Elijah Thomas - was hoping he would learn and mature


Nov 9, 2018, 8:51 PM

He is so critical to the cause. Expected him to make a jump this year and learn to play solid (non fouling) defense. Sometimes its ok to give up a basket.
Two games in and it does not appear to be the case.

Citadel. 4 fouls in just over a half game. (24 min)
4 fouls in limited playing time again tonight.

We have few options with big men. Need to be able to count on the ones we have to stay in the game.
I love in his potential. But a long time ago, a coach told the the definition of the word potential.
“Someone who currently is not worth much”.
Stay in the game ET.

The officials began calling absurdly tight

In the second half, after letting the teams play in the first half. Let's face it, first few games of the year, teams and officials are finding their footing, so to speak.

You must not be aware that he was injured all preseason.

He did not practice for most of the preseason, and did not play in the preseason games. He was a game time decision for our season opener against the Citadel. So consider these first two games his preseason.

The coaches have been very pleased with his work ethic and improvement during spring and summer workouts. Brownell has said more than once that Eli has worked as hard as anyone on his game and in the weight room, and has also developed as a team leader. I think you will be very pleased with Eli's season this year.

Ouch ... if he hadn't been a big force last year , I doubt we would have won 25 or so games .

Come on, you now that two games is going to tell the tale of the whole season. It's the way it works.
