Welcome Dola Adebayo

Naturally, Kenpom has ranked players on % of jump balls won!

Adebayo is ranked #124 out of 660+ players and is 6-3 this year (data taken before the VT game), and 33-22 over his college career.

Castro of GW is ranked #10 (36-12 career, 8-2 this year).

That’s a lot of effort for something that doesn’t even really matter since the possession arrow goes to the loser of the jump ball.

I know what you're saying, but in his book about the scramble defense, Coach L talked about getting as many more persons as possible.

Between the tip off with Dola, and using Stas at the end of a game where we're being pressed (where the inbound pass might mean a victory), I like that Tony is doing everything to get as much as possible out of this roster.

Hard to make changes to the starting lineup while you are winning. I’ll be curious if he’s starting vs ODU or not.

Starting or coming off the bench, this team has a 6-8, 210-pound hole where our 4-man was supposed to be. Between now and the LaSalle game, the staff needs to figure out how to get the best out of him because we don’t have anybody else on the roster with his combination of size and athleticism and playing 4 guards most of the game won’t cut it against teams with legit size.
