His numbers have been very decent averaging 10pts ppg., 6rbs, 1 ast, 1stl, 1blk in 23 minutes of play. Good to see him find a place where his style of play and skills are a better match.
We could have definitely used him this year....hope he keeps it up! Big game against Cuse on the 10th for the young Gators...

I've watched a couple games almost all his points come in the half court set. He's not doing anything different than he did/would do at georgetown.

Wait, you mean other teams aren't bounding up and down the floor with reckless abandon while the poor old Hoyas lumber through this sluggish mess of an offense? I'm shocked! |

I don't know you, but the fact that he is putting them in half court sets is great since he is a PF/C...what did you expect

My point was he's not getting all his points off of the fast breaks. His reasons for leaving where supposedly style of lay that he wanted to get up and down the court more to score in the fast break where he was supposedly better. My point is he'd be putting up the same or better number at georgetown. He's not doing better at florida because of any change in style. he's doing better because he's starting ( which he would've been doing at georgetown too). And he's putting up decent respectable numbers, but he's not taking the world by storm or completely dominating like a supposed mcdonalds alla maerican otential one and done as some people were claiming he would be.

Sincebirth, he's had several transition baskets as well, but your point is still well taken: he is a focal point in the half court set. What I like better about this team so far, as opposed to the past couple of years is that we seem to run the plays through the post with the intent of doing something other than setting up an open outside jumper. Yes, that's a part of the game -- and an important one -- but too often, at least in the past 2 years, it looked like our "goal" was to go inside outside, hoping for a somewhat uncontested 3 pointer.
In any case, yes, he is fitting in nicely thus far.
Note for those that didn't catch it: Vern was 2-2 from the free throw line over the weekend -- 2-2 against Michigan St. and 0-0 against Rutgers.

I think he gave up on Gtown too early, or maybe it was the other way around we gave up on him way early...either way both Monroe and him would have complemented each other pretty nicely...hopefully he did not leave because last year Gtown decided to start 3 guards and Summers on the 4, since we would have been better by playing Monroe or Macklin on the 4 and Summers on his natural 3 position....

this is not georgetown news. get this Edited off the hoya board. Agreed. A good rule of thumb--if a thread is almost guaranteed to get one of Hifi's inane posts, then it should be on some other board |

Seriously, I'm not one to bash hifi on a regular basis as many do around here, but once I hear him start talking about Macklin's free throw shooting on HoyaTalk I've had enough.
If you really have to, please discuss it on the pro and college sports board. We had to watch him brick foul shots off the backboard for two years, I really have no desire to hear about his efforts at the line.
Thanks anyway though hifi, I didn't catch that he was 0-0 from the line against Rutgers. Thanks for that scintillating stat.

Tbird and 2007, if you couldn't recognize the obvious tongue in cheek nature of my free throw comment, then I will pray for you both. As for my other comments, I honestly don't think they are out of line in any way and are fitting for the context of the post as started and discussed by others.

There is something to be said for wearing flip flops to class in February. The halter tops for the fairer sex are more icing on the cake. |

Why was this thread moved when "Jeff, Durant and Harden dancing," among others about former Hoyas, was not?

Yes, please pray for me, that's exactly what I need.
I don't mind discussion of transfers, but HoyaTalk is not the right place for it. You start enough meaningless threads on that board, I wish others wouldn't encourage you like this.

Why was this thread moved when "Jeff, Durant and Harden dancing," among others about former Hoyas, was not? Jeff finished his career as a Hoya so that's fine with me. Are you really so concerned about this issue? The other thread didn't cause any complaints, so why move it. |

In all honesty, I agree with your premise. There's definitely a softer spot in the heart for those that finished with the school, even if they left early, than those that transferred. That being said, I think you know my opinion on the almost random nature in which threads are closed/moved. Still, I'm staying out of that debate.
