You mention Spears transferring, I do...Great posts.<BR/> You mention Spears transferring, I don't have any insider information I'm just a guy who has watched just about every game for the last ten years. I see Spears' transferring being a no-brainer for him. He's just two inches too short and there is no cure for that. You saw in ACC play that he was just overmatched, not experience wise over-matched but just physically. He could get a few rebounds but how many times did you see Spears get an offensive rebound right under the hoop and either get his shot blocked or miss because he was trying to navigate with all those longer arms and bodies down there.<BR/>I look at Spears as a kid who would be a first team all-conf. player some day at a B.U or Northeastern. Even at a George Mason, but he is too small in ACC, he needs to move down a level and be a real factor.<BR/>No surpirse on the Haynes transfer, he was terrifying when the ball was in his hands, just too many turnovers and not enough offensive game to balance it.<BR/>Roche just needs to work on getting his shot off quicker. You watch a lot of SG's and they catch and release in one motion, Roche takes that extra second and with a 6'8 guy flying at you, makes all the difference. I'm sure the coaching staff is making that a focus.DHapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568712708207251928noreply@blogger.com
