November 7, 20187 yr Norse win big. Tate 17 McDonald 14 Walton 10 Nelson 10 Adheke 10 Robinson 9 Mocaby 9 Djoko 6 Vogt 6 Sharpe 5
November 7, 20187 yr NKU looked very lengthy. Didn't seem like a lot of the guys had any meat on them outside of McDonald and #0.
November 7, 20187 yr Really boring game. I mean, I'm ecstatic basketball season is back, but man, that was ugly.
November 7, 20187 yr Not much to learn from this one. Only interesting thing is to see who continues to get minutes as the competition gets tougher. Norse are pretty deep this year.

I was thinking just the opposite, I hope I'm wrong but I don't think they are deep at all. They are really going to miss Carson Williams and Faulkner. I'm also not too keen on playing D3 competition.

I'm also not too keen on playing D3 competition. Agree with the D3 game--it's useless. Of the ten players listed who scored 5 or more points, who do you see as NOT being in the mix?

I'm sorry but Vogt and Djoko just aren't D1 players and Mocoby is not ready yet to guard a D1 athelete. I like his offense however so he might get in against a zone defense. I do like Adheke however he is very raw. Look forward in seeing his improvement. He plays hard but might see foul trouble with him early.

Agree with you on all of these to some extent but you're talking about your 8, 9, and 10 players in the rotation. Mocaby will play a lot and have a big game on occasion--he's another Cole Murray. Djoko is a back up point guard at best but they have others who can fill that role (he wouldn't touch the floor if Cobbs was available). Vogt will get 5-10 minutes a game because he's 7'0" (which is why he's a D1 athlete).
November 8, 20187 yr The Norse should be very deep. They're depth isn't lacking talent, they're just young. They'll struggle at times. Happens when you have 9-10 new faces, but they can absolutely match anyone else in the league talent-wise.
November 8, 20187 yr Having freshman not yet ready to play no matter how talented is still having lack of depth. I think they will struggle to score at times. If Drew has an off night they might be in trouble. Need someone else to step up, maybe Walton can be the guy.
November 8, 20187 yr Now that's how a real team and coach does it right @CollegefootballGuy69 ? Held them under 50.
November 8, 20187 yr Who said they aren't ready to play? IMO NKU is not nearly as deap as they were the last few years. I would bet Coach B will only play 7-8 once conference starts instead of 9 or more that has played previously. It's a shame because they would have really be strong with Williams and Faulkner still on the roster.

This isn't an NKU specific issue. ***I do not mean for this to be as snarky as it sounds.**
