That block on Shelvin Mack at the start of the 2011 NC game messed Butler up. They never got their offense on track.
I'm pretty sure the post you're quoting states that Caron did a 5th year.That's not the entire story about Caron's recruiting ranking. At that time most of the recruiting sites didn't rank 5th year high school players. The ones that did had Caron in the top 10. See this RSCI ranking which has Caron at #47 because they put 0 in for the sites that didn't tank him. But the 2 in there that did had him in the top 10. He was a very known quantity coming to UConn and he lived up to the top 10 billing.
Again, the post you're quoting distinctly references His 5th year
I'm not sure what the point of this post is but thanks for pointing out I was responding to a post that said he did a 5th year of high school. I knew that and mentioned it.
I agree with this statement. You wasted much of your time. My point was you should just read it between the lines. There could only be one reason that I would even introduce His 5th year as a relevant fact.
But you didn't further explain why. I did. But thanks for your efforts. I appreciate it.
Dude what. You made a weak point (“Caron surpassed expectations cause he was ranked just 47“) which was misleading and required clarification.
Glad I'm not the only one who understood that. Not sure why he got his panties all in a bunch just because I made a clarifying post to his post. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything like that.
George Blaney.
The point was simple, as true senior He was ranked 47. Comparing apples and oranges was your profound "clarification"
You're arguing against yourself, or just massaging the other posters jock strap. I immediately clarify His 5th year upon pointing out His true ranking for senior year against his pears. Would you prefer I preface with that fact, then proceed to state His true ranking of 47?
Lol, he won a one way ticket to ignore island.
Karaban’s offense was pretty much what I expected. But his growth on defense from December to April was remarkable
In the summer of 2001, I was a counselor in training at a camp in Vernon and Justin Brown was dating one of the counselors and came to visit one day. 13 yr old me was one of the few people who knew he was aside from being a giant. I asked him if he was going to start the next year and he said “I don’t think so. This freshman Emeka is looking really good.”
No surprise to me
Edit: walk-on Pete McCann was also a counselor there. JB may have actually been dating his sister? Anyway he was telling kids all summer he played on the team and no one believed him until Brown confirmed
Ummm… let us not forget it was just for 1 season… He out played some of the top big men in the game and did just fine for a freshman.
If you count Henefeld as a freshman, easily him. Next would be Josh Boone.
