If Pollard can find his groove on the inside and stop defenses from extending so much to defend the perimeter, they could make some noise.


I expected Pollard to have more of an immediate impact. He was projected as a potential one-and-done. He looked a little lost when y'all played Mizzou.

Only one that projected him as a one and done was himself and his mother. Pollard is raw and has great athleticism and length, but he has a lot to work on before he can jump to the NBA. We knew coming in, that he would probably be at least a 3-year player despite his eagerness to get into the NBA as quick as possible.

I thought that was one of his best games

He's raw as hell. None of our fans that really followed his recruitment thought he would be a one and done, but 2 and done was thrown around. That's not happening either. He's got potential but it might be his junior year before he's really good.

To the OP, this is our arguably our most skilled perimeter since Grant's been here. Actually forget arguably, it is. We have the worst collection of post players in the country (at least major conference basketball). That and Grant's not exactly an offensive guru.

We cannot rebound, and one of the things that people forget about that is how much it affects the amount of shots we're able to get up each game. It's one of (certainly not only) the reasons we find it so difficult to score even 70 points a game. Just looking at the stats from the Tennessee game, my guess is we only put up a comparable number of shots because we dominated the turnover stats.

We also never get any second chance baskets so the only really easy baskets we get are off turnovers.
