Part of running actions for Cattoor...

Is doing the things that make those actions work. If you're off on timing or not in the right spot, you can call all the plays you'd like but he has to run them. If it's a simple play with simple actions then it's easy to defend, so you're not gonna catch anyone by surprise. So he needs to be a player within those actions. Cattoor, having been around for a long time, knows how to set everything up, read his defender and the pace everything needs to run. So yes, you're correct in the Nickel is essentially a free shooter right now, but it's not necessarily due to how MY is using him, but how well he is running the actions that are designed to get him open.

On TTL last night, MY said he expects Mekhi Long to start vs. Valpo.**

I believe he started the 2nd half in the last game?**

Not having Pedulla today could change things.**

I wouldn't be surprised if it is for Nickel...
GCHokie34 • 12/08/23 05:11 PM ET
I like two dribblers out there at all times.
OrlandoHokie • 12/08/23 10:38 PM ET
I'm surrpsied with the role of Collins as backup PG now
GretnaHokie • 12/08/23 06:22 PM ET
I was as well. I think that was just a temp thing IMO.
chagerma • 12/08/23 08:27 PM ET
It could definitely continue...
GCHokie34 • 12/08/23 06:58 PM ET
I would like to see us run some Cattoor-like actions for Nickel

Been expecting that change. He played almost 2X

Just glad to see CMY isnt overcommitted to the same 5 forever
Vippie1 • 12/08/23 04:39 PM ET
I don't know exactly where he fits, but I love his game.

The kind of athleticism we need more of!**

Water finds its own level and the puzzle parts tend to come together. I

I’d like to see him, Beran, and Kidd on the floor more
soflahokie • 12/08/23 02:33 PM ET
Don't think Collins is "clearly" Pedullas backup.
mygreenbaypackers • 12/08/23 05:15 PM ET
They tried this sparingly with Auburn and I **think** some with FAU
GCHokie34 • 12/08/23 05:04 PM ET
Beran has to give us something for this lineup to work otherwise you are
millmtnhokie • 12/08/23 04:03 PM ET
MY is really hesitant to play Long at the wing, but seems like....
vtbball80 • 12/08/23 02:46 PM ET
He’s been getting more minutes at the 4 past few games
millmtnhokie • 12/08/23 02:15 PM ET
Yep. Collins will probably be the first man off the bench.
RJHokie • 12/08/23 01:58 PM ET
Pedulla, Cattoor, Nickel, Long, Kidd should be the starting 5 imo**
kingofcassell • 12/08/23 01:43 PM ET
Yes, but Nickel is gonna to have to prove worth on the offensive end....
bghokie • 12/08/23 04:36 PM ET
Nickel needs to be 6th man while he gains experience and has some
