Title: Fostering Future Hope; ORU ADV

1st   Pace   PPP   eFG%   TO%   OR%   FTR

Foster will have to carry this team, unless Shane surprises me and shows he can play as a leader. Or play as he considers himself, "the best player on the team."

Will is going to play, and if that must happen the biggest key to this team is a decent amount of solid minutes from Johnson at PG. Will helps much more playing off the ball.

DJamer is a surprise, it will be nice to get Gip back. I mean, Jack...

Nino was much more like the Nino I remember from last year.

Very little intensity.

Foster is good but will get eaten alive if he is the other teams primary focus come conf time.  We are going to have to grow by leaps and bounds to not finish bottom three in conf.

Foster is very smooth.  Definitely a future All conference guy. His turnovers were a little alarming.

There's some talent but this year really does remind me of Wooly.  We have no identity or ability to assert one.  When we play the good teams on our schedule they'll dictate everything and only horrible performances by the other team (a la @KU 06) will yield wins.  Sys said 17 wins in chat.  That seems about right, maybe even generous.

Seems like of our TOs were self inflicted and can be cleaned up. 

The new "every time the guy with the ball runs into someone its a foul on the guy who got run into" does not seem to lend itself well to this team.  Neither does the associated increase in ftr for the game.

Post by: Powercat Posse on November 13, 2013, 10:58:11 PM
First 9 minutes = 1-8FG, 4 TOs, 4 pts
**  Very hard to watch the beginning of this game. Very hard

Middle 20 minutes = 19-28FG, 3 TOs, 50 pts
**  This 20 minute stretch, those are very good numbers for last year's team vs a team like ORU

Final 11 minutes = 3-10FG, 5 TOs, 17 pts.
** Went into a funk after Shane hit his 3 (5 pts in 7 minutes). Foster hit 3 and had dunk and we hit 7/10 FTs to close it out

When Jevon because eligible he will push will to the 2.

1. Jevon
2. Will <--- a better position for him (The best thing he does is being a ball mover)
3. Marcus
4. Shane <--- a better position for him
5. Gip

Jevon will mostly like be guarded by the opposing teams best defender.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it.

Then DJamer and Westicles first off the bench. Johnson will probably be in the mix as well because it will take Thomas some time to get acclimated.

Again, until Thomas is available I think Johnson is a pretty key player for this team. Last night's run started mainly because Foster started going off, but it also coincided with Johnson coming in to play PG.

Yeah. I wish we had another legitimate 3 so foster could stick to the two and Westicles could be our 3. Will should be off the bench with the above others in the line up.

Will has been completely shut down with the exception of free throws for two games against extremely low competition.  Anyone believing that he can contribute anything much more than that one walk on, who's name starts with an R that I refuse to learn, is crazy.  Will grew up under a tyrant.  Will started play in college under a tyrant.  Ppl that are used to being functional under a tyrant don't know what to do with themselves when the tyrant is removed.  Especially not one or two years removed.

His career is over.  Unfortunately for all of us, and anyone who holds Purple Cat U dear, he just doesn't know it yet.

I meant that he doesn't seem to even try to get a shot.  Everyone wants this guy as our shooting guard but he doesn't even look for baskets.  He some how thinks that if he just dribbles 1/4 of the way in and hooks out and passes it to the first guy on the perimeter that is near him, that he is doing well.  I am all for penetration, but he doesn't hardly think of daring to create anything inside off of said penetration.  Also, anyone we play, basically at any time they want, will be able to keep him from getting penetration.

If I was an opposing team, I would treat Will like some teams treated Dom his last year.  Sag off him half way to the basket and basically play 1 man zone while the other four guys guarded the rest of the team.  I would gladly let Will have at it to try to beat my team while I did my best to control literally everyone else that could possibly be substituted in at any other position for KSU.

He contributed versus Florida last season.  Many a gE face was mushed that night.  You're just begging for him to mush mush mush you right up CNS.  He's going to push into your face solidly with a good depth and then drag his hand down it just a tad above slowly is my guess.

True, he played solid most of the Big 12 last year really.

Will is just the type of player that when he plays well you really don't (or shouldn't) notice him, but when he struggles it stands out. What fans need is games where Will isn't really noticed because he does simple things; solid defense, hits open shots, moves the ball, and gets a few assists. Plus the players around him have to play well because he's not going to carry a team like Rodney or Jake. The problem is he's now a SR and after being pretty much the same player his first 3 years (and not becoming a great shooter) there are expectations for him to be more than that. Regardless, coaches seem trust him immensely (both Frank and oscar) and he's going to play 25-30 minutes per game, to me as a Cat fan that's just the reality of the Will situation.

so if senior will, after two years of no frank and nothing but oscar, oscar, oscar, is no better than sophomore will under frank then just what in the world does that mean?

shouldn't he blossom under a better coach that doesn't pressure him and makes him feel more comfortable and as a senior?

koug deserves credit for being one of the only (maybe the only) true #BIDers on gE (or anywhere). At least the most outspoken and consistent.

Any success for this team does the #BID movement no good whatsoever. Even worse if Foster is our best player, and really bad if Foster and Thomas are the two best players. Its plausible that 3 or 4 of the 5 best players on this team will be Weber recruits which pretty much destroys any sort of quick turnaround, barring some sort of Weber scandal. If this team even makes the NIT with Weber recruits being the majority of the  better players, K-State is likely looking at 3 more years of #bruceketball at a minimum.

according to every anti-frankite out there, frank ruined will by looking at him angrily and saying mean things.

so if senior will, after two years of no frank and nothing but oscar, oscar, oscar, is no better than sophomore will under frank then just what in the world does that mean?

shouldn't he blossom under a better coach that doesn't pressure him and makes him feel more comfortable and as a senior?
I don't think will was ever going to be a good b12 player but there's no doubt that he lost any confidence he had while playing for frank,  not everyone can recover that.  will hasn't

Regardless, coaches seem trust him immensely (both Frank and oscar) and he's going to play 25-30 minutes per game, to me as a Cat fan that's just the reality of the Will situation.

Replace "both Frank and oscar" and "Will situation" with "Snyder" and "Coffman", and I feel like I'm in a time warp.

but if he is two years removed from frank and he is a senior and he is still no better than he was as a sophomore under frank, then maybe frank wasn't really that bad afterall at the whole coaching thing? possible.

i think some people thought he would sail and start poppin and boppin without frank beating him down. he hasn't. too early this year to really tell, but it looks like he might have regressed. maybe he really did need frank or his dad yelling at him after all. some people just aren't tough enough to do it on their own.

K-State is likely looking at 3 more years of #bruceketball at a minimum.

weber is going to retire here.  i've assumed that since the day he was hired.

Guys if we are not going to be any good I just want to play DOB type players to at least make this year not a total waste

This year is a waste if we even sniff .500+.

koug deserves credit for being one of the only (maybe the only) true #BIDers on gE (or anywhere). At least the most outspoken and consistent.

Any success for this team does the #BID movement no good whatsoever. Even worse if Foster is our best player, and really bad if Foster and Thomas are the two best players. Its plausible that 3 or 4 of the 5 best players on this team will be Weber recruits which pretty much destroys any sort of quick turnaround, barring some sort of Weber scandal. If this team even makes the NIT with Weber recruits being the majority of the  better players, K-State is likely looking at 3 more years of #bruceketball at a minimum.
