Jenifer might not be having the best AAU season to date and his stock may be slipping but keep in mind he likely will not be counted on to play significant minutes until he is an upperclassman. As a freshman he would have Caupain as a junior and Cobb as a senior ahead of him, not to mention the...

Fans tend to say "add 15/20/25 pounds" in conversation about a player as if it is is easy to do. That is very, very difficult for anyone to do, let alone someone with a very narrow frame and base like Shaq. You need to have the bone structure that enables you to add that type of weight. Some...

I tend to agree with you. Mick starts the guys he trusts on defense. We would all like to see Sanders and Guyn play secondary roles but unless some of the more offensively gifted players make huge strides defensively, I think they are going to be playing much more prominent roles than many of...

you think they are going to have a 12-13 man rotation? it is difficult to play 10 people, let alone 12-13 there will absolutely be at least 1 redshirt without any injuries. Injuries obviously could force more than that.

again, you are turning this into something i am not saying, therefore i do not think you know i am saying. i'm not going to argue who is the most consistent performer on the team. that is not the point of my statement. again, you are turning this into physical consistency and not mental...

that is not what i am arguing. i am saying he doesn't have that mentality. you are arguing the physical results, i am arguing the mentality. if you are arguing "jr/sr years" though- he just finished his 3rd year in the program. he already is the age you are advocating for as his excuse.

Shaq doesn't have the attitude and mindset to be an alpha or go to guy. Consistency is a massive issue with him in term of his mental approach and aggressiveness. Its just not in everyone. If he leads the team in scoring it will be because other guys haven't progressed as expected.

everyone falls in love with the new guy and tends to overstate their abilities and understate the abilities of bench players already in the system.

It is crazy how much many of you are overlooking Kevin Johnson. The coaching staff thinks he is going to be the leading scorer on the team next year.

can your provide links to the highlights?

don't you kind of contradict yourself when you spend the first paragraph talking about Lawrence's 5 star hype and people getting too caught up in the grading system...then the second paragraph talking about Clark being improperly graded and being a 5 star talent?

Who knows- that may be the case- he still very well could have gotten booted because he made a lot of poor decisions his only year at UC. Being the guy outside of Yancy in the fight who was throwing the most visible punches (although none were landed) certainly didn't help his public perception...

Lawrence played plenty at the 4 this year with Jackson at the 5. He did not exclusively play the 5. He had plenty of opps 15 feet out to put it on the floor and he never did. There is a difference between telling people to be patient on a SG with great form (Johnson) with his shot than a...

when did he ever display decent handles or a decent shot? he put the ball on the floor one time and converted and that was against new mexico. he shot 33% from the field shooting primarily 12 footers. next year's team was going to be reliant on Caupain and Johnson taking the next step with...

looks like there is a lot of pressure of Sanders now

I didn't realize that using "sir" twice in one post in a patronizing manner made you a grown man and me a child. So enlightening.

when you say you have watched "hours" of film on him and make a loose comparison of your "eye for talent" to pro coaches and scouts, then yes, i am going to argue with you.

just because you have basketball instincts and/or display a positive in-game iq in a HIGHLIGHT film does not mean you have good grades. there is no correlation between the two. two entirely different things and an absurd assumption to make.

so based on watching youtube videos you have deduced that 1) he has good grades (no idea how or why you can possibly make this assertion or conclusion) and 2) that he will start over not only Caupain, but Guyn who started all 34 games this year? how on earth do you possibly make these...

Maybe everyone should stop trying switch the natural position of the player that is coming in. You'd think after the success that Justin Jackson had this year after finally embracing his true college position rather than trying to be a stretch player for 3 years - we witnessed a pretty strong...
