I also wish the best for Cam Satterwhite. But as Fr. Riordan said frequently, "The handwriting was on the wall." It appears to me that the coaches want four players on the perimeter who can be both a threat to drive or sink the three. Williamson and Skokna are, Cam was not a three point shooter. His percentage over two years was slightly over 25%.

I disagree with previous post. I've seen Satterwhite in practice and he could pour in three pointers.... It seems to me that he was given more playing time only after he clearly accepted not putting up shots, but playing defense first and passing to others who had the green light. He has a huge wingspan and was developing defensive skills that PM wants to see first. His offensive skills still remain untapped, but I think they are in there. I hope he finds success elsewhere, but feel bad that it din't happen here, esp. within the framework of team play we seem to espouse.
I'll always remember the freethrows he hit in Gainesville..... Clutch and emotion filled.
Good luck Cam, good things will come for you.

In the past two years we’ve lost Satterwhite, Avery, Chastain, Kirby, and Rajala. This starting lineup would have won us the Horizon League... Crazy how much better we’ve gotten when you see this list and don’t even get bothered or worried.

I think the way most teams play in this league was not a really great match for Satterwhite's game. He seems like more of a Mountain West, Pac 12, Big East, ACC type player, where offense is stressed more.

Good luck to him.

I apologize if this has already been posted but I just saw an article written by Maurice Kirby about ten days ago.

Winning the Horizon is definitely a bit optimistic haha. I feel like of talent lost Chastain was the one that could have had the most impact.

Avery and Satterwhite were similar in a lot of ways. Slasher types who could finish around the basket but didn't have much of a jump shot (Satterwhite was 15 for 59 from 3 and 52 for 138 total in two years...). I loved the flashes of his potential, but think a different level might be better for him. If he can work on his handles and improve his shot during his redshirt year he can be a pretty great player at the right level.

I agree with your post overall, but I've seen a lot of guys look like Reggie Miller in practice who couldn't hit the broad side of the barn in a game.

Satterwhite committed to Northern Arizona. Best of luck to him.

Interestingly, a pretty heavy Chicago presence on the team. Last year's roster had 4 players with Chicago listed as their hometown. Finished a rough 5-27 overall but look to be returning a lot. Best of luck to Cam!
