You are bugging. Last year what I saw was a lot of chemistry issues with the team. No practice time showed up early and often for everyone (the Citadel game still has me heated). Alot times Langley was trying to make something happen and his teammates weren't ready. Give him ample practice time to build chemistry with this group again, I guarantee that avg TO margin would go down. There was no chemistry issues...he drove to the hole against taller teams, didnt get the foul and lost the ball. He is a liability against good competition. Quick question: Who was a reliable outside shooter for Kam to improve the spacing on his drives? Who was a reliable rim runner that could do what Ron Jackson Devon Haygood did slashing to the rim so Kam didn’t have to dribble as much? Kam did what he did because like the ladies, we didn’t have effective outside shooting when it counts. Hopefully, our transfers can play above the rim and shoot 3’s much better than we did in 2020.

kam is a straight up "stud", period! kam does things that you can't record in a stat book, he controls "tempo", he knows when to speed things up and when to slow things down. he's an "outstanding" passer and ball handler.
he's the "glue" that keeps our team together on the court. so much so, that things tend to breakdown when he's not in the game. i get real "uncomfortable" when he's not on the floor because no one else could run the team like he does. kam is a complete "floor general" and that's what you want from your point guard.
folk who have "vast knowledge" of the game are the folks who appreciate kam the most because they can see that he does a lot of things that you can't measure in a stat book. the bsc is not a "major" step up in competition, in general from top to bottom it is literally a "lateral move". kam will do well no matter what competition he plays against at the college level...

I think Kam is likely to return and I hope next season we play big. Harry and Web have been teaming up in training and forming a really good partnership. If you add Duncan Powell that’s a big lineup that could dominate at both ends of the court.

Seeding in the ncaa tournament says otherwise...

I hear you but he is not good, I stand by my statement

Kam needs to be a little smarter about the competition he can go into the paint against.....but let's be real for a second. THE BIG SOUTH AIN'T MUCH BETTER THAN THE MEAC IN BASKETBALL! Winthrop was head, shoulders, navel, and pelvis above everyone else in the Big South......Pat Kelsey is gone from Winthrop. Even Mike Jones is gone from Radford to UNCG. Kam will be able to do many of the same things he's been doing in the MEAC in the Big South. We're going into the Big South, not the Big East...factor that in with our improved talent, Kam will be just fine. I've had concerns about some of his decision-making as well, but with our improved talent, he's gonna be fine.

Seeding in the ncaa tournament says otherwise... "seeding" is only an "OPINION", just like yours. seeding proves "NOTHING", that's why the meac has more march madness wins than the bsc and that's what matters. big south is 1-21 ( 4.55% winning percentage) in march madness, meac is 3-28 ( 9.68% winning percentage). the meac has 3 times as many wins in march madness as the big south has. performance in the tournament is "FACT", not an "opinion"...

I've had concerns about some of his decision-making as well, but with our improved talent, he's gonna be fine. I took the turnovers as a lack of trust in the team. With the way the transfer portal is, it’s paramount the team stays in Greensboro and develop chemistry for most of the Summer. Kam, and Blake, have to learn what their guys do well and can’t do well. Then, they all gotta understand the concepts Coach Jones wants to run. As we saw when the guys were able to practice together later in the season, the better they got, which led to the sweep of NCCU. With the influx of size and shooting we got on the perimeter, we should not see as many of the mistakes Kam and co made during this past season.

We the MEAC southern division champ beat the last place BS team by 7 points and lost to their 5th best team by 17. Again top to bottom the big south is head and shoulders above the MEAC.

Using our loss to Longwood, a team we should have beat handily, as a metric for saying the Big South is "being head and shoulders above the MEAC" is nonsensical. This is the same Longwood team that loss to D3 Greensboro College who we beat by 50. Longwood also loss to Hampton at home. We played terrible at Longwood! Moreover, the better teams were in the MEAC north with the MEAC South being weak including an impotent NCCU team that got beat by 25 in the tournament.
For the record, Norfolk beat both Hampton and Radford of the BS and I believe even Howard beat Hampton. There ain't much difference in the caliber of play between the MEAC and the BS except for Winthrop team.
