DooleyBull06 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Peace out. Won’t miss you. I’ve felt no connection to this squad, aside from a few players. I feel like they all lack on court chemistry. Him being at the center of it. Bye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zid was super personable at the games and offered some pretty thoughtful interaction. I know a few others here had the same experience. His game was disjointed and never fully came together, but he provided some of the bigger in-person dunks I've seen in my life. Wish him well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Wouldn’t mind restarting this team from the ground up. Zid was fine, but was way too up and down for me. Wouldn’t mind keeping some of the younger guys like jones, Jack, Caesar, blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn’t a fan of the iso ball. Iso ball was a constant theme under Whitesell. Hopefully that changes now that he’s gone. As for Powell, he seemed to always be at the helm of very chaotic basketball. Not knocking the person. You more than me got to know the young man. Wish him well in life. Just wasn’t a fan of his ball playing. Edited March 11, 2023 by DooleyBull06 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I always appreciate insight from local folks who regularly attend games. They/you get those personal interactions that I just can’t process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasketBull Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Can’t speak to his demeanor/personality but I will absolutely not miss his style of play. Wish him the best of luck on another team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) I’ll be following. I’m always interested to see how our players fare elsewhere. Do they do better? Which is an indictment on us. Or worse? Always interesting. Just look at Skogman. Grass wasn’t greener this season.

He was one of the players that I felt was not properly developed while he was here for 2! years.

I guess nobody wants to see who is coming in, maybe loyalty to JW. I was hoping Blocker would not be a casualty. I'm thinking Caesar may be next.

Big 4 Hoops Blogger Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) I'm going to assume that most of our roster will look to transfer out and seek other opportunities. It's not necessarily a bad thing for a new coach with the current state of the transfer portal. You can guarantee newcomers immediate playing time which should help land some decent recruits. St. Bonaventure had to reconstruct their entire roster last season and while they had an overall down season this year, they're set up to be somewhat successful in the upcoming years with some of their quality younger players.

DocCas86 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 There is also the chance that they re-recruit anyone that enters the portal. Michael Lewis was able to convince players to stay. They are making sure they have options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBulls99 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Worth noting the transfer portal doesn’t officially open until April 15. So they’re not actually in the portal yet and if they want to be eligible next Fall they’d be wise to keep going to class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous athlete with outstanding dunking abilities. I hope he finds what he is looking for. It appears that Zid went to three prep/high schools, two JUCOs and was the first player in the portal. His game reminded me a lot of Dontay Caruthers. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Hope both zid and kidtrell find great spots for themselves Lots of untapped potential between the two of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub2019 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Zid and Kidtrell are solid players, but the only two players I think will truly hurt to lose are Curtis Jones and Issac Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Adams and Chatman. Return those 4 as your core, try to convice Laquil to stick around, add a few pieces (start with Dolan to run the point) and this team can be strong next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBulls99 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Adams has already transferred. He would have to sit out a year. Not sure what would happen with Chatman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skogman didn't really do all that bad (after a rough start) at Davidson. Always came off the bench. Averaged 22.5 minutes in 32 games. 46.2% from the field (36.8 from Three). Averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Tied for the most blocks on the team. Josh Mballa might be a better example. Didn't play since the end of January. I assume he was injured. Only averaged 3.4 points in 16 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't play since the end of January. I assume he was injured. Only averaged 3.4 points in 16 games. Fair enough. Even though had he stayed he most likely would’ve averaged more in both categories here. But considering his start, solid bench number production and still has more years left to play. Great for him. Let’s not talk about Mballa lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) As I expected Ceasar is in the portal now. Not sure if I am happy or sad on this one. The dude is fast, no doubt. When he was in the game he play frenetically and was a "chucker" (Seinfeld reference intended). I'm just not sure he was going to be a D1 point guard, but without seeing him in that role it's speculation. He felt like a smaller version of Zid. I think they both are immensely talented, but not sure if they can play in a defined offensive flow, it felt like street ball when they came in. I wish him the best if he ends up elsewhere.
