[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 693852, member: 4110"] Thanks for the analysis, YlJacket. I don's see that our incoming Freshman class suggests moving to positionless basketball, either. But we are on a ton of long wings for 2021, so I don't know if long, rangy players will be the recruiting priority moving forward. That may allow some transition to positionless sets? The "Turnover" issue this season probably deserves a thread of its own. It is probably the single greatest factor in the squad not being bubbly (or at least second to Alvarado's injury). I haven't charted our turnovers, but my impression is that the team is an equal opportunity turnover machine. My perception is that our turnovers are equally distributed over all the ways a team can turn it over: Bad passes (poor entry angles, too low, too high, too hard, too soft), bobbled passes, dribbling errors (double dribbles, traveling, stepping out of bounds (my pet peeve)), and offensive fouls. My impression (which could be wrong) is that our ridiculously high turnover numbers are not due to being bad at just one or two of these things, but we do ALL of them more than the opposition. I also agree with ESPN that the team was built to be bubbly but was undermined by inconsistent and just too many stretches of sloppy play. The season isn't over, but my impression (that may be wrong) is that the team was more undermined by the Alvarado injury and inconsistent play by individual players than it was a matter of coach bungling. Even though the coach would get a mediocre grade by me for what he was able to get out of this squad, I still perceive the program may (depending on how we finish) have moved the needle this year (despite falling short of the bubble) and that the talent level and competitiveness of the program is better now than it has been in several years. We have a lot of productivity from this season with eligibility remaining. If we manage to land some of these 2021 recruits that we are getting to visit during the season, I will feel even more optimistic. [/QUOTE]
