Early Season Observations

I'm not a voracious Digs reader so apologies if others have made the same observations or comments.

1) David Terrell really, really, really needs to step up. I thought he was a slasher/distributor and would develop his ball handling and shooter, boy was I off. He has made 5 3FG in 42 career games, yes that's a made 3 every 8 games, and is a career 21% 3FG% shooter, even Kevin Henderson is like "damn". He has 76 TO's and 76 Assists in his career, a 1:1 A/TO ratio - not great and he has averaged 1.7 boards his career, not anything spectacular for a 6-4 guard. He is shooting a paltry 35.7% from FT line this year. If I'm an opposing coach, I stay off him 5 feet, dare him to shoot or just foul if he tries to drive.
2) Why does Hebb get 10.7 minutes a game? Cant those minutes go to Bynum or Barnes instead. I am sure those 2 guys can absorb an extra 5 minutes a game each. and will those guys get you more than 1.6 points in 10 minutes? Absolutely. Hebb has taken 1 3FG all year and can't get his own shot. If you split his minutes and amongst those 2 plus Thomas and you are way ahead. We don't have the All-CUSA good guy or hustle award, its about wins and that's it.
3) The 2 headed monster of Kalu/Hamilton is getting 30 minutes a game and delivering 10.1 points and 7.6 boards - that's not bad, if that was a single player, that would be very respectable. Never thought our big guys would NOT be a liability this season and Terrell would.

just curious to gage your thoughts what El Paso can realistically land in the future. the El Paso Chihuahuahus are now entering it's 5th season and has been a tremendous succes. Top Golf just recently opened as well. Mountians Star Sports also just announced a new pro soccer team in hopes of luring MLS down the road. Of course we know what's going with the quality of Life bonds and the Arena fiasco. Unfortunately we also had no chance in landing Amazon's second headquarters.

This is on Wilson

The only one who can fix this is Heather Wilson. Right now her athletic department is run by the worst AD in D1. Everyday Senter is employed the situation is only going to get worse. This is all on Wilson now. She has an AD who isn't a leader, can't fundraiser, thinks small and makes terrible hires. He's incompetent. She has to pull the plug and get somebody competent to start fixing this mess. The heat needs to be turned up on Wilson to make a move.

OT Mayoral Candidates

https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/n...or-candidate-cassandra-hernandez/75451317007/

While we bicker and complain about Trump and Biden, our local politicians have a huge impact on our quality of life. I find it interesting that this lady is running for Mayor and fails to mention or address the fact that she charged $6,700 to her city gas card. But hey, on the good side she wants to build the arena.
