The hit rate on second contracts with the same team after you get out of the lottery and even at the end of it is really nuts.

Like way lower than you would think.

At this point, I can’t imagine Cenac or Flemings returning next year. They have too much talent.

This is the result of UH’s success in recruiting one-and-done talent. You must replace them every year. That is why you need a mix of 4 and 5 stars. Miller, McCarty, and Jackson are not one-and-dones, and will benefit from being in the program longer, enhancing their draft value.

He imposes himself inside? He will be in the top five. That is what I am looking for. I think we have seen very little of what he can do inside. He is at .6 block per game.

Coach has already got Kingston and Cenacs replacements lined up. Bigger issue is that on top of those two we’re going to be losing two more senior guards and possibly Tugler as well.

Speaking of Jefferson where has he been. Every game I check he is tabbed as “undisclosed”

We will 100% go to the portal for experienced guards next season. No doubt

68

Depends on who we sign next year and who comes back. Harwell, Alonzi, Holt and McCarty, Jackson and Miller would be a pretty good starting point

Yes 
the world famous Hakeem “Dip Donk”.
Go Coogs !

I don’t think we are bringing in Alozi to start. He was recruited to play behind KF for a season. If it’s not KF I think it will be someone else.

At this point, Cenac has demonstrated he has an outside shot. I want to see more strength under the basket on offense and especially defense. He also needs to work on cutting down his fouls.

Bumping this thread.

@rtcoog can we get the other thread merged?

73

Since Kingston Flemings has his own thread, I thought I’d start one about Cenac.

I absolutely love this freshman. He has shown some great flashes.

I have seen a lot of comments about how he doesn’t play strong inside. One poster even called him a prima donna.

CKS has always said everybody has a role. Could it be that Cenac’s role is to not bang inside, but instead to stretch the floor and create spacing? Has anybody asked CKS? Asking for a friend.

My prediction: he won’t leave after this year. It’ll be bookmarked because it’s the 2nd post on the thread.

Its still early. And freshman will have their slumps.

But his play, has certainly not helped his draft stock.

People know he can shoot jumpers. What else can you do?

In terms of “role”, when this team is missing jumpers/3pts, we need Jojo & Cenac to get us an easier bucket inside.

The real contenders all have a legit inside scorer, do we?

Cenak won’t leave. Cenac may.

That goes back to my original question. Do we? Is that what Sampson wants from him?

78

Cenac does provide more floor spacing. With his 3pt shooting ability

But, at times this teams needs a bruiser. A dunker/shot blocker.

I wish we played Iowa State x2, Arizona x2. Those teams will really test Cenac toughness.

To answer your question. Is he doing what a freshman should do. Yes. Is he doing what a starting 5. National Championship contender Center should do, No.

Jojo is making better progress. You hope the same w/ Cenac

79

I wouldn’t even say he’s slumping, but I think he’s settling too much offensively for his jumper or passing out. Which wouldn’t be a big deal if Jojo didn’t have the offensive touch of a swinging sledgehammer.
