I think this sets us back 3-5 games, which still gets us in the tourney as a 5-6 seed, maybe higher if Mills puts on a lb or two and they teach him to RB.
This hurts us against teams like USF and Cincy that will make us hit 3’s. Probably won’t have an effect on the rest of the league games if Hinton is boss.
Armoni was the answer in a handful of critical games from outside because he was streaky. Where he helped most was grinding out games RB’ing and getting the ball to the outlet.
We have tremendous talent coming back…much of it still in development mode. Not scared…but tempering my expectations til mid season. Sampson is a master at getting his kids to play bigger than they are, but he needs time.
i just realized galen is still the only 4 year player we’ve since the 2013 class…him and chicken if we date it back to the 2011 class…and we wont have any for atleast 2 season
almost a decade and 2 players total came in as freshman and finished as seniors …crazy to think about
omg, i was literally just thinking about this last night
about how everyone even within our own fanbase have completely counted out sasser in the equation
sasser is similarly ranked to armoni (played as freshmen) and galen (starter as a freshmen) and antoine davis (did 30 at detroit)…and higher ranked than ced (who samspon said would have played big minutes as a true fresh if not for injury)
and though sasser has no national recognition, within the texas aau circiles he is probably more touted than all of those guys coming in
is he ready? with freshmen you will never know till you see them on the court
marcus body wise has enough muscle to play right away…and on paper will be the best 3pt shooter on the team…
how fast he can adapt to the defense will also play a big role
Man how far we have come. The dumpster fire he took over 5 years ago having to scramble for live bodies, to have legit, top flight talent coming in to replace legit top flight talent going out.
I am convinced we will be ranked and finish the season ranked. We will do well in conference and make the dance three years in a row.
A little bit, but I’m happy for him. Hope he got a solid promise and gets a shot. He’ll have to work hard, especially on defense, to see the court, but he could be a solid 3 and D player if he does.
Honestly, his pro prospects are at their peak right now. Might as well go for it…no telling what will happen next year.
Well, I’m disappointed he won’t be with the team next year and what it means. But I get it. While he could use one more year of polishing, his stock should be pretty high. Brooks can be similar to Dotson. He has a great set of tools and has all the makings of a 3 and D specialist.
My biggest concern for Armoni is that he’s been misled and doesn’t get drafted at all. But hopefully he’s a first-rounder or early second-round pick.
Man… But from a selfish UH fan point of view, I thought we were a legit Final Four team on paper because of our overall shooting possibilities and depth.
