Two thoughts:
1. If Castlin is anything like Malcom Bernard, then God blessed us.
2. While I see the logic and a certain amount of validity in analyzing a player's performance statistics from their previous team, I always can't help but think that those data points may not be relevant in a linear kind of way, as the player is stepping into a new team that will possess its own set of dynamics, etc. Yes, the league will be tougher as well, but what if these kids were the "go-to" guys on their respective squads. They would have been scouted and defended accordingly. Either way, they weren't playing with the likes of Q, Scruggs, and Marshal.
If they have the base level of skills to compete at the BE level, then it's up to Travis to coach them up and make them all gel together. I believe God blessed us with Travis, too. I believe he'll form this crew into a solid team that will have a great season. First year coaching blues be damned.

We should have hired Malcolm to speak to the team prior to FSU and maybe a clip of "We got Champions in that locker room" from Stanley at halftime.

Specifically relating to Castlin...
last year, XU players played a combined 7075 minutes. The team had 579 Assists, and 441 Turnovers.
Converting the minutes to a "per 40 as a team", the squad average 3.3 APG and 2.5 TOPG.
So, a A:TO ratio of 1:1.32.
So, this is the whole team, and I realize we kind of had a high octane offense that probably resulted in more assists due to our catch and shoot approach.
But Castlin's Assist and TOs (per 40) both seem a bit low to me, suggesting he wasnt trying to create much offense (hence low TO and Asst numbers).
Anyway, I felt like getting a better understanding of how the whole team did, and thought i'd just share it.

Not bitter, loved Mack but not one of his best efforts. I watched the game 3 times(mercifully aged out of DVR) and the missed foul shots and needless turnovers killed us. The foul shots and turnovers were early in second half and lead of 12 max could have been 18 and we would have moved on. Looking forward to seeing how X guys do in summer league and next year team. Thankful for last 4 years and 95% of colleges would trade with X. I did not sleep that night though
