Scoring 21 points per game, 42% from three, and a whopping 88% from the foul line.

Since most 3-point attempts are open looks, at any level (and the foul line is the same everywhere), it’s obvious he can shoot, as Pike often said.

Maybe he just rushed it when he was here (he wasn’t shy about hoisting them up, so confidence probably wasn’t an issue).
 
I guess Pike misused him so badly he's broken forever. That's sarcasm for those of you that can't tell.
I think he got a glimpse of our NIL numbers and never recovered. I think it may have happened right around 11/11/2023.

GG, Jalen Miller, Reiber and Chol?

That's the roster all the "Transfer Portal is ruining college athletics!!" people want.

Are the guys we have any better than those 4?

Gavin would have more time in the prorgram and might even defend better than Hayes

Reiber and Martini are similar

Jalen Miller and JaMike

Chol was the worst defensive player I ever saw so we will leave him aside
 
From a Carino article on Simpson-no mention of Chol?

Whereas Cliff Omoruyi is platooning at center for Alabama and Mawot Mag and Gavin Griffiths are barely contributing at BYU and Nebraska, respectively, Simpson is averaging 8.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 32 minutes per game. He is Saint Joseph’s top perimeter defender and shares lockdown tips gleaned from a certain former teammate with his new backcourt mates.

 
Don't see how because it happened his junior year and he shot well as a senior.

Sometimes, the consequences of an eye injury may not become noticeable for months or years after the damage occurs. These late effects may all result in vision loss. Continued follow-up care is essential to preserve vision after an injury.

Okay, but don't you think the medical staffs at either school would have found an issue by now?

It also can simply be that he's not got the mental makeup for high major basketball and is struggling under the weight of expectations.

Scored a combined 4 pts against Texas Tech & Texas. He's averaging 8.9 ppg so far this year vs 8.3 ppg last year. We didn't lose much here.
Of course, but he's developing/improving a little. His awful shooting stats seem to be up 5% in total and from 3. We wish Derkack, Williams, or Davis were shooting 34.5% from three.

Maybe they have, but felt his vision could or would adjust, but maybe it hasn't to the speed of high level college hoops (vs high school). I'm really not looking to argue on this. I said I was wondering if his eye injury caused more damage or possibly worsened and is disrupting his game re: hand-eye coordination, depth perception, spatial awareness, etc. Be my guest if you want to work on a more detailed ophthalmology analysis to answer my curiosity lol.

Yep...it's this.

His talent is undeniable. Kept hearing that last year he was the best player on the team when it came to pickup runs. He just can't get his brain to slow down and he doesn't have a good feel for a high level division 1 game. Not that uncommon. We've all played with/coached kids that absolutely WOW you in practice or just messing around but never seem to shine in games. Reverse is true as well. One of the great things about team sports imo.

Stay in your lane - you've repeatedly demonstrated minimal understanding of medical science.
 
He was mis-scouted. It happens. There’s no denying the miss on the defensive end. Bad does not adequately describe his starting point. That has nothing to do with eye sight.
 
The stretch 4 you don't want to sleep on.......
Not sure what time of day you posted this, but his last 2 games, including on the day you posted this, have been good.

Not that I am clamoring for the return of Dean.

His vision doesn't allow him to see the opposing players as they blow by him.
