  1. depending on the opponent, i may try and go to that game.
  2. speaking of angles, he uses angles on the court very well, and he is a assassin similar to TP, if you bite on that ball fake to the left or right, he takes it right away, and if you back off, 10-15 in, its a pullup within a second, this kid is just amazing to watch.
  3. Im not an expert, by any means, but it looks to me that teams, are pulling game film from his 3-5 game stretch were his knee, and lower body was not 100% and are not giving his dribble drive game enough respect and credit, myself, and several other posters on this board both see similarities between shavon, and paul pierce, given their deceptive first step quickness, and general herky jerky drive game. He has been so clutch this year in the biggest games, im shocked BTN gave him nothing, hopefully the coaches ratify this.
  4. Dirk is an idiot, why even ask that question? a better question would be " Tim this program has had some rough patches, but what do you like about the future, what impact will tonight have on recruiting?" OWH makes me sad to live in Omaha somedays
  5. continue with Tai, starting, if he has it early and he is confident if not, we continue with the status quo and put in Benny.
  6. no bo got traded to the vipers, this is huge for him
  7. are vuvuzelas allowed indoors? that could be a awesome distracting piece
  8. lol im just trying to wrap my head around "almighty trigga trey, that all you need to know."
  9. what the hell does that mean...im mean im young and i have no idea
  10. latest bracket from Lunardi as us the in the play in game against Arkansas win, we play Texas, win we play Creighton if they pull thru, Hollywood couldn't write that script, and schedule of games if they tried lol. redeem are last time in tournament when we played Arkansas (correct me if im wrong, i think im right), than Texas and possibly Creighton? this isnt real life ll http://espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology
  11. i cant find Nick Bahe's assement, it basically 2 mins of acting like he's never been in international compeition and forgetting that the kid is 18 and far far far away from home. if he is lucky and works his shot, he could be a ok big 10 guard...
  12. Because they're sort of awful these days? awful isnt enough of a statement...
  13. LMU, and GW will be sneaky good games that will help are RPI late next season, i dont know what Whichita State or CU have returning, and im not thrilled to see DePaul name in there
  14. I hope they work that smoothly together in the near future random rant...Nick Bahe (who i really just cant stand) profiled Tai Webster while was some was true, it just rubbed me the wrong way, Tai is gonna bring it next year, similar to Jeter i feel like.
  15. Hawkins and Webster together was tremendous
  16. While it sounds nice that had nothing to do with Miles and everything to do with a promise made to Chin to bring out some Chicago kids. Notice not a one has visited NU since he left except for Morrow and thats because he has ties to Lincoln. miles still brought him on staff, after he left, we replaced him with others who have stong recruting capabilites,and have made some considerable inroads, with more top 150 recruits, im just using this IMO to take the oppsitie view of the OP and reflect on the postive steps we've taken.
  17. and not to forget, even though it was only a visit...the #1 recruit in the nation came to NU on a unofficial visit, and liked us for a hot mintue, he isnt coming here, rather going to spend a year at duke but for a split second, and a few weeks, the #1 recruit said we had some top notch attractions. I still like where this ship is headed, it isnt rudderless, and sinking as it was in the last decade.
  18. we landed a top 150 recruit...plus if you consider the production/promise from are last two classes (shields, parker recruits carried over from pervious regime; Hawkins, Webster finding their roles future looks promissing, fuller redshirted, smith huge suprise; and Petteway, and Pitchford transfers) im pretty with are classes, we are active in the top 2015 kids, with the potential for some sleepers in 2014...always look on the postive side...We hosted numerous top 150 recruits, almots snagged the pesky one big man away (ER) and could still get a look from Rustic, if some things dont work out....TM is doing what needs to be done, and i have full faith in what will come GO BIG RED!
  19. Vooch is the one big man who's been here his entire career and we can't even get him on the court to eat up fouls. vooch is an anomoly...an outlier..ill bet money that our staff can help big men out with the progress, Pitch has made in developing in the post on defensive end, and when smith is on, he is smooth...ill take my chances with them developing Sure, Pitchford has gotten better defensively in the post, but he's absolutely awful offensively in the post. The same goes for Rivers. Smith is OK. I don't want this to be a knock on Miles and his staff, I just don't believe we've proven we can develop big men just yet. If they had turned Vooch into a rotational big then I'd agree. I'm just not there yet, though. your expectations are off...Pitch will never..i repeat NEVER be a back to basket post player... Billy Donovan knew that the minute, he stepped onto Florida's campus, Miles knew this the second he was at NU, Rivers as i pretty decent midrange, game at the 4 spot, if your expectations are for them to be back to the basket frontcourt players, than of course it looks like we cant develop big men, but if you come from the aspect, that these are evolved post players, with the post is extended 15-20 out in some cases for pitch, and rivers, and on defense they are head and shoulders from what they were to begin the season, than that is the expectation we should have.

  21. I don't agree with that. Hawkins is awful on defense. Not to pick on the kid for playing his heart out. At least Ray can play defense, and if Petteway, Shields, and Pitchford are in at the same time, we have enough scorers to get an off night from Ray. at the same time...if rey isnt making shots, he is a mismatch on d against bigger defenders, espicially with benny in at the same time, and its gives one scorer on the court at times, and isnt a reliable ball handler, at least hawkins can hit shot, play average defense and can be a secondary ball handler
  22. i like Hawkins shot, he seems confident and form wise it looks clean, between him and fuller, and if tai (good form, has history of being strong shooter, lacks confidence), and fuller we will have dead shooters next year. i really respect that Parker, and Rivers have begun to find their range, 15-20 feet, and last two games find their comfort, parker dosnt like the 3, so he steps in 2 feet takes a two, not a statistical analysts favorite shot, but at least he likes it, and is willing to shoot making defenses honest.
