Quentin Goodin

Hahaha yeah in hindsight I realize that sentence is a lot of ifs, I think really what I'm getting at is if his decision making improves, he has the tools. The length, the athleticism, some quickness. He was a top 100 recruit, so he's definitely got talent, all those things stem from decision making, which hopefully with less pressure to score channels him into a better all around floor general.

As my dad used to say. "I am not overweight, but i am 3 inches too short."

Separated shoulder a terrible excuse. If the shoulder was that bad then he should've sat out instead of going 2/10 from the floor every night. Q just needs to embrace his skill set and drive to the hoop.

I'd love to hear where you'd be getting the 30-35 minutes necessary to allow Q to sit out. That roster couldn't have supported his resting for several games in a row.

Sounds like: "I'm not bald, I'm just taller than my hair!"

Spot on Joel,
And impossible to replace the 149 assists with him sitting....XMann is clueless, a troll or both. Q played hurt most of the year.

(along with Naji, Tyrique and Paul’s decision making), next season’s team will be at another level altogether.

....A dependable shot from 15 foot would more valuable....

Sadly, this is a lost art in basketball today at any level.

i mean, didn't we already do that last year? q missed like 5 games and xavier won a few of those and played pretty well

Yeah that’s fair, ignore the final 11 games that turned the season around. Goodin was playing over 37 mpg during that stretch. Are you all going to argue Xavier won in spite of Q?

i'm not saying that at all, i'm just saying we did in fact find a way to cope without him for multiple games last year contrary to what joel was saying.

i'm very optimistic about q next year

Definitely everyone could improve it, I think Naji and Rique are a little bit ahead of our two guards at the moment, but I also think that's a bit easier to say when the offense doesn't run through them, as Steele said in his Q&A session he wanted Q's assist to turnover to lead the Big East, and he wanted Scruggs to be better in kick and drive situations, but didn't mention decision making for Rique and Naji, basically wants Rique to be better from the line, and be able to knock down some shots that are further than a couple feet away, etc. I think there's plenty of promise just because of the quality coming in, but again there's gonna be growing pains, I still however 100% believe anything less than an NCAA Tournament bid is a complete and utter failure with the way the off season schedule looks, and the way the Big East looks.
