Biggie McClain's Return to DC

[HoyaNyr320]

No one has mentioned Biggie's DC homecoming. He looked great on the bench - really cheering on his team. When they went down by 28, I could see Biggie still clapping and cheering hard. He also did a great job remaining seated, so that the fans behind him could see the game. At one point Cronin looked over in his direction, as if to ponder putting him in the game due to his intense spirit.

Boy, III really did miss out by not landing Biggie.

Ouch. That's harsh HoyaNyr, but a great point.

I was thinking the same thing when I looked over the box score. We are not the only team to have recruits not live up to their sometimes lofty expectations. It happens. It happens often!

We really missed out on Biggie. He makes a lot of contributions that don't show up in the stat sheets. Mainly because you have to be in the game to get on the stat sheets.

this is a really harsh thread if you dont get the inside joke as most people wont. mods, it should be deleted.

This has got to be the weakest response I've ever seen.

So that people know:

Certain posters on this thread thought that Biggie McClain was the second-coming of Patrick Ewing. They complained throughout most of last year that the coaching staff was out of touch on the recruiting circuit and was losing because they didn't bring Biggie McClain and his sublime skills to the Hilltop. Well, it turns out that Greg Monroe is pretty ok at this basketball thing, and Biggie McClain is a poor man's Henry Sims.

These posters can't admit their mistake and are now getting a good-natured ribbing about it.

There. I explained it succinctly. No need to delete the thread.

i dont mind the ribbing at all. because i believe im right and the detractors are just short-sighted. who wouldnt want a reserve who is 7-foot and that wanted to be here for 4 years? better use of the schollie than what it wound up being used on (name your transfer). we do have to get better with our recruiting. been saying it for a while and mcclain was the beginning. we got too cocky back then.

but the thread just looks bad to those outsiders that dont know the backstory that we would take shots at a bench player.

We already have a 7-foot reserve who wants to be here for 4 years and doesn't play.
