Amida Brimah needs help

[BigErnMcCracken]

Since Facey and Brimah walked on campus as freshmans I've been waiting patiently for their physical development of putting on at least 20 pounds of muscle. Haven't seen it at all. Whoever is working with these guys in the gym and giving them advice on how to bulk up is not doing their job to their best abilities.

I don't care how much weight Facey puts on. He's 6-10, bouncy as hell, and since his freshman year he's shown flashes of real potential offensively, whether in terms of knocking down jumpers or taking the ball to the bucket. My concern is that we don't see more (any?) development in that area. When he was a freshman I was of the opinion that by his junior year he'd not only be a starter but one of the better players in the program, with real potential for success at the next level. Instead, he's basically the same player he was as a freshman.

I knew you were going to reference that play as soon as I saw that you had responded to me. It was a bad play, and it cost us a bucket. But that's one play. We were a better team with him on the court today than with him on the bench.

No we weren't.

I don't know how you can say he's basically the same player as his freshman year when he was so lost in half court defensive sets his freshman year that he couldn't even be put in the game without being a complete liability most of the time.

No we weren't.

He was a +13 in a game we lost by five. Not sure how you can say we weren't better with him on the floor. It's not even up for debate.

That plus has no validity to it, who's playing well and making shots while you're in there etc etc.. He was the player we saw previous to the dream game vs SMU, when he was on the court there was little difference than when Facey, Nolan or Enoch was on the court. A little, yes but his impact on the interior was a negative not a positive I promise. Let's not try to find something that wasn't there just because he "showed signs" one game. He went back to being "he is what he is" again.
