Actually I think that Tai was over hyped. Just me.

I think the talk and "rankings" people proclaimed about him were all about his potential. If you look at the majority of foreign players that come over they have a big learning curve, especially if they didnt play any basketball over here before college. I think thats the reason why you see guys like Bolden, Simmons, Pinder etc coming over a year or two early to get acclimated to the style of play in the US so they dont have such a dramatic acclimation process to overcome.

That was kind of the point I was making. We hear all these things then it might be what we think will happen.

Benny came in with good cred, but showed to be behind a little bit last year. However if we would have dumped him last year like many wanted, we might not be as good as we are right now.

Many, myself included, kind of bought into the hype, which I tried not to, becuase of what we read or heard from others. Mean while we should have known that he was going to struggle some. As I wrote a while back, he is just 18, in a new land and a looooooong way from mom and dad. He will get better, but while he does, isn't nice to have somebody to fall back on who has been throughout it?

Guess it was kind of sharp answer to people wanting to get "rid" of players like this is the pros. Just kind of hits a hot button with me.

I like Tai a lot, but he will need to get more consistent to help us in the future.

Benny and Rivers are staying and improving... Vooch has to go. He is really hurting the development of the program being on scholarship.... I can't fathom how Doc thought he was capable????

Pretty sure Vooch isn't a Doc guy. He's 100% Miles.

Miles signed sergej? Are you guys sure?!? After D Biggs!?

Seriously, 316, give it up. It's one thing to be dead wrong, on something that a simple search will show. But to not admit it and move on....

So yes, we are absolutely positively sure.

Benny is baaaaad on offense, he is one of the guys Indiana didn't guard. He is a good on ball defender. Benny and Serj would be gonzo if we could replace them w capable players.

Benny's game is run and run and run some more. He has had his best games on o when he can get out on the break.

I think right now he has lost confidence in his jump shot. It will come back some day hopefully.

Some times you need guys like David and Benny on your team who are willing to sit a couple games and then do their part,when they are needed.

JMHO :)

My bad HB, I give it up... No need to be a prick.

 

I think he's saying after 3 different people told you otherwise you still questioned it and yes its easy to just look at a Scout, 247, and Rivals profile and see the day he committed to NU and realize it was after Miles was hired.  Its all good though we all make mistakes.  ;)
