  He will get Irvings minutes and score much more than Irving with those.  Similar to how Pullen is was the third guard, but the high scoring guard and also the third leading scorer as a freshman.  I think we're good if: Angel is Angel.  Southwells emergence is a trend, not an anomaly. We get decent development from our bigs.  Foster is able to give an instant scoring boost.

Good post.  We should have an 08/09 season at worst.

Nino has no showed since OSU. We still rely on JO a lot to have a non gip big in the game without putting a target on the paint for the other team.

I am not sold on shane and angel getting us there themselves.

Angel, Foster, Shane, Nino, Gip

Not a terrible lineup, especially with DJamer splitting minutes with Gip. Will probably finish 4th/5th in the Big 12.
