I understand that. My issue is some are not evaluating his play but speculating about his character without any direct knowledge.

I'm sure Mick and staff assess everyone's viability after each season.

direct knowledge? have you seen his ass moping around all over the place?

how about his suspension?

guy is a terrible player and a chemistry negative rather than positive. dump his ass.

Way to early to come to that conclusion. Haven't even seen Scott in a game yet.

I seen him in high school couple times. I stay in Georgia. He's raw but will give you at least the hustle and length. Moore might dominate next 2yrs I'm still gambling on Scott to be more productive for role I need him on this team.

Last year he was a freshman more than likely home sick. Probably signed assuming a fellow new yorker Lawrence would've still been on team. He seems like a guy that needs to be around friends that look up to him. He's not getting that here. Still this year his attitude has been phenomenal. I'll rather a guy pouting acting like a bitch on bench because he's not playing over a guy that smiles when he misses the game winning shot.

That was last year. He has had no issues since that time. IN Mick's post game last night he mentioned that Quad told him that he had to mention that Troy had a nice block for a guy who can't jump. I'd say he has been anything but a problem this year. Has he been effective, no. But I do remember a game this year when he tore it up. Your chemistry negative comment is speculative at best. As far as moping I'm sure his career has not gone as he would like but Mick's comment indicates he gets along very well with his teammates.

the only thing quadri will ever dominate is a dermatologist's nightmares.

a large majority of what we do here is speculation, chief. wasting a scholarship on a guy who's not talented enough to play is in itself a problem. he's torn it up? you must consider 10 points in a 50 point win against either a 6-22 SWAC team or a 9-20 northeastern conference (whose initials i don't even know) team. real impressive.

Mick made the decision to red shirt Scott based on wanting Moore to add depth at the 4 this year and Scott being given a additional year to grow and develope.

I've tried to ask around to see if anyone new how Scott does against our guys at practice but have heard very little. Now Washington on the other hand has been a beast I've heard.

You want to speculate about his game I'm find with that but to put out BS about a guys character should be off limits. You think his scholarship could be put to better use that is fine as well. But to indicate he is a team problem or a chemistry negative is BS. Fine you think the cats would be better off without him I'm sure your not the only one. No need to justify it with a bunch of speculative BS. He has not played well. Let's leave it at that.

Yeah let's not take ourselves too seriously here. It's a public message board not a court of law. Unless someone on here used to coach college basketball, everyone's input is more or less speculation.

You want to speculate about how he will be as a player that's fine. My only issue was why take shots at his character? You think that's alright?

nah, let's not leave it at that. when a kid mopes around the court and performs like shit his body language is worth mentioning. character absolutely is fair game. he has pursued a public path and the public thus judges him.

we're one year removed from his suspension and he still mopes around like a child who dropped his ice cream cone. there's no reason to believe he's a substantially different person from the last one we saw.

well, let's be clear - we're not speculating on him as a player. that's pretty obvious. he blows.

and yes, it's absolutely fair to judge someone's character from his actions. if you don't want the public to judge you, stay out of the public eye.

Well I guess we're not going to find anything to agree on Ace so have a good evening.

I think Moore character has been excellent when you consider his play. Madman I can tell you don't follow the game well. Could you imagine the attitudes of Jordan, magic, bird, know be, LeBron if they was playing like shit and was buried on mediocre team bench. When he lose it and punch a player at practice then we have a problem

Yikes. Not my favorite comparison there. If you're looking for a comparison for Quadri, I'd say Ronald Allen is your best bet. But then again Ronald never moped around and he got shit for playing time

yikes - i hope you're not a UC graduate.

there's a massive difference between players who don't suck and quadri. that difference is the fact that quadri blows. you're talking about entirely different scenarios.

if gary plays like shit and is pissed off about it, that can be seen as a good thing. when a garbage player who blows acts all pouty and pissed off, it's a negative.

a much more equivalent scenario would be your trash ass 3rd string QB acting like a mopey bitch - shut your mouth and know your role.

Moore could've went to ANY school on east coast he was supposed to be better than a end of bench guy. Had couple big games against KAT wheresome say Moore won battle. I'm cool on him and wish him nothing but best at ANOTHER school but he's not chop liver

 

[Madman81]

lawrence was supposed to be great too. who gives a shit? once they're horrible, they absolutely are chopped liver.

All this Quadri talk is a joke. #1 we are playing with 10 active players and one red shirt. We aren't even going to fill 13 scholarships next year. Therefore we won't need to open up an ADDITIONAL scholarship to potentially bring in a 14th. Come on people. ..use your head.

The only two reasons Quadri would go would be playing time (own decision) or he is a cancer in the locker room. To be a cancer in the locker room you must have some level of significance come game time which Q does not.

That being said there were a couple of games in a row where he was needed and played well. Bigs don't grow on trees. Depth at the 4 and 5 is not something you want to give away.

Give the kid a break. If he punches a horse...then we can talk

My thoughts exactly. Man if we judged every kid by how they play there first two years, we'd be dropping kids left and right in colleg basketball.


Right now we don't need quadri to be great. We need him to develop. And watching all the player interviews, they all seem to really like quadri, and mick said he would make fun of Troy's jumping ability for quad. I think they all like quad and see him work hard in practice but not translate to the game yet.


That said, I do get frustrated when we bring him in when we're up but still early in the game but man I would never ever boo a kid on our team or boo our own team when we're winning and the season is far from lost. Be good fans and cheer on the home or just stay home.

Quad had some attitude issues last year that he has worked through, and those situations have not surfaced at all since the beginning of this season. He works hard every day in practice and has gone from mostly an outsider as a freshman to a guy that has a good relationship with his teammates as a sophomore. From the inside, I thought he was a problem last year, but that hasn't been the case in his 2nd season...
