Let me clarify, as I understand it, the whole point of CKC's high press style is to disrupt teams from getting into their set offense. So, if the LVs can't throw opponents off (or get them out of their comfort zone, or break their rhythm, etc. etc.), then Houston we have a problem.I just think that whole situation was too fraught and too far gone once Kellie was fired. I trust that the current staff read it all correctly. I don't really blame them for this one.
We've talked about this before and I disagree about surprising anyone or throwing opponents off. This will be nothing they haven't known we were going to do since last spring, they've all seen it before, probably considered implementing it themselves. I don't think it will be chess against top opponents, I think it will be a talent show. Whoever has enough talent to control tempo wins. Period.
Which brings us back to the thread topic - landing truly elite recruits. Until we do, no system is matching the big dogs on a regular basis.
Yes and don't forget to bring up Shannon Bobbitt for the height one off. Everyone's got that one exception ready to roll. But that's all they are. Odds are the rankings and offers are your clue.
The chess match will be over who controls the tempo- can teams force CKC out her system by breaking the press, dominating the boards, finding gaps to exploit and when that happens how do the LVs respond.
