Seasons Done...final thoughts, and next year.

[n.ogdencat]

Well...first off, loved the way the Cats finished the season last night in Missoula. Tough, heart-breaking loss at the hands of the hated Griz. One thing is for sure, there is definitely a strong rivalry between these two squads. I love to hate the Griz.

Anyway...positives? I know...are there any? Well, yes, I believe there are. First, Jeremy Senglin is this teams leader. He needs to become consistent at hitting his runners and finishing at the rim, but there was nobody on Montana's team who could guard him. Some things he can work on. Seeing the floor better. Twice last night he had Joel wide open and didn't make the pass. He needs to get his teammates more involved and run the offense better. PICK and ROLLs with Joel and Zach. They need to work on that all summer.

Second...Richaud Gittens is a lock down defender. He is going to get teams best players every night. I think he has really taken his defensive game to the next level. Now he has got to become more controlled and consistent on offense. He is a guy who can make a curling mid-range jumper and has such unique speed and ability to get to the basket. Being a lefty, he can really take advantage of defenses if he can routinely and consistently hit his running shots.

Third...Joel is becoming more and more comfortable getting out of double teams, and handling the ball. He and Zach need to build great communication and trust in each other. If they could learn how to pass to each other. Yikes...that could open up the middle and make double teams practically impossible. One area of concern, Joel doesn't box out very well. He is a great rebounder, but he needs to become more dominant. Coach should give him a goal of averaging 15 rebounds a game next season. Lofty but possible. He has gotten better offensively each season. His shooting is incredible for a big man. Now if he could become more comfortable playing with his back to the basket. Joel needs to toughen up. He finished the season better, but needs to be consistently tough every night. He has the potential to become dominant.

Fourth...HILL...HE IS TO DAMN TALENTED to be just going through the motions. He needs to become far more comfortable playing basketball. He is the truest tweener Weber has had in a long time and if he could become a better defender and more mobile on offense could be something special, but he has to put in the work and get his speed and agility up.

Fifth...RYAN RICHARDSON...he needs to put on some weight and really work on his defense, but if he could become such a great player for Weber. He rarely misses badly and with some solid work in the gym and weight room this summer could come back a far better player.

Sixth...our incoming recruits and red-shirts. We have kinda forgotten about them; especially the red-shirts. I know we are all biting at the bit for Braxton to be on the floor. A big who can play with his back towards the basket and has great moves, but we have another red-shirt; Jeremiah Jefferson. I've heard a lot of positives about Jefferson, but we will just have to wait and see. He had a couple of injuries, but when he was healthy, from what I heard, he was pretty good and had caught up from missing most of his senior season. But...he has work to do. He isn't going to come in and be our saving grace next season, and honestly, neither will Braxton. It'll just be nice having a true center playing all season. Hajek was great, but he never quite made it to that level we needed him to get to. Injuries killed his development. Nonetheless, he finished the season great and really became a benefit to the program; however, I think we can expect Braxton to provide more next season, than what Hajek was able to do this season. Lastly, our incoming recruits seem like they could help the Cats a bit. Needless to say, between the incoming recruits and Braxton and Jefferson being available. I expect the Cats to have the FOY next season (I just went all Ian Fox on you guys).

Freshman:
C Zach Braxton 6-10 RFR
CG Jeremiah Jefferson RFR
PG McKay Cannon 21 year old FR
F/C Jordan Dallas 6-10 FR
F Emmanuel Nzekwesi 6-7 225lbs FR
G/F Juwan Williams 6-5 FR
Maybe one more...who knows

This is extremely tentative...but I feel the starters next season will be:
PG Senglin
SG Richardson
SF Gittens
PF Bolomboy
C Braxton

Hill will be a great asset coming off the bench. I think he will bring great energy and might end up having a really strong season. Because of Gittens defense we will definitely be seeing him starting. We need another lock down defender. Senglin is pretty good, but we need another one on the roster.

Rahe has said though...that every position is up for grabs. Nobody, right now, is going to red-shirt. He is bringing the guys in and is going to see who wants to compete and play. Every position is open. One other thing, he wants our team to be thicker and tougher. Every guy will come back thicker.

 

[Midmajor??]

It was very interesting to listen to the commentator last night. He talked about how Rahe said he had a redshirt that's going to have an impact next year. He raved about Jefferson and what he's going to bring to the team. Rahe Never mentioned anything about Bigs. I think Rahe is going to stick with small ball next year.

