TCU v Oral Roberts Game Thread

[Waccy Frog]

Samuel, Archie and Davis will be beasts. This was their second game! Nembhardt is also very strong, as are Noi and Mayan. Alok, Bane and Fisher still have two years....holy cow. Hopefully Robinson and Miller can help them gel this year and enjoy the returns immediately. They deserve it!

Will be interesting to see this team in about a month as we figure out rotations and add Fisher Noi and Mayan. Going to be tough to get everyone their minutes.

Unbelievable to type that from where we were a few years ago.

You guys do know Nembhard was in the top 10 in scoring as a senior at Keller. He took them to the final four at freaking Keller, who have never been anything in hoops. Part of the problem is he’s never been asked to play point and he’s having a hard transition but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a good player.

He's going to be fine once he/they figure out his role. He had a fantastic assist tonight, I am very optimistic about his future.

Never seen a Frogs hoops team with this much young talent. I think we're going to be really good this year, but next year could be YUGE!

Nobody said he wasn’t a good player.

No one said he wasn’t a good player. We were trying to work through why he’s slow to start, and I believe My opinion was that he is somewhat ‘out of position’ at this point, along with coming off some rust due to knee last year.

And to be clear, not saying he won’t be a good point if that’s where he ends up, which I don’t think he will, but he likes to slash and he likes to shoot. Pass first role is new.

EDIT Moose beat me to it.

RJ has always been a scorer, more of a slasher than a sniper. His shot looks so much better this year and you can see he is thinking too much but the athleticism is there. As for Davis, all you had to do was look at his tape to see the kind of player he was. He’s a leader who has always made those around him better.

K Davis also gonna be a really solid player.

I really like how he never gives up on a play. He's going to generate a lot of turnovers after defensive boards bc of his hustle. He also pulls down offensive boards just bc he's hustling while the ball is in the air. I'm going to be a fan of this one for sure.

my high school coach would always yell to "play fast but don't rush" which didn't always make sense during a game, but i can see it at times with rj.

defensively in the first two games he has rushed out and gotten himself caught in no man's land which is simply a matter of him trusting his physical ability and doing what he is taught instead of getting out of control.

archie really has shown great presence defensively on the wing and i think both he and rj are going to grow into very good perimeter defenders which was something lacking at times last year

offensively they both are feeling their way. archie looks like a guy who last year could basically get a shot any time he wanted and was often one of the bigger guys on the floor. now that has changed and he has to adjust a bit. both will be able to drive, heck davis at 5'10" showed the ability to go inside, but they have to make that adjustment to the bigger bodies and the better athletes they are facing

I’m fired up to get back to town to watch this team live

When it's all said and done, I think Nembhard will be a very good player for TCU.

He is built and moves like a basketball player... if that's even a thing.

 

[Dogfrog]

Think we’re ok for now with Davis at point. He might lead the team in floor burns and clutch FT’s. Also would not mind KD in regular rotation with Fisher at point. Leave ARob at 2 and let him drive/score/dish from there. Nembhard needs to successfully transition from practice tee to the course. And he will.

ORU lost at home to Cal Baptist last night. First season in D1 for CBU.
