Game 26, 2023-24: VCU (2/20)

Floyd- Think a little harsh is right..hope he stays,excellent attitude and teammate I believe. Hope he realizes there are things he needs to work on to be better and he reaches his potential as a ball player. Frank is giving him a chance.

It's tough. We all want these kids to come in and be big contributors right away, but the reality is, most need a year or two to adjust, learn, and physically get stronger. Drive and willingness to allow Frank to push them to maybe limits they don't realize they have yet, is I think something you have or don't. He seems like a really good kid, and he has shown flashes of good skills. Just needs a little more consistency which I hope he develops this off-season. Look at Keon this year, totally different player this season. I'm a big fan of Keon, and I think RD can make a nice jump next year as well. His attitude is infectious

Davis won us the West Virginia game and plays hard every time he is on the court lmao what are we ever talking about? The kid is going to develop into a really good basketball player.

I was defending him there Archie

Good points regarding Davis. we need to give them a chance look at the difference now between Curry from First 10 games the second 10 games. A lot of times will have a teenager playing against somebody 22 .
Did not Ricky Harris make a huge jump from his 1st to 2nd year? and Keon from first the second also. Anyway, this has been my favorite Umass hoops team in a decade.Good group of young freshmen that should grow in ability

TO WILL H.--Will regarding your response on Davis' play- 'Well everyone including me is rooting for him and we can see his spirit and love of the game,but lets face reality: He cant shoot well in most games -he makes errors---he is lacking in a true position,not a one or two or three-he doesnot move well without the ball-he doesnot drive well to the basket-he doesnot appear to have a feel for the game as knowing where to be- he has only some sklls and has not an overall game-he cannot create his own shot---he is not a good defensive player --Why didnot lots of big programs recruit him? Why does Ndjigue start instead of Davis? Ndjigue has developed more basketball skills. Jayden is more polished,more basketball wise. Robert cannot yet do whats needed. Potential yes because he can shoot in practice. Everyone has a dream Davis will be a great player because they think he can shoot a three.Dreams!!!Tafara Gapare was last year another dream. Potential? Yes. Athletic? Yes.We see one has to know how to play the game. Some guys ,nice as they are donot have a feel for the game.Did Tafara? Does Davis? They need a lot of tutoring.

If Davis can develop into just a high % 3 point shooter then it is good enough for me. Next year, I think he will make the leap to a much more productive player.
