Anyone else notice that Samson didn’t get a single minute vs Xavier?
I could have sworn he was in briefly. Then again, I smoke a lot of pot.
Maybe, but we're not where Hurley thought we would be based on how we started. Hurley is now worried about winning today not setting up Sampson for down the road.Something is amiss here. He was slated a starter at season beginning right? He’s healthy and cleared to play certainly could go 10 minutes, so what gives? Please don’t tell me he’s not conditioned enough to to play 10 out of 40 minutes. Must be Hurley doesn’t think he can help that much?
I don't think you understand the amount of conditioning needed to play consistent non-garbage time minutes. Considering it was a foot injury. he couldn't run or really get cardio in. Since he was out for 2 months its gonna take time for Hurley to be confident in him playing real minutes, and for his body to be ready for that cardio too. Don't think it's anything serious, just a ramp up period.Something is amiss here. He was slated a starter at season beginning right?

Against Xavier we did not have the luxury of hoping he's good enough to give solid minutes when we're down 17.Something is amiss here. He was slated a starter at season beginning right?

must have been some good strong weed because he was never in the game. . I am thinking you could've had the Northern Lightning that some of the Jamaican bangers in Hartford in NYC sell ( don't ask me how I know that ).I could have sworn he was in briefly. Then again, I smoke a lot of pot.

this exactly.Against Xavier we did not have the luxury of hoping he's good enough to give solid minutes when we're down 17.
Also, not worth putting him in during our second half runs.
I'd have rather used time out strategy to keep our players fresh, which i thought Hurley did a good job of.
The rest of the team has been practicing together all season, building chemistry, and learning team offense/ defense schemas and rotations. SJ missed all that, and doesn’t have any significant experience from last year to fall back on. It will either require a big lead, or SJ just crushing it in practice for a couple weeks for Salmson to have an opportunity to work his way back into the rotation.Something is amiss here.

The chemistry of losing 5 out of the last 6? Blank that chemistry. I see everyone’s point on this yet we have an 18 or 19 year old athlete with little body fat who has played basketball for 10-12 years. I just don’t buy that he can’t play 3 minutes for 3 different stretches in the game. Hurley might say it’s conditioning but my guess is that he doesn’t make the team on the floor much better which is strange because he was starting. We’ll see what he brings to Hurley in practice and I hope it’s enough to get him productive floor time.The rest of the team has been practicing together all season, building chemistry, and learning team offense/ defense schemas and rotations.

The Butler game was on Jan 22 and Hurley just didn’t throw him in coldI don't think you understand the amount of conditioning needed to play consistent non-garbage time minutes.

Elaine: He’s an enigma; a mystery wrapped in a riddle.I got a kick out of this board thinking he was the answer for last month, and kept my mouth shut. I will continue that. Other than saying: Why don't people think this stuff through?
We don't know if he was slated a starter because Karaban was just being cleared to play from spraining both ankles. He may have started solely because Karaban was on the mend and questionable to play starter minutes. It was never stated he had won that position.Something is amiss here.

Corey Floyd Jr has entered the chat@jibsey I think your logic is pretty sound. If he was able to actually help the team, and he is cleared to play, he would've gotten minutes. I can't imagine a scenario where Hurley thinks this guy can really give us a lift but chooses to sit him.
Im almost 100% sure that theres an interview of Hurley saying AK won the position.... and that Samson was "starting" because AK hurt his ankle. I do also know that Samson "impressed" in the closed scrimmages when AK was out.We don't know if he was slated a starter because Karaban was just being cleared to play from spraining both ankles.

It's what happens when people only listen to the Hurley sound bites and don't use their eyes...I got a kick out of this board thinking he was the answer for last month, and kept my mouth shut. I will continue that. Other than saying: Why don't people think this stuff through?
