Title: Is oscar ruining Claws?
Post by: renocat on January 22, 2016, 10:23:55 AM
I am concerned by Claws downward development spiral.  I have never seen oscar's ability to coach big players.

No. He's got talent, but not elite talent. Most of these guys that aren't certain future pros are going to have a lull in their first season at some point. Not worried about it really.

I could be way off base in my comparos, but he reminds me a lot of a taller Jamar for some reason.

Not bad, but I think Claws will be a way better shooter. Jamar was way more athletic.

DNR thread, but the answer to OP is yes.  Claws needs development and oscar is not his guy for that.
Title: Re: Is oscar ruining Claws?
Post by: kso_FAN on January 22, 2016, 11:28:50 AM
Last year he was playing maybe 2 quarters a night while destroying 2A competition. I'm not at all surprised that he's wearing down a bit, he has never been conditioned to play like this. That's the biggest problem with coming from a small KS school, but with his talent he'll be fine.

My concern is that oscar's offense is not putting him in positions to succeed. Got to shoot to get out of a slump, but he doesn't seem to be getting the ball in a position to shoot very often at all.

How many wide open looks did he have from the high post against Baylor's zone? He took 12 shots, most on the team in that game.

No, you're right. Went back and looked at the numbers, and he's shooting plenty. I must just mentally block out his misses or something, he really hasn't seemed that involved at all to me, but he is in fact getting plenty of shots up.

He's Shawn Rhoads with a 3-point shot.

3PT shooting was the one thing Shawn Rhoads did best. Wade appears to be better at almost every other basketball related skill so far.
Title: Re: Is oscar ruining Claws?
Post by: dal9 on January 22, 2016, 02:32:51 PM
He needs to sack up a little bit, especially on Defense and the boards.  The generous interpretation is that the coaches told him to be careful about picking up fouls and he has taken it to too much to heart.

even tho he is 0fer the conference season outside of the TT game I still want oscar to run a couple of sets that get him a 3 every game.  The only chance we have of escaping low/medium status in the next 3 years is if Claws can space the floor, imo

Wade is a much better rebounder and gets to the FT line much more. Rhoads was a better shower. I think Wade had more upside.

The freshman from two years ago regressed, no doubt. But outside of that year, the only other player I would say didn't see development under oscar was Big Gipp. Part of that is on the coach, but Gipp was the type of guy who was clearly done with physical development/growth after his freshman year.

l have a cold and I am a grouchy bear.  I am most concerned about claws missing free throws.  We had the Mississippi State down by 18 and in part came back when Claws missed free throws.  Claws was mean and confident at the start.  Now he is scared.  I am not sure love butt pats from oscar is what he needs nows.

No, I tried to spot that and the 6-point possession while I was fast-forwarding through and didn't see either.  Saw a separate 6-point run though.

I'll go back for this.  Do remember if the notes were before or after?

I hear Claws is growing a beard.  Thank goodness.  Who ever made him shaved should have to have all of their body hair plucked out by a sadistic midget.  He went to hell with facial nudity.  Did hot horndog shave too.

It almost sounds like oscar can't tell him what to do anymore.

Oh whats that?  The BTF burned down and we forgot to renew the insurance in March?  Meh.  DJamer sawed his leg off last night on accident?  That's too bad.

phew, now we can build a BTF by Ahearn and play the games in there again. crazy how things work out.

Somewhere today I read Claws needs to rest to heal.  I think it was in another thread.  I thought is Occar Fud trying to ruin Claws for good.  Anybody know'anything? I.can't think Daddy Wade is too pleased with things.  Weber stays does Claws transfer?

Metatarsal injury.

That's longer bones in one's feet. Whereas metacarpals are in the hand.

Claws needs to realize that if he is on the court and is afraid to shoot or post up strong he is a hindrance to anything the others try to do.  He is sometimes like the kid that you don't guard or pay any attention to because he is no threat.  It's too bad with his skill set that he doesn't come with energy and desire to contribute more (perception, not reality on my part) every single game from the start.

I mean, if this means Sneed plays more I can't complain. But I'm torn a bit, because we were playing our best when Wade was playing well. I guess it all depends on which agenda I truly believe in at this point.

I'm confused.......Weber states today that Wade is almost 100%, so that means he is just playing awful and not really hurt? 

But puffdad says on the other site he is a lot of pain and taking pain pills?

Who to believe......... :dunno:

I know its not super nice to say,  but maybe Wade simply wasn't the dominant player many wanted to him to be in the first place.

claws didn't play for large chunks even tho he was effective and didn't have foul trouble. was this an extension of oscar's metatarsal protective services program?

This is the Wade I was hoping we'd see consistently.  He just has to be a solid presence every time he is on the floor.  I thought he had a good game.

my dad also thinks that we should avoid running offense down the stretch if we have a lead and just let deathbite bomb away at the end of the shot clock. says it avoids wtf to's and oscar effing things up.

Flush scored so many because they were gang guardin Claws.  He couldn't even scratch his butt without someone leaning against him.  So who should be taking pressure off of Deanboy?  It should be the post.  The coaches are piss poor at coaching up bigs.  Not only haven't they turned Dean into consistent Claws, they cannot get crap out of 5 post players; pitiful.  Last year when DJamer was healthy, he and Dean were good as they dang near beat the Hawks.
