Good read. Interesting to read that Cronin is telling Bellarmine how we are going to play and how to try and stop us to give us the best competitve game. I like Rubles, I think he will be very productive, my only concern on him (after one game) is his shot. His shot is low, not quick and very deliberate. Should be easy to block if teams do their homework. I'm guessing he only took so many threes because the D was giving him space from there, but I'm not a huge fan of my "bigs" hanging around outside to shoot. I will say if he shows the ability to hit that shot, which he did, it will open up his ability to drive and dish which suits his style.

I think Titus will be fine with his shot. Since he is such a good passer and can also drive to the rim, he has enough ability to keep defenders honest. Plus, you can tell he is very comfortable with that shot, so you don't want to mess up his shot by trying to rebuild it. His biggest challenge, just like most new players, will be adjusting to the speed of D1 basketball. Like you said, if he shows the ability to hit that shot, let him take it.
