Opened -12.5 and immediately jumped to -15.5.
As you all know, I was probably the one that got the Jenifer debate going back in November (sorry Bulldog if I'm stealing your thunder....maybe it was you, but I think it was me). Not once did I think he should replace Troy as starter. But, I definitely think he should be north of 10 minutes a game. That doesn't mean Troy is the one to give up the 10 minutes. I would love to see JJ and Troy together some.
What cracks me up about comments in here, is Jenifer basically gets just one single mistake in each game and he's garbage and not ready. If he has 1 turnover (and he's only had one in the last 9 games), he turns the ball over too much. He gets one shot, and by God, if it doesn't go in, he shoots too much, and he's a horrible shooter. And, if he doesn't do either of those two things wrong, someone will see three defensive things he did wrong. He's the most closely scrutinized recruit that I've ever seen. On the flip side, Troy, in his abundance of minutes, can do some things well and that's all we will hear about. However, if you watch him as intently as you do Jenifer, you'll notice a lot of mistakes, definitely defensively, and this year, a lot of offensive issues and definitely crunch time issues. It's a complete double standard. What everyone needs to do, is quit judging Jenifer based on your dislike of me and Bulldog, and judge him on his performance. Give him more than one missed shot, or one turnover before you call him not ready.
We've seen lots of Cronin recruits who are not ready, and Jenifer is not one of them. People keep saying that Caupain is the better shooter, but the stats don't say that. You can't keep flip-flopping back and forth from the eye-test to stats to argue whichever method agrees with your stance. This team's performance screams more time for Jenifer. If it's an attitude issue, Mick has never mentioned that, but that would be a reason to keep him locked on the bench. In the last 9-10 games, even Jenifer's assist to turnover rate has been way better than Caupains.
In summary, I can't speak for Bulldog, but I'm surely not ready to insert Jenifer into the starting lineup, just increase his minutes. But, please quit taking his few mistakes and blowing them out of proportion. He's definitely going to make more mistakes, as is every player. He has performed admirably as a young freshman.
id say three point shooting, mid range shooting, pull up shooting, free throws, rebounding, and defense (his height makes him hard to shoot over for opposing point guards. Now i like jennifer but lets not act like troy is scrub. I still will argue troy is hands down our best player
Well, without going back and revisiting every game, that's an easy one to answer since it was the last game he played against Tulsa. He played outstanding!Besides the cupcakes...what game did he have you thinking "wow that was an admirable performance". I don't get to watch every game her in CT, and I'm not saying he couldn't use a few more minutes, but I've yet to see him so much in his time on the court (as limited as it has been)
I really like what jenifer did against smu!

kj still getting starter minutes? #10 weakest guard on team I'll take kj over himDude Caupain is and always will be the pg, jenifer is not going to play till a jr get over it and stop talking about this bs every page it get old as hell....,.
So did I. He was about the only one who did not contribute to a horrible loss.
Got em!!!!
Yea I wasn't able to watch that one. Like I said I'm not saying he doesn't need more minutes I just haven't witnessed the second coming like some other seem to think they have
I just know he wouldn't choked and passed into double team. He's played bigger aau games than #10 has played college games. Pretty sure his aau summer circuit team a give us run for moneyIf jenifer would of played we lose by 10, I'll take the 3 point loss any day.....
I'm saying he needs to start until he shits the bed like #10. Jenifer at 5'6 also might be best finisher in paint. I'm not moving #10 to bench YET. He's no longer even my starting 2 guard.
Jenifer
Cobb
#10
Evans(can't even start Moore in my dreams)
Clark
