How would you guys grade each individual player, the team, and the coaching staff after a 27-4 regular season?
 
I think off the top of my head I'd say:

Clark A+
Evans A+
Scott A
Cumberland B+
Broome B+
Washington B
Nsoseme B
Moore C+
Jenifer C+
Brooks C
Williams C

Team Overall A

Coaching A

I am doing this based on preseason expectations.

Are we grading where they are now, or play throughout the season. Guys have had some up and downs so far

I'd say grade however you think you should then just explain your process. I did it based on what I expected coming in. That's why Scott got an A and Nsoseme got a good trade. Also why Brooks and Williams were lower for me.
 
Clark...A
Evans...A

Cumberland...B
Washington...B
Broome...B

All the rest get C's. I'm keeping it simple....lol!
 
Based on overall consistency and level of contribution to the team.

Evans: A
Clark: A
Washington: A-
Cumberland: A-
Broome: B+
Jenifer: B
Scott: B-
Moore: C+
Brooks: C
Williams: C-
Nsoseme: C-
 
So mine were based off the expectations of each player this year and how they met them. I did not penalize Broome for not getting on the court as I think he earned more time. Cumberland is struggled early, still disappears for stretches that are too long. But man has he developed his game with the ball. He was the toughest for me to "grade". If he was consistent throughout the whoel 40 minutes, he'd be an A for sure.


Clark A+
Evans A
Broome B+
Cumberland B
Washington B

Nsoseme B

I would give them straight A's because we are 27-4 and ranked in the top 10. I still want more but I feel to this point we accomplished what I had hoped for this season (except a win over X).

I expected more out of Cumberland early in the season and he certainly struggled, but he has played so smart as the year has gone on and is playing more like I expected.

I have wanted Broome to start from day 1 but maybe he wouldn't have developed into a really efficient player if he was the game 1 starter.

I was hoping for more contributions from Williams and better shot selection but it is probably tough to come in to a team that has 2 developed wings like Evans and Cumberland.

Our rotational bigs have played well in spurts and although I am concerned about next year, they played their roles well so far this season.

Washington has been a defensive liability at times but he still exudes so much passion and is the best offensive 5 we have had since we made our last sweet 16.

Evans and Clark have been all-league players all year and I will certainly miss them when they are gone.

Overall, I don't want this season to end but I have watched all 40 minutes of every game and have thoroughly enjoyed this entire season. It has been special. Now, let's try to be a consistent top 10-15 every year. Then I will be a little more tough on my grading.

I should probably separate Cumberland from Kyle and Cane. Cumberland is not quite on the level of Clark or Evans overall but I think he is clearly more valuable than Washington or Cane overall. He can score a little, defend pretty well, passing is awesome, rebounds decent, he's not getting pulled constantly for mental lapses. I wish Cumberland could be a little more efficient on offense but I can't complain too much with everything else he does. Let's give him a B+.

Kyle is what he is at this point a good solid player a notch above his back ups. Cane still has some upside...I think he moves past Kyle in the post season.

Pretty nice breakdown. I am extremely happy with our record (and rank and seed potential) even if we could have snuck a couple more wins out of it we didn't have any bad losses either. It's easy to say we should have won a couple more big games but at the same time...we haven't lost a bad game in over two full seasons. How many teams can say that? We lost 1 home game in over two full seasons. How many teams can say that? We don't have to "take the good with the bad" because we don't really have the bad. We just have the "not so good".

We are rounding into form with Cane getting to the point we all were hoping. Our bench (at the very least) can all play solid D. Everyone knows their role right now.
 
No grades. Overall very happy with the complection of the program. Great record and ranking. We have a great group of young men who represent the program and university very well. Mick and staff has done a great job with 1 top 60 player. Appreciate what is accomplished already. Here's to a long run in NCAA's.
