What the hell do you people want from the guy?
He's playing with an injury that would keep MLB millionaires
out for months.
Ramster, who cares if you 2 guard rebounds? Are you serious?
Frontcourt? Mo Allie-Cox abused ours, and he's only 6'6".
We made that Egyptian kid look like an all star.
I'd love to see Hassan for once play PF, and not have to be buried
in the middle.
I like Iverson. He's such a good rebounder. He made a couple
of super passes that went uncommented on by the talking heads.
He does a lot of things. He only needs to solve the fouls to be
an impact player.
However, there is some real talent here on in the program.
It needs to be supplemented by size and depth. Quality depth.
The lack of in season development by Thompson
and to a lesser degree, Akele, is troubling.
Hassan, EC, Terrell and Garrett all greatly improved
from the beginning of their freshman year to the end of that year.
These kids are going the other way.
I'm not going to comment on next year.
We've heard the hype and bought into it in previous years.
Time for everyone to step back and see the actual product
before buying in.

Sure I am serious.
But my original comments on Terrell's rebounding were made after the Dayton game when Terrell only had 1 rebound - not after last night's game. Last night Terrell had a better 4 instead of 1 and we was more aggressive on the boards than he was against Dayton. We were much stronger in rebounding last night outrebounding VCU by 12 rebounds 41-29. Against Dayton we were outrebounded by 8 so rebounding was not our problem last night.
In the Dayton game our 3 starting guards were outrebounded by Dayton's starting guards 15-5 - that was my original point.
Last night our starting guards had a much improved 13 rebounds: Garrett (4), McGlynn(5), and Terrell(4)
Furthermore, Not sure I would call Terrell a 2 guard when we have Garrett the PG, McGlynn @ SG, then Terrell becomes the 3 Guard, or I suppose you could say we are playing with two "2" guards.
If no injuries then Terrell would be the 2 guard but he had to switch to 3 guard in the 3 guard offense that we play.
Hurley after the Iona game told Terrell he needed to rebound better, specifically on the offensive boards.
Looking back at the stats:
Last year:
2014-2015 Terrell 2.4 rpg in 27 mpg. .5 offensive. He was 6th on the team in rpg
2015-2016 Terrell 3.7 rpg in 35 mpg. .5 offensive. He is 5th on the team in rpg
Iverson 6.6
Martin 5.9
Watson 4.7
Garrett 3.9 with 1.0 offensive
Terrell 3.7
