Just watch each team play. Watch the offensive flow of each team. Watch how the off ball players move and are thinking ahead as to positioning. When I watch Miles team I see no real attempt to run an actual play. Just a lot of passing to end up with a marginal shot. The past two years this was so apparent with Pettaway and White it was hard to watch. Watch McDemott's team as to how they are scheming during the possession to achieve a certain outcome or shot. That tells me Miles may be entertaining at the mic but lacks actual coaching skills. Just my observations and thoughts.
Well I agree with a lot of what you say here, this year from the two games I have seen there has been a lot more movement and less hero ball. Of course we have played nobody worth anything yet, so against better competition we may revert back to the crap we don't like
Now onto the starting 5. The way Glynn W. and Tai W. run the back court is something that we haven't had is quite some time. To say otherwise means you haven't watched the product yet, or don't know what to look for.. We looked REALLY good against Sac St. for the 1st 8 minutes of the second half when Miles just played Ed Morrow, Michael Jacobson, Tai Webster, Glynn Watson and Jack McVeigh
Roby - This kid can do it all. He has NBA type abilities. Patton this and Patton that... I know they don't play the same position, but I take Roby over him if I had to choose.
He can post up
He can play point
He can shoot the 3 ball
He can dish it
He can block shots
He can dunk it from the Free throw line
The only problem is you can tell he isn't comfortable yet, and that has to do with catching up to speed
Gill - I had high expectations of him. To say he is a bust after two games after coming off a year off and a knee injury. I am going to give him a few more games to judge him
Tshimanga - you can tell he isn't ready yet, but what are you going to do. We need his height and abilities to compete. He has the potential to be great as well
Horne - When we recruited him I had him penciled in as a 4, and a undersized one at that. Instead he is a 3, that can straight up hit shots. He is a liability on defense at the moment, but will get better at that.
Taylor - Much more that I expected. He lacks at dribbling, but makes up for it with vision and defense. He also can shoot the basketball a lot better then most give him credit for.
Our starting 5 are a solid as we have ever been, and this Creighton love fest is just stupid. Are we going to beat them this year, probably not. I am just sick and tired of all the complaining. This team is head and shoulder the most athletic team we have had in quite some time.
I'm not going to post it again cause I don't feel like going back and getting the information, but "on paper" Nebraska has more talent then Creighton
4* players
Glynn Watson
Ed Morrow
Anton Gill
Jordy T. (Some Sites)
Isaiah Roby
*James Palmer... Not playing yet
Show me where Creighton is better "on paper"
Miles has recruited just fine so please STFU and let these last 2 classes show what they can do. You and the very least have to give Miles through 2017, before bringing out you torches and pitchforks! McDermott coaching style gives Miles fits, but guess what Miles coaching style gives Mich St. fits. WE ARE 2 GAMES INTO THE F****** SEASON AND EVERYONE HAS ALREADY WROTE THIS TEAM OFF.
