Cornish is a second swing and miss, it seems like.
I don't understand the approach at all. If a guy can't contribute at all at Maryland or a very bad Louisville team, what's the likelihood he's a contributor in the MAC. There's just no way that the 10th guy in a P5 rotation is magically a difference maker for us. The gap just isn't that substantial between a good MAC team and a bad P5 team.
I hope I jumped the gun. But I think the track record of non-contributors at the P5 level being difference makers in the MAC isn't great. I just don't think the gap is that big between the bottom/mid P5 teams and the top of the MAC.
What's irrational about that?
Honestly, I thought this was sarcasm.
12 pts, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block in 19 minutes in his 3rd game is a swing and miss?
These posts are a swing and miss. It's clear he needs more PT.
Aren't you busy over on the football board, or is your three week meltdown calling for firings over a potential 10 win team over?
Like I said, I hope I'm wrong about Cornish. But the track record and early signs aren't great. A few things:
1. Every season Boals starts with a big rotation and shortens the bench substantially once the season goes on. Cornish only cracked 10 minutes per game in a blowout win. Not a lot of guys I can remember that went from end of the rotation guys to big contributors during the course of the year under Boals. His minutes aren't encouraging.
2. When he plays, he's been a high volume, low efficiency player. He's only shooting 41% from the field, 20% from three, and turns the ball over 12% of the time he touches it. He's basically last on the team in winshares and winshares per 40. Only Estis and Corna behind him.
Happy to be wrong, and hope it's just a sample size thing. Those advanced stats are trending in the right direction from his time at Maryland (and his assist rate is way, way up -- he managed to never record an assist in 100 minutes at Maryland), so that's promising.
But I'd like to see the data on the number of guys who had such low rate stats across 100 minutes in a major conference, and turned out to be above average in a lower conference. I suspect it's not a very long list.
