I wanted to make this post giving the up most credit first to the guards on our team, Ennis, Booth, Arch, and Hilliard. As this team heads into the postseason and the regular season has come to an end I have to give our guards a huge amount of credit. Not only have they all improved since last year, they ALL got better in season as well. I can sit here an post that Arch took home co BE POY, but it is really so much more than that. Ennis has really impressed me over that last ten games. Taking notice of his defense he brings it everyday. What I was really impressed with last Saturday is that after he was dunked on he got right back up and went right after Rysheed Jordan and did indeed out play him, Ennis is one tough kid on the court and mentally. He makes some tough shots. Reverse that dunk sequence with Rysheed and Ennis. If Ennis did that to Rysheed he would fold mentally, Ennis didn't, that's a huge amount of toughness and maturity. as well.
Booth has really impressed me a ton this year. I had higher expectations for him than some. He looks like he really hit his stride mid way through. I never thought he hit a freshman wall, he has been so productive in the time he has given.
DH I will once admit I was so wrong about him. He has helped me loom at players differently when I go to watch players play. He is a model of consistency in what you want in your guard and in my opinion, the best player on your team. To me, he is a five tool player, shoot, pass, handle, defend, and lead. He has had a great year and deserves everything thing he gets, really a true Villanova guard. I will miss watching him when he graduates. He really should be a blueprint for any guard recruit. You want to improve on a yearly basis at you school of choice, look at how DH had improved each year. I am serious about the statement. I will not be shocked if he is on an NBA roster come fall time.
Arch= BE POY, speaks for itself.
Lastly, I have to give the staff huge credit. These guards don't improve each year without the staff we have, Jay, Baker, Ashley, and other have done a tremendous job year round with these players. I have gotten to the point where I expect to see all of our players improve year round because of the vision and commitment of the staff.
Awesome job by all involved.
