NBA guys are playing far more often and and their season is far longer. Max is a freak athlete and a very disciplined player. Hard to compare him to players on this squad, although I would argue that we saw his effectiveness fade towards the end of last season. The fact that we had the top two D-1 players in average minutes played is remarkable. I agree that comparing college and NBA players is not relevant.

Keenan Henderson Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Coach Springman said some interesting statements in the post game: 1. It felt like SDSU went on a 40-0 run during that decisive stretch at the end of the first half. 2. He learned a lot this season in his first year as coach: mainly how many hours, meetings, etc it takes to build a winning mentality in players. He said you have change their thinking from me to we. 3. He almost cried when asked about McBride and Thompson's impact on the team. 4. He raved about William Kyle and how he keeps things simple: score around the rim and plays great team defense 5. He said Kareem turned down six figures in NIL money to come back to ORU. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 About as expected tonight but TheEagleman not giving up on Springmann just yet....and yeah the Summit Tourney should get moved around....but good luck with that.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 It will be a slow process: I do not expect Springmann to win 20 plus and go to the tournament next year but he needs to get ORU back to 500. Then build from there. SDSU's fan base will buy 10,000 plus tickets every year, so why would the Summit League change it's location. It is a money move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the insiders probably can’t reveal exact amounts, but are ORU players getting NIL? From where? Is the collective up and running?I know Max had a car deal… If Kareem turned down 6 figures that’s interesting for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state of college athletics is in such a state of flux currently. We are attempting to build the donor base and compete.

Keenan Henderson Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 SDSU controlled the paint tonight by 36-18. Mayo started off with a lot of drives and 6-7 shooting in the first half, which opened it up for the bigs to dominate in the second half. ORU started off hitting 3s, which if they had an inside game, would have opened it up for the bigs. The Eagles tried to post Kareem but it just did not work. He does not have the size to overpower people on a nightly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cornelius Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I like McBride but the tournament being held in Sioux Falls had no bearing on the early exit. The lack of development and regression to iso ball we witnessed all season was a much larger factor than all the Jackrabbit fans. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying Tulsa is a beautiful city and an excellent place to host the tournament. He said in other sports the school that wins the conference title gets to host the postseason tournament, and he thinks basketball should be that way as well. I don’t think he was blaming the loss on the location. At least that is my take on what he said. The things he was saying made me wonder if he was actually responding to some of Paul Mills arguments from last season more than about this season, because in effect, the team that won the regular season title is more or less hosting the postseason tournament. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ORU40 Posted March 10 Popular Post Share Posted March 10 13 hours ago, Keenan Henderson said: 4. He raved about William Kyle and how he keeps things simple: score around the rim and plays great team defense I find this statement by HCRS so important on several levels for coach to improve going into his 2nd season. First of all, Kyle isn't successful because he keeps things simple; Kyle is successful because his coach keeps things simple for him! They are not trying to make him a 3-point shooter or learn spacing on the perimeter, they are teaching how to make himself available in the paint and good, simple, basic footwork. They are teaching him solid rebounding fundamentals on both ends of the floor and good position team defense played with his feet and not continually getting dumb fouls because he is reaching and trying to block every shot. You watch SDSU and they do such a good job with their bigs, they are so well coached on the basics. Kyle is a great athlete, so he looks incredible, Appel is an average athlete, at best, but still very effective. I think one area where we can really improve next year is in the post; keep it simple coach, let's get our bigs to be able to score around the rim and play good team defense and rebound. Coach needs to go get an asst. coach that can teach solid post fundamental skills; footwork, stop playing D with our hands and getting the same dumb fouls over and over. How to post up strong and provide the passer a target, and a couple basic post moves, like the up and under. And finally, how to box out, our bigs are too big and athletic for us to be getting out rebounded like we are every game. Don't over think it coach, keep it simple and do the basics consistently well! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
