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. I'd pay money to edited. tsk tsk tsk

Why was this thread moved when "Jeff, Durant and Harden dancing," among others about former Hoyas, was not? Alleged caprice aside, Vernon Macklin is a current Florida player while Jeff Green and others finished their college careers as Hoyas. Hence the Macklin threads are more appropriate here than in the Hoyatalk forum.

DOn't lose too much sleep over it Tbird. I missed it too. Good thing I have a vivid imagination. Still, I don't think he was nominating me for a Nobel prize.

Is this the right thread to discuss the distinction between being dead as opposed to not being alive?

Good thing Vern transferred. He'd be sitting behind JV.

Ok he went 4-4 from the FT line. I understand that UF probably better fits his style of play, and he'll probably have a solid year there (although I agree with those that say he'd be doing pretty much the same thing here). But there is no system that could make him a good FT shooter. Someone explain this to me. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

But there is no system that could make him a good FT shooter. Someone explain this to me. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. In fairness, I don't think anyone has called him a "good FT shooter." My guess is he's benefitted from a mild stretch of good fortune. But that does mean that he's been perfect from the line for 3 games straight -- granted, that was only 6 shots and in one game he didn't take any -- but still.

He had 16 points tonight, including 6-6 from the line. What? How?

How could I be so foolish as to overlook that? I've got to admit, you literally had me LOL. That's classic. I meant to post on this last night after the game, but got tied up. He played well.

I watched the FL game last night, and the announcers said that Vern had begun the season shooting FTs poorly, but had made 9 in a row. And I think he now has 13 in a row. The ones last night were nothing but net. He played very well in general last night on both O and D, and was probably the best or second best player on the floor while I was watching (saw about half the game). I'm glad it's working out for him so far and I hope it continues. We're fine with Julian, but it would be nice if it turns out to be a win-win situation.

Not only is Georgetown's tempo not that slow (we're 196th in the Nation in tempo according to KenPom), IT'S FASTER THAN FLORIDA'S (they're 205th in the nation).
