husker8282 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 UCLA center Joshua Smith was released from his scholarship. This guy may be someone we should look at as we are in desperate need for bigs. I think he would be eligible to play next season and could provide an imidiate impact.

bobcat402 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 i disagree with you, smith is often lazy on defense and dosnt have near the passing iq andre has, and if we make fun of andre for being big these guy is two to three inches shorter and from some of his games i watched worse athleticism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 With Smith's departure (apparently for weight issues) UCLA is left with 8 scholarship players: Four are freshmen; and three are transfers from North Carolina. Wow. How do you get three transfers from North Carolina? Can we get in on that action? "Yes, I'd like a McDonald's All-American with cheese, two North Carolina transfers and a biggie-sized foreign kid. And I'll take fries with that."

uneblinstu Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 If you can get him in here at semester and give him conditions like this: You're going to come in here and work your @#% off to get in shape or your scholarship won't be renewed next August (or whenever that decision needs to be made), it might be worth looking into.

Norm Peterson Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Except in Brazil they call it a "Royale with cheese." (Sorry, a little "Pulp Fiction" reference there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan88 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 "Smith, a Kent, Wash., native, came to UCLA with McDonald's All-American honors and was ranked by ESPN as the No. 1 center recruit in the country. Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 3 center nationally and Scout.com ranked him as the No. 4 center nationally."(From yesterday's L.A. Times). So much for stars and rankings on this one!

jnhucla Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 We don't want him I am a UCLA fan and this kid is a bum, was given every chance to be the next BIG thing and didn't care to work out and lose a few pounds. He is a cancer in the locker room and I am thankful he is off the team. Norm Peterson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, though, how (or why) does a UCLA fan go about finding a Nebraska Huskers basketball message board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKamdyMan Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 If Nebraska wanted an "in", Lindsey Moore went to high school with him and has tweeted back and forth with him several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnhucla Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I am a UCLA but born and raised in Lincoln and have always been a Husker fan as well. Just my imput on the Josh Smith, he would be bad for this team that is trying to build something. It is all about him and I think you will see UCLA get better now that he has left.