I see the following line up:

Bolomboy
Hill
Gittens
Jefferson/Golden
Senglin

I see Braxton coming in as a back up for Bolomboy. Olds was clear that Rahe wants to go to a smaller type line up and forgo the traditional big! I think that's why he went with a more euro type big in recruiting Dallas. If he was going back to a Trez type player, he would've recruited more traditional bigs. Maybe the key is to truly have two fours..... And eiliminate the "big" slot at 5?
I see us as a running transition team. We are heavy on 2 and 3's and really not focusing on 4 and 5's.
It could be interesting!

 

[AlumniWSU]

Glad this season is in the rear view mirror...it's been frustrating with lots of lowlights & a few highlights...blame for ugly part of it deserves being shared all around, it's not just one thing. But there is hope now looking forward to next season, with at least some improvement! :|

I disagree. I really see Braxton playing a major role for the Cats next season, and till he graduates. I can't believe this, but I'm actually agreeing with Tal that Braxton will be starting at the 5 next season. Rahe doesn't need to talk a lot about Big Zach, because the fan base knows full well what is coming and we couldn't be more excited. He is going to be huge for Weber State Basketball.

Jordan Dallas is not a stretch 5, or as you say, Euro Forward (Montana has done pretty damn good with two). He is a rebounder and defensive guy. Granted he wasn't needed to hit big shots, because he plays on a team full of athletes and shooters, but don't be mistaken Dallas is a tough kid who can bang in the post. He just needs to put on 30 or 40 lbs. Also, we are extremely lucky to have him. He got over looked and ended up calling us. When got him and he is going to make a lot of programs sad that we got him.

As for this Spring, it'll be interesting to see what happens. I like all of our recruits and know that 1 or 2 more will be coming this spring. We need guys who are fundamentally sound and can bring a team together. We desperately need a glu guy.

By the way I missed the sequence where Rahe was talking about Jefferson. Anyone want to write a quick summary about it?

I'm not going to disagree, because everything we recruit seems to be about guards. I've noticed that we aren't really recruiting bigs. We lose Hajek this year and Bolomboy next year. We have Dallas coming in who barely weighs 210 and then a couple of tweeters barely over 6'6"........ We got pushed around a lot in the paint this season....... Are they going to put some emphasis there or are we going to a more run and gun? I'm getting tired of us getting pushed in the middle...... I have visions of Collette and Bruenig.

 

[wazzuwildcat03]

I agree with Tal. If I had to guess a starting group for next year and first guys off the bench I would go with

Senglin JR
Richardson SO
Gittens JR
Bolomboy SR
Braxton FR

First 4 in
Hill JR
Golden SR
Baker SO
Jefferson FR

I know coach said nobody will redshirt, but I still think 2 of our new guys will. I think Cannon is a good bet since he comes home from his mission in June and might need time, then one of the other 3 will redshirt.

Rahe seems to be big on Hill..... I don't see him going from starting to the bench. I think he should, but I don't see that happening.

Bolomboy sr
Senglin jr
Gittens jr
Hill jr
Golden sr

First in
Braxton FR
Jefferson FR
Richardson FR
Coston Sr.
Hunter so

I don't see a ton of change..... I know there's a lot of talk, but Rahe isn't a big change guy! I really don't think that Golden is going anywhere..... He's a senior next year! I don't see Rahe moving him.

 

[SWWeatherCat]

Understatement.

From a WSU fan perspective, This was a dismal season. You don't have to take a shoe off to count worse seasons in our history. It's under the bridge now and the future does seem to be much brighter.

I agree with most everything that Tal has said here. Yes, last year the plan was to go smaller, but that was due to what players we had and not by preferred design. There is about a 98% chance that Braxton will be starting.

The most contested positions on the team will be the wing spots, 2 & 3. Gittens and Richardson may have the inside track, but it is only a slight advantage. The competition for those two spots and the remaining back up spots. will be intense. There is a chance that nobody red shirts. Although, that almost never happens.

What I want to see is improvement in all aspects of the game. I really don't think that it has been just one or two things. Although, interior defense and rebounding stand out the most to me. With Braxton and Bolomboy playing side by side and Hill plus one of the freshmen coming in off the bench, we should be a better rebounding team. We simply must be to improve. Passing out of the post and outside shooting must improve to limit the effectiveness of doubling up on our post players. Defense on the perimeter must get better to slow down the plethora of great shooters in the BSC.

I do believe that our coaches will get us there. We were so, so close at the end of the season and should be much improved next season.

