Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I view Sam the way Coach does, that is, I think he is a good player. I doubt he is an NBA guy, but he is a good power 5 big IMO.
It was a first game and I thought we looked a little lost early, but as the game wore on, I thought Miles and Elvis looked like the good college players they are and have been elsewhere. It is no fluke, Goodine and Jones can shoot. You saw what Goodine could do in the game.
Not sure what to think on Taylor and Cole yet. They both looked pretty good in the scrimmage, but not as polished in the game.
As far as Los and Oweh go, I thought both would develop into really good players in time, whether that was here or somewhere else. I wanted both to stay, particularly Los. Sophomore slump is a real thing and common. The commitment level of college athletics is substantial. But alas, it is the portal and NIL era. As for Cooper, I hope he proves my talent evaluation skill wrong, because I didn't think much of his game.
My biggest takeaways from the game are that Sam and Wague, will collectively, make us better than last year at the 5. And, with Fears and Moore, we will have at least two really good players. I think Fears is just electric. Hopefully, Moser continues to handle him correctly and not put too much on him until he gets further in the year. Confidence is a tricky thing.
