Gueye is as good as he is going to get. Early on I thought playing time would help him improve but that does not appear to be the case. He is getting playing time because we have no one else.
I am glad to see Jacobs improving on the offensive end. He is a 6-8 power forward. Too bad our depth is so bad we can not put another quality post player in the game at the same time with him. What bothers me about Jacobs is the way he started the season. He had a hurt ankle but he was 30 pounds over weight and out of shape. It took him most of the season to get into playing shape. That needs to be corrected this off season. We would have won games against Mercer and Tulane had he showed up ready to play and would have a tournament bid locked up right now..
Engstrom will be back next year and I look forward to that regardless of what WV says. He is a defensive force and was showing signs that he could make an easy basket or two each game. We have two big freshmen coming in. I hope one or both of them are ready to play for us. Pollard was a disappointment this year. He needs to put on some weight in the offseason but still come back in shape. CAG can use Pollard as an example to the new guys that they need to bulk up and be ready to play when they come in. You are not in high school anymore.
I agree about Engstrom. He was showing real energy on both ends of the court and he could score on occassion. We would have won more games with him playing all year.
Engstrom may have improved a little (from horrible) had he not been injured. So you want to waste another year to find out?
Engstrom will help our team next year. Hopefully it will be as a non-starting role player. However, unless the freshmen can step up he may be our best option.
(WV, it is against CRS rules for me to call you hard headed so I won't.)
Why take a chance of being whistled all next season, because Engstrom and 9'GB are on the bench with their big floppy shoes over the line?
