Is Issa ....Outta?

[RutgersMO]

Just wondering. Doesn't seem like he's in a rhythm or flow.

Not hitting 3's and not really putting up any numbers.

Seems like Mathis, McConnel, Harper have all passed him by.

Wondering if he gets a shot a redemption?

The coaches should’ve developed his inside game. At his height, he should be posting up the guards. Work inside out. Instead, he just stands on the 3 pt line and waits. It’s like 4 on 5 on offense.

He has had the flu for the past 2 weeks never mind traveling for the holidays and having the stress of finals. Being sick during that time is terrible, I don’t think this is the permanent new Issa.

Traveling where for the holidays? They haven't had a road game since Wisconsin in early December. Fordham is local

He's a 6'10" three point shooter and a decent defender. He can't rebound and has no inside game. As we improve he'll play less and less. That's the way it should be.

Oh please. Give me a break

Different guys will step up at different times. We will need them all during B1G play. Love watching armchair athletes try to bury players throughout the year. Some posters had McConnell transferring after a couple of games. Ridiculous.

I highly doubt he went home to africa for the holidays

McConnell is looking more and more like steal of the class!

There should be sets when Baker, Montez, McConnell and EO are on the floor with a Big (e.g. Johnson)...and Barker, Harper, McConnell, Kiss and EO (the small variety pack :sunglasses: ).

We need shooters and players who can take care of the ball, MAKE THEIR FOUL SHOTS and set up teammates to score. Baker seems to be in a little shooting slump, and McConnell is taking up the slack. Suggest Baker moves to the 2 … until the version of Baker that was in the B1G tourney shows up.

Also Kiss , Mathis & Harper need to find their shooting strokes...pronto.

During one stretch of practice on Thursday, while handling the ball near the free throw line, Thiam tried to force the ball to a teammate near the basket. Pikiell immediately called him over, explaining to him, paraphrasing, "In that situation you should have had an easy layup. No one was in front of you. There was no need to pass it. Just take it to the rim for an easy two."

The problem with Thiam is that he has no ego. Convincing him to be selfish is harder for him than putting on another 10 pounds.

Suggest Coach force him to binge watch a complete season (any season) of the Apprentice for ego enhancement.
