Donny Daniels: Mid Term Grade

I’m not at practice so I don’t know how much he’s brought in. Someone though, has taught Rob about keeping the ball high and looking for the pass! I’ve seen ZERO evidence of game coaching from here in Sequim. Too early to tell about recruiting….Zach and Max pointed out who they like in their post so that could be a big test!!! I truely miss Rice but not Grier at all.

as both a big man coach and recruiter. Our two true “big men” Sacre and Dower have had outstanding improvements. I’d almost give him an A+ just for finally being able to tap Rob’s enormous talent. Looking at Dower’s play right now it’s hard to imagine how anyone could redshirt him. And from a recruiting standpoint, how much did Daniels have to do with sealing the deal with GBJ, of whom I can barely contain my excitement for
? I don’t doubt Jr would be a Golden Bear next year if Daniels hadnt transferred his recruiting prowess our way. No doubt too early to tell but thumbs up!

Daniels seems to have done his magic with Robert Sacre, but what he can’t control is how Sacre gets the ball from his guards. He’s bobbled more than his share of passes and players like Meech often don’t have a clue about how to get him the ball.
He has failed somewhat with Kellly. The kid is looking over his shoulder and still playing timid. Kelly should be scoring from inside and out. He should be getting double-doubles every game and making some intimidating blocks. But I don’t see it yet.
Daniels has failed with Elias , big time, assuming that Elias is considered a big. Elias is slow, paunchy, predictable (that dipping shoulder foul that the refs call every time). He often blows put backs and muffs unguarded threes and is like an island out there with four unknown teammates.
So overall, Daniels record is one win (Sacre) and two losses (Kelly) and (Elias).
