Guard Mike O’Connell Announces He Will Play His Final Year of Eligibility at NC State
Kirk will not solve any issues the Pack is having when facing good defensive teams. The problem is defensive and offensive schemes! Gottfried has recruited the worst bigs to run the high low offense. Anya, Freeman and Abu lack the skill set to be consistent threats. They all have horrible basketball IQ and they lack passing skills and can’t shoot. They all make so many dumb mistakes it makes Cats job impossible. Who does this reflect on? Gottfried!!!!! He let the wrong player leave with K wash rather than freeman or Anya this team would be in the top 5… Read more »
Every player that plays the game of basketball has their strengths and has their weaknesses. Rowan can’t play really good defense. Kirk is actually a really good defender when he got playing time. Rowan has a better offensive game than defense. He can shoot the ball lights out on any given night. Sure he had a bad night against UNC but he is capable of it. Kirk on offense is more of a cut to the basket type of player. Kind of like what Mark Gottfried would draw up for TJ Warren when he was playing for the pack. So… Read more »
No he did not….but every time he has been in the game he’s turned it over more than he’s scored. There is a reason Rowan got the starting spot and a reason Kirk sits. We only got Kirk hoping it would bring Dennis and Bam…same reason Kentucky went after him last minute. He was never going to play this year
Pickard for Pack Kirk didn’t go 2-12 last night with two rebs and 4 fouls, did he? Give him a chance. Rowan shoots .350 and .332 for threes. We don’t need many of these guys to be below average in the ACC.
You are an idiot if you think Kirk is better than Rowan….as an 18 year old freshman he gets 13 per game and could easily get 20 on any given night. His defense needs to improve, but Kirk hasn’t shown he can play D either?? Rowan is 18 guarding 20,21,and even older guys…you loose all credibility with stupid comments like this one?!
Another one bites the dust. Please play Kirk over Rowan. Rowan sucks most of the time and can’t play a lick of defense. He and Nard should have stayed in high school another year. There is help for Rowan. Get his ass in shape and make him hustle. Nard is hopeless.
