More than just words, we're seeing the action.
Maturing here. I like the vibe I'm hearing and feeling.
I'm not a happy talker, never have been.
Point being, this team needs to continue to amp it up. Take it to the next level. And I think they can.
Started a thread earlier based on Akron's Dambrodt reportedly looking to try and get a high brow Bracket buster match up, even going on the road, to make up for their own deficit of not having any quality road wins.
So back to the point. Though the West is not even won, nor the anything above that, I like the idea of "chumming the water" and challenging the kids with the big fish.
Throw some bait out there. Say your trying it.
I understand the angst about home games. I appreciate the concern about the welfare of the freshman. Neither are in the best interest of the programs development.
You don't want to plateau. Then don't. But if your'e not striving you will plateau.
So chum the water. Run it up the flag pole. Let the kids know you believe in them. Use a lil psychology on the BB deciders. Go to them and say we'll travel but only to WSU, SDSU, or whomever. Knowing they may not bite you may still get a marquee name coming to UA. Keep your mouth shut? You plateau. You settle.
This group needs the accelerator pushed down some more.
Right now WMU has two bigs that are starting to realize that both individually and as a unit are thee factor here. Not in a selfish manner but in confident self assured way. Also I getting a vibe that they feel "responsible" to "pick it up" and not just occupy space.
Nate continues to play D and hasnt shown signs of discombobulating because he cant jack up 20 shots. He still makes a hairbrained decision now and then but isnt going off half cocked most of the time.
I think Brandon is playing with less pressure as D Brown is making significant contributions and the result for Pokely is a better floor game and letting shot opportunities come to him. Not pressing.
We all are seeing DB embracing this add'l chance to play. It's cool to watch him experience it. It's almost as cool to see the results.
I know some may feel the PG is the weak link. Maybe it is. But every team has at least one weak link in their chain. For some, it's no bench depth. That is proving not to be the case for WMU. I feel both Jared and AR will continue to be fine. AR is playing with a little more "swerve". He's feeling he doesnt have to have 44 to be a factor. Jared still trying to find his spot but you know in the back of his mind he remembers OU and that he more than held his own. In time, it'll come.
"The freshman". LOL. They're sophomores now. Let the dogs loose. Play with some OU abandon. A lil swagger. Quit coddling.
They gave you the cue at USF. They don't scare. They manned up. I know USF blows but nobody knew it then and they responded when all they knew was that it was a BE prograrm. The kids didnt blink. They threw a haymaker and it landed.
For their sake dont go back to a neutral corner and let the mind set come back that we want to win the MAC West. Please dont go there.