 

[Rustynail]

I'm afraid next year will be more of the same.I really hope I'm dead wrong . Rahe is a nice guy.too nice.I think he's become too comfortable in his job. He's had 10 years to build a strong program and has done nothing to impress.Yeah,I know we went to the big dance last year for 1 and done.Even a blind dog finds a bone once in a while.We need a young,hungry coaching change to pull Weber over the top.We'll see what next season brings.I just find it hard to get my hopes up.We need to beat some other teams,besides the big sky ones.Will it ever happen,again?

 

[SWWeatherCat]

Rustynail, I share your worry and sentiment about the chances of a Rahe-coached Wildcat team. I'm getting very soured-- shocking, I know-- on the ability of Rahe's current staff. I don't share in the already growing enthusiasm and mantra "wait 'till next year!" Yes, I am excited about Braxton and Jefferson, as well as a few others, but I was also excited about some known talent this season. I don't believe or by into the excuses that this team is too young, too inexperienced, and rebuilding. I believe more than enough talent existed on this team to compete for the top 3-4 spots in the conference.

Montana was "rebuilding" every bit as much as Weber and probably even more so since they lost Twinkle. Hmmm...they're hosting (again) and will probably win (again) as the league and refs just seem to love them. I've whined a lot (period) about Rahe's teams not being able to compete well OOC/in-state but this year is more icing on the not being able to compete cake with Montana. This is not "breaking news" but when you actually looking at the vsMontana numbers, it's as depressing as the in-state games "that don't matter." In the last six seasons, Weber is 6-11 vs UM and Montana has ended Weber's NCAA chances in 5 of those 6 years. The 1 year Weber makes it is the year they don't have to face UM in the BSC tournament. In fact-- correct me if I'm wrong-- Rahe has NEVER beaten UM in the BSC tournament! You'd think that blind dog would find that bone at some point because he's such a great dog!

Without offering me purple koolaid from the tap, can someone tell me why I should be excited about their chances next season? I'll just laugh at you if you mention anything about the talent and experience Weber will have next year. I'll question your sanity if you tell me Weber has the best coach in the league.

 

[oldrunner]

One bad year and a few of you are ready to throw everyone under the bus and then jump off a tall building. It was a bad year for our team, not the end of civilization as we know it.

You can choose to be pessimistic if you want; "Oh, poor, poor pitiful us. We will never have a winning season again, unless we fire everyone and go through another 10 Craven's years."

I choose to look on the brighter side of things. "All of the issues we had in this, bad, year are correctable. We will get these things corrected, over the summer, and be right back on track."

There are no perfect coaches or perfect players. The only things that can approach perfection are process, determination, and attitude. Outcomes are just periodic pauses for evaluating the process.

I am very optimistic about the future. :rockon:

I also refuse to put a rosey glow on things, and am done giving Randy the benefit of the doubt. Although I wouldn't say I'm incredibly optimistic for next season, I will say that it's incredibly hard to go down from here, considering we are only losing Hajek, who had minimal impact anyway. We also showed signs of fight in the final three games, which bodes well for next season, despite pissing our pants during crunch time during the two OT losses.

 

[n.ogdencat]

Not trying to get into a pissing match with anyone on the forum, but after this season I'm more on the Rahe bandwagon than before. Yes, his inability to break a press or zone is absolutely mind-boggling, but it is really hard to say that our team didn't improve as the season went on. We have to remember that he is a system coach, much like Jerry Sloan and, of course, like Stew Morrill.

System coaches like to run lots of sets and aren't the greatest at making in game changes, but as the season went on. He started to make more and more. Against Eastern, the Cats, without a point guard on the floor, were actually breaking the press. Didn't help that after breaking the press the players slowed down and allowed Eastern to get back into their 3-2 zone, but lets all be honest, Hunter did a lot of good things, he was an offensive liability and we all know that Chris Golden is not a point guard. And even then, our team kept getting better. We all know Weber should have beaten Montana on Thursday night. You can't coach an 80% FT shooter not to miss in that situation. That was a freak thing.

As for OOC...so he can't beat Rose and Stew...very few people can. Also, we are talking about BYU here. Rose is their freaking best coach ever and their resources totally dwarf ours. Also, it is a destination school. USU...he is the master of Rahe's system. You can't beat the master of the system you run very often. I'm just glad we did. Both schoos are going to get their recruits.

