Agree on Oriakhi but Okwandu was the only senior who got real minutes. That team really was Kemba and a bunch of freshman.

True. Chuck did come in and do well. Knew his limitations and helped the team. Same with bev

On Brimah. Anyone who feeds Brimah on anything other than a lob is at fault.
Vance has a much athleticism as Giffey.
Vital hasn't played enough.
Enoch should only play in the 2/3 zone.
Purvis is Purvis.
The Tampa kid needs to start and also play in the zone using his height.

I just need to know, when/why did everyone start calling Durham "The Tampa Kid."
 
Man this board has become insufferable lately. Who knew what a few L's can do to you...Head bang

I don't think everyone calls him that, just pnow15 because he's an incredible idiot. We're talking about a guy who thinks Ollie needs to specifically recruit more white players.

White players make up about 40% of the decent college players. If you never recruit a white player, you are missing out of 40% of the available talent pool.
 
I like the posters who keep making Vital Italian (Vitale)

Doesn't matter in college all that much. Look at Kyle Wiltjer. An all American candidate last year and he had zero athleticism. He couldn't jump on a friggen trampoline.

Hell, we had this guy named Shabazz who couldn't dunk on a fisher price rim, and he was pretty special.

haha ... more White guys.

I feel the same way as before Maui. I like the 5 Freshman ... and I like (and am sad) Terry Larrier. Not a miss on any of them. They will develop ... WE are a development Program; not a one & done kinda thing. Enoch? I am influenced by many here; but, I think that kid has some attributes that you can't teach. He is limited now because he really did not play EVER at a high level until a few years ago. You can see him puzzled; but he is not a big stiff by any stretch. And Jalen Adams let loose ... didn't he.

Brimah is playing marginally better as a Senior. Facey and Purvis, as I noted, are clearly disappointments. Purvis is a Ferrari as a stud athlete and was always ahead of kids his age on the court; however, he is not a hoop athlete. He is fast, strong, bullish, (occasionaly good defensively) ... and you will see him get in rhythm and score 20. But, he is not a high level hoopster.

WE have 11 kids from RSo to incoming. Ollie did well in recruiting. Will we see some Pop beyond the typical college player? Yes ... that's what Adams is now showing. And I think Vance Jackson can be a mid-teen scorer (in college); Vital is better than expected and can play solid 20 minutes; Durham has skills and may be vastly improved in 2 years. Peg this a development year and expect a good 2-4 to be far better by March

Lol Can't compare anyone to kemba or compare to that season. He also had a low post threat in AO who boarded as well. And seniors who knew their roles. Also a healthy team

And this team doesn't have a guy like Roscoe. And Kemba was a jr. Sophomore Kemba would have won 15 games.
