Once again, this hypothetical has no connection to reality nor any posts on this board. What exactly is your point? Who are you even arguing with? I don't think his post was serious. Yes, it obviously was meant to be hyperbole, but he clearly falls on the "MCIGuy side." The problem is that his post made no sense.

Win at all costs, even if it means taking quality players to warm our bench and then transfer out. This board never worries about transfers, so that is not a problem. I say take all the top 10 recruits (screw top 100, what have they done for us lately?) and let #s 6-10 sit - they won't mind, will they, watching their shot at NBA millions go to naught, as long as our program is winning these kids will still come just to practice with our top guys. No offense but sometimes it is really easy to tell the difference between people who play sports and fans. The root word of fan might just as well be fantasy as fanatic for the sense some people have about what is good and right or even possible in the world. Once again, this hypothetical has no connection to reality nor any posts on this board. What exactly is your point? Who are you even arguing with?

Your posts are still completely devoid of almost any connection to reality. Who wants these 6-7 man rotations you are talking about? When have we had more players that deserved time, but had fans on this board arguing not to play them? If anything, it's been the other way around - fans always want to see the new guy when things aren't going perfectly.
Beyond that, this isn't little league. The best players deserve to play, and everyone that goes to a major program should understand that. I want as many good players as we can get, and then I want the split of minutes that makes the team perform the best. If that is an 8 man rotation, I won't feel bad for those left behind. College sports is a competition.
We are talking about not playing lightly recruited freshman. This isn't some travesty. This team is never going to be running up and down the court and playing 10 guys, so it isn't going to fulfill your basketball fantasy. You just need to get used to it. And please keep the response reasonably short, it's early.

MCI, your last few points have become over the top absurd. When have we ever had 10 studs, but had fans arguing to only play 7? And why wouldn't you want as many options as possible, regardless of how shallow your rotation is? Not everyone pans out, and injuries happen.
You get too caught up in your pet issues.

If we had great depth, I'd love to go 9-10 deep. But we don't - at best we have 8 guys that should be playing on a top 20 team this year. With our slow pace we don't have to go deeper than 8 unless there is a real reason to. Nikita and Benimon aren't reasons.

I don't really care who starts as long as the best players get the most minutes. Clark is going to be at worst our 4th best player, so he should play "starter minutes" no matter what.
As for the size, I wouldn't consider our lineup to be small as long as we have 2 of Monroe, Sims, and Vaughn on the court for the vast majority of the game. We are likely to face more 3 guard lineups than 6'7" NBA-style SFs, so Freeman at the 3 is fine so long as the big guys rebound (DaJuan didn't).

Was there always a $15 S&H charge? Didn't know I was ordering a Snuggie.

Probably due to rent.

One difference with Zo is that he was much more explosive than Greg, so he could get away with being more predictable.
If Greg becomes a great player, it's going to be mostly because of skill, not athleticism or a non-stop motor. And that means he'll need a right hand.

Before the first game, I would have set the line at DCX -30 or something. Wright, Monroe, Durant, and Mo Creek shouldn't be losing to a bunch of scrubs. Sure, Isiah Swann eventually showed up, but come on.
Agreed that Clark was by far the best Georgetown player last night. He is easily our quickest and most athletic guard in years.
Hollis was definitely jacking shots, but that team is such a disaster you can't read much into it. Everyone is just looking for theirs, and Hollis was visibly frustrated when his teammates missed him for easy dunks/layups. He probably figured that since everyone else was firing away, he might as well join in.
As for Benimon . . . well, he looks like Wattad did in summer league - random mid-major filler rather than a Georgetown player.

Can someone break the picture rule and post a scanned copy?

I meant to send a different message than was perceived. Does anyone forgive me or is anyone willing to give me a second chance? Sorry, my religion preaches grudge holding.

This Chicago blog has a pic of Sweets in a Celtics jersey: he looks out of shape, but the start of the season is a long way away -- he can get to where he needs to be with proper conditioning. But why would the Celtics bother waiting for that? If Sweetney was serious about coming back, he should have showed up in shape. He didn't, and now he is already hurt. I'm obviously rooting for him, but if he isn't taking his comeback seriously, it's hard for me to care.

Thabeet is a much worse rebounder and 1-1 defender than Mutumbo was, so it's not a great comparison.

He said she was adequately qualified, although not "fully," whatever that means.
Anyway, she is obviously "qualified" in the broad sense, and I'm sure she'll be an adequate justice. She doesn't appear to have any outstanding qualities, though.

If we have no interest, why did we invite him for a visit? Or did something happen during/after the visit?

More than an hour has gone by without a comment or update about Latavious Williams. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, PEOPLE!!! He said Memphis leads.

Yeah, I'm sure it had nothing to do with Ewing Jr.'s dad and his relationship with the Thompsons. Thats not what I meant. I was referring to the story of Ewing JR considering Georgetown and Miami, and he was going to take a trip to Miami for a visit, and JTIII called him on the phone before his visit and said either commit now or the offers off the table. Or something along those lines. Thats how we got him to commit. Now thats not exactly what JTIII could be doing with Williams. But its entirely possible he could be playing "hardball" to some effect. Not saying he is, but its not impossible. It is impossible that he is playing hardball to "toughen the kid up." It simply makes no sense whatsoever.

It may be that JT3 is trying to play hardball a bit to toughen the kid up. Anyway, just a contrarion's hypothesis. Uh, really? That makes no sense whatsoever.
