SELFISH!
This is easily the most selfish team I have ever seen(college or pro). I have seen pro teams that do not talk to each other on or off the court. Heck I have seen a player call his travel agent at halftime of game to book a mini vacation, but this crap is ridiculous. It was a red-flag at the beginning of the cuse game when Wright looked Sapp off for a layup and took it himself. These guys have taken "GET MINE" to a new low.
Well my inauguration buzz is still going strong. It will probably last until my taxes return to Clinton year levels, but that is why God invented a will in trust. My Hoya hoops buzz dissipated when the team was down two against wvu, and on consecutive possession Wright, Freeman, and Clark all jacked up 3s. Monroe did not even sniff the ball on those possessions, I don't even think that Summers did. FREAKING UNBELIEVABLE! These guys are playing for self, which is mind boggling. A team of average college players are now all playing to be lotto picks. When I said this team had the best group of freshmen and probably one of the best groups of sophomores in the country, that meant collectively. There are no special individual talents, except Monroe. Ironically what makes Monroe so special is how unselfish he is. There is only ONE point guard on this team, and that is Monroe. Darn it, Monroe might be the best point guard in the country. Unfortunately, there are guys on this team that are so blinded by greed that they do not even utilize Monroe. If these guys are so obsessed with scoring, all they have to do is pass the ball to Monroe he will get them a better shot. These guys can't shoot a lick, and yet they are in a race to see who can jack up the most bricks. These guys are shooting Anne Coulters weight right now.
Sapp. I have to give Jessie a lot of credit. He has handled the adversity and shown the character we all know he always has. Instead of sulking, he has picked his head up and played his butt off. He is not worrying about shots or being the "man", he is hustling and doing everything he can to play winning basketball. This bolds well for Jessie's future in life, regardless of whether or not he plays basketball anywhere after college.
Wright. DAYUUUM! Are you serious. I am almost at a loss for words. but how could a 19 year old sophomore have peaked during the uconn game. He has been horrendous since that game. There is nothing worse than a PG that does not try and make his teammates better. He is all about self right now. He refuses to run the offense, does not want to make the correct basketball play, and probably has the most porous defense of any PG in the Big East.
Summers. DAYUUUM! I hate when my scouting buddies are correct. But they all said that the true test for Summers will be after he has had a little success. They all believe that he is a streaky player, and wanted to see if he could play at a consistently high level. I got two text from scouts after watching Summers the last two games after the dook game. The first text read: Summers = poormans Donte Green (who is already in the NBDL). The other text read Summers: told you so. Meaning that the book on Summers in front offices is that he is one dimensional. He just looks to score, but is not even good at doing that. I posted last week that he needs to focus on becoming a complete basketball player for a reason. He can't handle the ball, does not defend well, does not pass well, and his lack of defensive rebounding his first three years is troubling.
These guys need to stop worrying about the NBA, and focus on becoming the best college players they can be. Unless a player is a special talent which these guys are NOT, the league wants winners.
Monroe. I luv the fight and refuse to lose attitude he has. He does everything to play winning basketball, but right now his teammates don't have a clue. He still has a lot of things to work on, and he will be able to address those things spring/summer. But in the meantime he just has to focus on finishing stronger around the basket and playing through the adversity.
I won't go into the other guys, because a posted on them a week ago. And frankly I was not planning on posting again until Feb/March, but this garbage is ridiculous. This team certainly has all of the components to win it all (partly because this is a weak year, and partly because Monroe is the only player in the country that can control a game offensively without scoring). But self inflicted implosion is a motha...
For those people actually dumb enough to think that JT3 is not coaching defensive fundamentals, rebounding fundamentals, and preaching to run the system... get a clue. The reason Clark and Wattad were the backcourt at the end the dook and wvu games, was because other guys went rogue. Funny how people get all worked about when a few trolls come on the board and start with the usual "its the system/recruiting BS." Lets see JT3's track record in 8 years of coaching: 5 conference championships(3 Ivy, 2 BE). Final Four, Sweet 16. I am not a stats guy, but I would venture to guess that over the last 3 years in the months of Feb/March JT3 probably has one of the highest winning percentages of any major conference coach in the country...
Coach Robinson just took Oregon State into Cal and won, while Northwestern went into Mich State and won. Both teams run the same system as Gtown with much less talent, yet they won. Why, because the players ran the "system".
Speaking of going rogue, what is the over/under on how many times Biden goes rogue Obama's first 100 days. ;D
Benjy Button, best flick of the year. A little depressing and kinda a poormans Forrest Gump(in reverse), but good nonetheless. I am pretty sure that sean mcdunough played Benjamin's body double in the movie.
Entourage was robbed, who the heck watches 30 rock. There will be blood on the red carpet.
When is Barkley coming back. Plea it out, start community service, and get back on the air. I sense my Warner stock and my IQ dropping every time Chris Webber and Gary Peyton open their mouths.
