vescovi, our best player, isn’t in your starting 5?Our offense literally should be KC and ZZ penetrating either one on one, because no one can stay in front of those guys, or off of some high screen action from Fulky/ON/Uros. Once we get inside they can (1) score, (2) pass to a big man (catchable ball though), or (3) pass back out to a shooter. We have to find a way to get the ball inside and play inside out to have any chance at success. We don’t move the ball well at all though. Even when we do pass the passes are often not good so the receiver can’t immediately shoot or pass to the next player.
He’s a good spot up shooter but he’s not great at creating his own shot. Since we aren’t very good at moving the ball it makes sense that Powell isn’t having much impact. He should though. We just play offense like a bunch of individuals rather than a cohesive unit.We need him to be a go to scorer. Has an agressiveness and confidence to his O game that some others don't. Should be 4 not he's above Bailey atp.
It's amazing that so many of them keep coming back to that well, then. You'd have thought that the idea of Barnes as the Boogeyman would have gotten around in recruiting circles.Bruce let’s players play. Barnes puts the fear of God in them and if they make a mistake on defense or miss a shot, unless their name is Josiah, he pulls them to the bench. Barnes completely ruins player confidence
You do know Barnes tried to run off Schofield. We have also watched other players regress in their careers. I think it really depends on their personality. Schofield was a type A and could handle Barnes constant criticism which only made him better. Other players, not so much. I just wish Barnes would let players play loosely and not get them so uptight for making mistakes. This team looked great early season when they were playing loose, and now they look like they play scared. It’s Barnes MOIt's amazing that so many of them keep coming back to that well, then.

I don't disagree. He's a hard coach to play for, but kids still line up to do it. I do wish he gave kids a longer leash. Some kids want to be coached hard. Those who don't will transfer out but why did they commit to begin with? Barnes doesn't hide who he is on the floor.You do know Barnes tried to run off Schofield.

Powell is afraid to shoot. Until he takes open shots, he won’t play.
He’s certainly not expected to do much more than bring energy and shoot the dang ball.
Barnes is begging the boy to shoot. Y’all must be football forum
