IMO, blending the experienced players with the Frosh is the way to go. Yes the Frosh seem to be more talented, but the "Mettle" of some of the more experienced players is very evident in the cheistry of this team. The other think about Freshman is that they are inconsistent, inconsistent, and inconsistent...... almost all of them are.

However.

There are some rare exceptions, and I think Terrance Todd is one of them. You kind of don't apprecciate a person until he is gone, and that was the case yesterday when Todd was out. Todd hurt his ankle in the 1st minute of the 2nd half, and his quickness was inhibited to the point that they had to go with Goode down the stretch. The half court offense was not there, and my confidence was not there. This was the first game of the year that we really had trouble (mostly turnovers) at the end of the game...... and I think the reasons were obvious.

Todd is mature and talented enough to lead this team and play significant minutes..... he makes everyone else better.

I now realize that all my bitching and complaining has been misdirected, wasted energy .
As in life, players, coaches, and teams have ups and downs--and its part of the game.
The stags were showing good stuff yesterday, are growing as a team, and are to be commended for work to date, this season.
They are fun to watch and I for one will just enjoy the balance of the year. Destination is important, so is the journey.

I have to agree with you about Todd. I like all three freshman a lot, but Todd is probably the best 1 or 2 guard we have and the offense is much better with him at the point. If you watch teams defend, when Goode is at the point, no one even covers him anymore. He's got to take an occasional shot to keep the defense honest. Also, Goode does not create off the dribble or open up the passing lanes the way that Todd does. I hope this ankle injury is a short term thing.
