I know Coach Cronin said on his radio show that Moore is hellbent on making this work. If we're regularly using 12-13 scholarships, I have no issue with him wanting to stay and compete for a position. There were points in the season where I thought a mutual parting of ways was almost a given. After hearing that Moore is committed, you keep him in the program imo. I'm not a fan of scholarships being year to year if the player is committed to the team and doing the right things.

players who blow get pushed out of programs all the time. typically it doesn't come down to yanking a kid's scholarship.

someone like quadri would certainly be inspired to think about transferring if the coach went to him and said, "hey kid - you just really suck and are absolutely never going to contribute a net positive here, so we might want to think about finding a better personal opportunity for you."

rarely are you going to find a kid who would want to stay and sit on the bench like a ******* loser.

A good chunk of collegiate athletes spend their careers as a backup playing few minutes. Everyone can't start and play the majority of the game. They're simply called "reserves". It doesn't make them a "******* loser". Your views on what you believe coaches and student-athletes should be doing is alarming.
 
Quadri has some skills, that is not the question to me. He clearly lacks foot speed which kills his defense. My concern with Quadri is can our coaches actually develop him? Can they realize his strengths and weaknesses and have him get better? Sometimes i picture our coaches just telling guys like Quadri, well you need to do this, this, and this and stop doing that that and that you'll be good.
 
lack of foot speed ---> inability to play defense ---> inability to contribute on a net positive to your team

doesn't matter how hard you coach him up. you can't teach athleticism.

He can be helped defensively simply by guarding a 5. Whether we play man or zone next year, it's not fair to always have him at the bottom covering ground out to 21 feet.
 
it's not fair to his teammates to put him on the court when he's the one guy who can't do his job.

Quad has foot speed issues for sure and with teams running the pick and roll offense it is hard to hide players. He still has two years left. Hopefully he continues to work hard and improves the areas where he is weak.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm dumb as shit. That being said, I see no reason why Quadri can't become an all conference player. Let's not forget Kenyon was once not the player of the year, but then he became player of the year.

Also you're not the coach Madman. Mick is the coach. Quadri is a player.

Kenyon just got mentioned in this sentence? Kenyon was always an elite defensive player, it was always about whether his offense would blossom, which it of course did. I wouldn't under estimate just how good he was defensively his freshman-junior year though. Even his 'per 40 minutes' stats as a freshman/sophomore/junior crush everyone else from the program defensively, Quadri obviously included in that.

Okay fine but you can't tell me you don't see the parallels between Danny Fortsons development as a player and Quadri's transformation into a strong, young man.
 
I like Bowman over Broome. Bowman was verballed in football to N.C. to get to that level how much time could he spend on basketball. With 100% of his time devoted to basketball who knows how good this kid can be. He is bigger and much more physical looking than Broome and we could use him this year .

I go the other way. Give me a guy who has averaged 23 ppg and named player of the year in his conference any day. He can play at this level. It's always a crap shoot with high school kids.