Weber has to really work hard to get great recruits. Yes, we have awesome facilities, great fans (even though they are dying off and our administration isn't interested in building up the fan base more), but we are still in the Sky. Look at our RPI for the conference...the Weber State job isn't what it use to be. Thanks to our administration and Fooolerton we are on par with SUU and UVU now. That is my biggest concern. What happens when Rahe leaves? Who will want to come to Weber? The Weber gig is not what it use to be. That is not Rahe's fault, that is the fault of the administration (athletics) and the conference affiliation. Final thought...once again, and something I had to remind myself constantly...WEBER LOST the BIG SKY MVP a two-time 1st teamer (Berry), our three year starters at the 5 another 1st teamer (Tres), our PG and best defender, and perhaps the best leader from last years squad (Richardson), and a great glu guy and leader (Fulton). Between them there was 16 seasons of game experience gone. Coach readily admitted that he made a huge recruiting gaffe on multiple players. I know that is a sign of why Rahe isn't a good coach, but every coach, in every program has made mistakes. Not every player can be readily fitted into a program; especially a system.

Lastly...the Sky had a lot of senior laden teams. Sac, UNCO, NAU, PSU, Idaho, ISU, and dare I say Montana. Weber had 7 newbs and guys who didn't fit the mold of the team. If you look back two years, it is pretty evident that Weber was destined to having a down year. I didn't think it would be this bad, but it happened. Personally, I'm just glad we still have Rahe. Is he great...no, but he is good. I'm glad he is here, and frankly, you never know when a coach goes from being good to great. Next season I think we will be a force in the Sky. Yes, I want to see Weber beat USU at the Dee and pull off some wins in Utah County, but lets remember, Larry Farmer won a bucket and then destroyed the program. What is better?

As for players...Jeremy was better than expected. Joel, yes, it was rough to watch him at times, but can you really say he took a step back? He had more blocks, rebounds, points, steals, and assists this season. He learned how to get out of double teams and is become fairly mobile. Gittens is a lock down defender. Yes, he is very inconsistent on offense, but has some crazy skills and we all know we have solid recruits coming in. Next season the Cats have the pieces...I think we will make a major push and be back at the top of the Sky.

 

[WeberSki]

Jeez Tal, you've completely lost your mind.

What we have is, a poor man's Stew Morrill, Who By the way he won 1 NCAA game his entire career and is being forced out of Logan much like Mcbride was let go @ Weber years ago. Go ahead jump on that bandwagon.

 

[n.ogdencat]

Jeez Tal, you've completely lost your mind.

What we have is a poor man's Stew Morrill clone. By the way he won 1 NCAA game his entire career. Go ahead jump on that bandwagon.

Well...that's definitely a possibility. I've always been on the edge. :lol:

But, my question stands...who wants the Weber job? It is definitely not what it use to be.

Ski, I really feel the Cats are on the edge of becoming something special. Weber needs 1 or 2 players to really step up and this team will become really good.

 

[wsucatfan]

Ski, so what do you suggest, kick Rahe to the curb after one bad year? I think we have been pretty spoiled at WSU. Sure this year sucked but I am optimistic enough to trust in Rahe, his system, and the recruits he has coming into the program. Tal made some good (fair) points, all you did is call him crazy.

 

[Da Bears]

Wow! Tough forum! Rahe laid an egg this year, but will come back next year with an attitude! I think it's ludicrous to not believe that there are thousands of coaches who would jump for the Weber job! It's still a very good position.

I know the season was difficult, but looking forward to getting the board back to a semi positive position. Next year is going to be an improvement! Significant improvement!

 

[Webergrad02]

I want to see us land an assistant like Montana landed Ken Bone last year. I think that would really help Randy, whether or not he will take the help that's another story. I really think the Beckner loss was huge for us this year. The Weber job is still a good job especially considering the current pay of coach Rahe. I actually feel that the level of head coaches has increased in the Big Sky the last few years.

I really can't get caught up in the "we're on the brink of something special" talk. The last few games were proof that we are every bit as talented as Montana and Eastern. We lost both of those games due to mental toughness and discipline. I really think the tail has started to wag the dog with Weber. I don't remember a Rahe coached team that liked to chest pound and celebrate while losing like we did this year. I think there is an element of discipline that is missing. I remember when Sessions or Wheelright would get carried away and coach would sit their butts down and let them have it.

Even with the new players and recruits coming in, I am not sure we will be a lot better until we get back to disciplined basketball. Senglin is a special talent and I think we see him as the clear leader next year. I hope he can help the team develop a killer instinct. Again, that is a mental aspect of the game that we are lacking.

 

[sacstateman]

You guys will be improved next year but in my opinion what you really need is to find a point guard who can give you 10 pts and 6 assists per game.......then you can move Senglin where he belongs......the rest of your players will fill in the gaps but the BSC is and always will be a guard dominated league.....Bolomboy will get his boards and pts, I think Braxton fills a hole and all you have to do is pick your best shooter left and stick him at the 3 and roll out the ball......the old KISS theory....
