We need a leader

Just my humble opinion, but this past season BU lacked a leader and I think we need someone to step up and fill that role early. In another thread here Creighton's coach was quoted to have expressed the same need.

Who's it going to be the Braves? For my money Andrew Warren should fill that role and the sooner the better. I know some here will argue that Daniel and Jeremy were leaders last year. Maybe so, but I think they were quiet lead by example leaders. Nothing wrong with that, but I really think we need a take charge guy and I think Andrew is perfect to fill that role for the next two seasons. Opinions?
 
I agree with Lakeview... I have also said this on previous posts... Sammy will be the leader of this team. I think that Andrew is the lead by example type of player. not a knock on AW by any means...

Agree with your comments re: the lack of vocal leadership this past year. IMO, your team captains should provide that type of leadership.

Not to change the direction of this thread, but perhaps the more pertinent question is who the captain(s) of the team will be next year. I vote for Theron and Andrew.

We had 3 captains last year. Why not include Sammy as a captain?
 
Sammy and Andrew. Sammy exudes leadership. Heck, when DR was out he practically willed this team to a near-win against Drake and a win against Evansville. Andrew has similar qualities as well.

You may be right, Ben. That was my problem with last year's team. Yes, we did have lead by example types, but I really think we need a vocal leader this year. If not AW then SM will be fine. Just so someone fills that role.
 
Theron is a more outwardly vocal/emotional player and would be the best vocal leader among the likely starters. (SM AW TW) It would be nice for AW to fill that role, but I'm not sure...

Captains, I can certainly see TW and SS

I would have to agree that SamMan seems to be a sprkplug and is not afraid to get in peoples faces even seen that this past year as a freshman. AW, in my opinion would be more like JC as far as leading-great example on how to get it done but, I may be wrong here, I don't see him being that vocal. TW may very well be able to provide that vocal leadership also. A team really needs both types of leadership.
 
I agree completely. Last years team completely lacked the "get in your face" type. Sometimes a team needs someone to grab some jerseys in the huddle and fire it up. I agree with some that AW won't necessarily be that guy. He'll be great as an example of leaving it all on the floor but I think Sammy will be the one to step up and get vocal.

Agreed that SamM and Theron should be the "vocal" leaders and AW will have no problem being the lead-by-example player!

Captains......AW, TW, and SS.

Its time for SS to step up! He is the senior member of this team! He has been here 5 yrs. through the good and the bad! He has shown he has the toughness to come back from two injurys and play hard! He's smart both on and off the court. He conducts himself as a player/student who young players look up to. He is a team player, the first to congraduate a player (players), plays hard, gives his all, and is very supportive of the coachs and the school! After the yr. we had, SS could be the leader this team needs both on and off the court!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
IMO, Jeremy was our leader by example this past season. He wasn't selfish and he didn't force near as many bad shots as DR in critical parts of key games. IMO, Sam will be a great emotional leader and AW can fill the leader by example role.

In South Padre I was elected/appointed as the "Director of excitement"......will that help. :)

OK probably not......to me its Singh. Even though he isn't a starter he is ALWAYS into the game and is usually the first guy off the bench to greet the guys during a timeout.

I like the idea of Sam Singh as a captain. He would be a very good and deserving captain. I brought up Maniscalco for captain for the obvious outward leadership he shows.. and.... Assuming TW and AW are captains next year; Maniscalco as a captain would give us a Senior, Junior, and a Sophomore as captains which I think would provide continuity to the team leadership for future years.

How could I have forgotten that??? Senior moment I guess... ;)

I think the appointment was primarily because of your constant courtside chatter with the officials, opposing coaches and players during the tournament. Hard to ignore your comments when there's only 100 people in attendance at the game!
