Deandre Daniels..... Disappointing?

[dogpause]

1) He's missing a lot of three pointers cause the ball isn't going through the hoop.

You're not blaming the ball, are you?

Been inconsistent this year but last game isn't a fair assessment due to his back,

He needs to put on some weight by hitting the weights a la Hilton Armstrong in 2005

He reminds me much more of MJ than Stanley as far as body type, coming from LA, vicious dunker, etc. I just hope he can put it all together better than Marcus did.

Give him time. He is just beginning his second year. New position, new offense. He is treading water. It may take him all year to get comfortable. The key is next year, hopefully all are back, better understanding of how coach KO wants them to play and a better understanding of the play book. Next year Uconn will have a very experienced team that could make a deep run in the NCAA tourn.

Unless the NCAA gets on our backs for having too many boxes of Apple Jacks and not enough of Honey Smacks in the dining hall. Then we can count on a 5 year tournament ban and at least one vacated NC.

My thought going into the year was that Daniels was going to surprise us. So far I have seen very little out of him, and its very disappointing. Can someone here convince me that he will get better. Also I thought he was supposed to be a big time recruit with a great three point shot. Does anyone know why he is missing alot of 3s? Thanks.

He was having back spasms Tuesday night. Ever had back spasms? I have and cannot imagine trying to play basketball. Actually when I got back spasms I couldn't even sit comfortable to watch basketball. He gets a pass. My concern with him is something Calhoun has said in the past about some others whoo have not met expectations - where's his game?

I think he can be really good his senior or junior year. He needs to adapt to the game and make smart decisions first.

I agree and those start to happen when he becomes more comfortable with his position.

After watching last night's game maybe we should start a "Omar Calhoun..... Disappointing?" thread before the next game.

I think he's doing that, it's a process. He'll be better overall than Sticks soon. Folks remember the occaisional rebound where he jumped higher than the backboard and forget the more frequent times where he would just disappear for over a half.
