theres is a reason someone his size doesn't get drafted

dude there is no right or wrong answer about what his opinion is of bobbitt. its his opinion and its not objectively wrong. for every player that has been on this team ever, i am sure there is at least one fan who has had a positive experience with them and at least one who has had a negative...

mick always says that satterfield was pound for pound the toughest player he has ever coached. also references on his radio show a lot of times (when talking about cashmere needed to become a floor leader), how even though he was a freshman, he was the floor leader as a freshman (not team...

sounds like UC is done with point guard types for the '13 class

and take 3 combo guards? why would morris want to come here with 2 other guys playing the identical position.

i would guess that coming off a year when he was unable to convince any high school kids to commit to UC that he wanted, he had a pool of 5 or 6 guards he liked and was going to take the first two that were willing to commit. i think if morris was willing to commit 4 weeks ago he would have...

omg omg a freshman in college who got an underage drinking ticket! no way!!! he must be a horrible kid!!!

recruiting big men is not easy at all, especially considering uc's current role in the middle tier of the big east hierarchy. however, i think mick's biggest shortcoming clearly has been that he never over-recruited yancy gates. by that, he never brought in anyone that was able to push him for...

waiters didn't start because a 3 year senior starter in scoop jardine was ahead of him. parker is a senior and will start. parker is not the purebred scorer than waiters is. waiters contribution this year was a lot more comparable to SK's last year than parker's contribution or abilities ever...

there was a definite talent discrepancy. uc had no player who was capable of doing what deshaun thomas could do, nor a player who could guard him. also, there was a clear skill differential between sullinger and gates.

how do you not have parker in the starting lineup?

i am excited for shaq...but how can anyone say he is one of our best 5 without ever seeing him step foot on a college floor one time? no one has any idea if he can guard in the big east. lets temper our expectations on him for a minute here.

my 2 cents- mick previously has spent a lot of time recruiting guys like you mentioned above (especially marquis teague) as wound up on the short end. right now, 5 star kids who are not born and raised in cincinnati (yancy) or dropped by many schools due to numerous eligibility/off court...

absolutely zero chance that parker is not starting for this team. shaq will be in the rotation. keep in mind he has never guarded a the big east level yet. give him time.

why closing him off for 2 years from now?

no. travel problems or something

but he doesn't even rebound his area well. he doesn't "go after" balls in his area or within his reach. he waits for the ball to come to him.

the thing is- he doesn't even rebound his area aggressively or well for his area. just because he is 6'10 and can block shots doesn't mean he is a good rebounder.

i agree with all of this except about gaines. I've been hearing from my people who have seen the sanctioned team workouts and the open gyms that gaines just isn't there yet and they don't expect him to play much this year. they think jackson is going to have to play 30 minutes a game. cheikh...

agreed. i apologize for my role. i should have stopped responding a long while back.
