There's no chance Kunkel can be as awful as Carter. Carter being gone is my favorite thing about this year's roster.

Hey, these guys are pros now. We can disparage to our heart's content! I'm sure Jason Carter is a very nice person and will sell the hell out of some insurance someday!

[QUOTE=MHettel;709498]As for SteeleÂ’s first two years, the roster was shallow of offensive talent (partly his fault for the transfers he ultimately chose to bring in, but alas his hands were pretty tied from Mack having completely whiffed on an entire recruiting class). ItÂ’s hard to implement the scheme you talked about when you donÂ’t even have the shooters to keep the defense honest (two years of Quentin Goodin and Naji Marshall on the perimeter). Could Steele have done something different with those teams? Yes, IÂ’m not totally absolving him. Watching some of the long shots Quentin and Naji would hoist up made my blood boil, as IÂ’m sure it with many others.
Now as for last years team, I have some stats for you:
11 games: 76.7 ppg | 46% FG | 35% 3FG
9 games: 69.7 ppg | 43% FG% | 29% 3FG
Can you guess which stats belong to the Xavier team before there was a month long period where they only played one game, and which stats belong to the Xavier team that played after that middle of the season interruption?
Btw I didnÂ’t even include that 101 point game vs Oakland in the first line of statistics. You say Steele does scheme well with the personnel he has, I say letÂ’s see what this yearÂ’s team does without brutally long covid pauses that interrupt the entire flow of the team.
I suppose Xavier could go 5-0 to start the season, which would include a win over OSU, but if theyÂ’re not getting to the foul line as much as youÂ’d like, you would determine Steele isnÂ’t evolving as a coach? IÂ’m personally interested to see, you know, how the season ends.. which is where SteeleÂ’s teams have not played well the last couple seasons.
Your last couple paragraphs are absolutely true and very well written. Agree 100%. This year is definitely SteeleÂ’s make or break. He cannot make the same mistakes with lineups that have cost us games the last couple years. Only thing I would say to you is, donÂ’t worry if the style of offense isnÂ’t what you think it should be. I think this team has shown it can shoot well, and will have an improvement in that facet this year (better than any team SteeleÂ’s coached). We will see

I don't know why but each of the past 2 seasons X (and Steele) had 2 starters (Q and Carter) who were serviceable for 10 games and literally seemed to forget how to play the last 10. I heard about shoulder with Q and ankle(with Carter) but no confirmation. Tandy started the last few games for Q in 19-20 and Wilcher only 1 game in 2021. Last year with Nate and Stanley out there maybe was not a replacement(although I don't see how Griffin or even Ramsey could have been worse). I was befuddled both years as it was clear we were not getting starter's production from starters. This year with so many players we may have an opposite problem. Good luck X. I still say Gillespie MSG flop cost us 20 w and NCAA in 19 and Baldwin dagger cost us 20 and NCAA in 20(no tournament) . Last year not even close (despite the last 4 in dream until the end.) Let's pray
