Not sure why you'd say that, since Princeton doesn't even have a business school and RU's, while not at the very top, is certainly a very good BS and in the next tier (and in the top few in certain concentrations, like Pharma/Health Care).
He mostly was out on the perimeter as a stretch 4, and not in the paint for any offensive boards that weren't long carroms.
In the pod they made the point that he was likely boxing out. Makes sense if he's playing the undersized 5 that his best role is to make sure the other team's center doesn't get the board. If so, that essentially makes him a good rebounder even if his teammates were the ones getting the ball.
It's hard being a message board genius.
no boxing out in baseball.
I thought you were talking about Wolfolk! He shot 5-6 with Marini guarding him. I see you are talking about the center never to be thought coming to RU.
You've hit it. He's a slightly better shooting, downgrade on defense Oskar.
Unless he was boxing out three guys, that is the most overblown thought Richie has been throwing around. The others had to box their own men out and get rebounds. The kid having to play against 5's is a legit reason. He's not as bad of a rebounder as last year makes him seem, but he still isn't good either.
Per article: Though Martini's natural position is as a face-up four (more on that in a bit), Princeton needed him to man the post this past winter. He did a commendable job of it. In the Tigers’ victory over Rutgers, he defended Cliff Omoruyi and despite giving up four inches a good deal in the speed department, he held Omoruyi to 12 points and seven rebounds by winning the positioning battle.
Shelby will not be happy unless two starters are added and Martini/Acuff are the first two off the bench.
It’s hard to ‘break the starting lineup’ when you’re not even on the team. Very hard.
You think we’re adding 2 starters plus a center? That seems excessive.
My bad. He’s on a bad Charlotte team. Oral Roberts must be Miller’s team. The point stands. Neither do much at the lower level.
What dumb logic. You actually think the number of players transferring to get a MBA is indicative of how many Ivy graduates seek a MBA degree from ANY school? Graduates go to RU business school because of its great reputation. Take some pride in RU.
No, I don’t think we’re adding two starters and a center so that’s why I’m disappointed.
The bar needs to be raised. We arent going from 90 to 30, we are looking to go from 300 to 30.
Guess it depends on what you thought of their games. I've always thought Oskar was better than Reiber who was a terrible shooter playing the role of a stretch 4/5. People thought he was good because of like 12 shots he took one year. You could tell Miller never belonged at this level.
So similar numbers to what we had, but at a lower level. Is he going to be one of the rare guys who improves against better comp? let's hope.
I don’t believe the problem has been absence of shooters, but rather the inability to get them good looks. Spencer was able to use screens to get open, catch and shoot on the move but other players don’t have that talent, needing stand still open outside shots but our offense doesn’t create those opportunities. Paul, Caleb, GG, Oskar, Hyatt and now Martini are not capable of making jumpers on the move. Simpson couldn’t make them either.need shooters, good pick-up
Oskar is loving proof that you can work on toughness. He came in soft, but by last year he was stepping in for chargers and mixing it up as much as anyone. Impressed with his tough ess honestly and willing ess to try to bang with bigger stronger players inside
Everything I've read said he played the 5. On offense he was probably at the 3 point line most of the time, but if he was guarding the other team's 5 he should be grabbing more rebounds
