The scimmage wont show you. The real games will. You cant tell much watching them play against each other. Looks much different against someone else Yeah, but I can see the players skills. No one like Perez on our team. I love the rest of the guys, but we need another proven scorer after we lose those two in order to get to the NEXT level. Premature HJ... the games have not started yet. Our guys are our guys...I dont expect them to be like someone else. As long as we score enough to win everyone will be happy. I believe we will.

Wormley is listed at 6'3 can't you interchange a smaller "quality" combo/scoring guard into the gameplan and adjust accordingly on defense etc? You must have missed the "score in bunches" requirement I'm looking for? Wormley isn't a scorer. Sounds like asolid floor general interested in setting up his teammates. Welcomed addition. But, I want a kid like the Perez from Canisius last year. Strong, versatile scorer that we can count on off the bench to give us 10 quick points in a half. We'll need some scoring pop when we lose Poole and Hymes. I don't care if it's a BCS transfer with at least two years, and he realized he went too high. HJ are you saying "he has to be" at least 6'2 and not bigger like our current guards as you have said in the past.....or can he be lets say 5'11(undersized) for a two but extremely talented scoring the ball and have his size offset by a 6'3 pg in Wormley in the lineup was my question that's all. Not Wormley being that guard.

BUT, his first requirement is that he scores the ball the minute he gets out of bed.

My point also was we might have a better chance of having someone like that fall to us because of his size and not taken by a HM.

Smaller is not better in basketball. As for MAAC size what does that mean? This is DI hoops and coaches love size for position at every conference. The more size you have the higher you are rated. A guard is defined by skill set not size. We have HM size and that is an advantage. Teams need to deal with that and we wont make it easy for them by playing small unless it is to our advantage in a particular match up

Teams need to deal with that and we wont make it easy for them by playing small unless it is to our advantage in a particular match up That's the problem, you think all D-1 hoops is the same, it's not. I'd rather have a great 6' guard, then a decent 6'4" one. I do think smaller guards (5'11-6'2") are much harder to guard because of their size. Sometimes it's advantageous to be smaller, quicker. Now Evan is too small. So was Brookins. But "great" 6' guards wouldn't be in the MAAC if they were 6'4". They'd be at a BCS school. That's the rub of being a mid-major.

We have to win the MAAC to dance. Our size is one of our advantages to reaching that goal. We need to continue to bring in talent and not smaller guys because other teams in our league are small

No small does not mean faster and yes DI is DI... of course that are different levels of play but every BCS school is not better than every Non BCS school #Facts

Big difference.
