Drummond

[Prezidint]

And another beef I have with the coaching staff and Drummond.

What the duck was the decision making behind letting him continue to shoot from his tits? Seriously, if he was getting that awful crap to fall at even a 33% rate, maybe you tough it out for 1 season and then work on it over the summer. But when he's shooting it at 20% from the line and about 10% from the floor, it's time to say, "here's the correct form - start just over your forehead, looking through your arms, not starting at your tits, peeking over the ball," and then deal with a miserable season where at least he can work on the correct technique.

It's just awful. Has any other player in the history of basketball played 4 years of high school ball as a starter and shot what amounts to a girl-push-shot?

He couldn't dominate against a team with their tallest play at 6'7. How can anyone think he is NBA ready. He needs at least another year, but if the post season ban sticks, there is really no point for him to stay.

Kid needed a better high school coach. Simple as that.

4 years in High School, the last one being the best big man prospect in the country, and he didn't master the post up, catch, baby hook move, which should be his bread and butter.

Shame on our coaching staff for not telling him: "you want to shoot the turn around, fade away, you do it on your own time. When you wear the white and blue, you don't shoot that garbage."

I wish the coaching staff would treat him the same way they did CV, CV was getting benched in the beginning of his soph year until he realized that he needed to utilize his gifts at the college level in the post. AD is allowed way too much leeway, it ended up working out well in the WVU game where he was hitting those jumpers but he's killed momentum way too many times by shooting those jumpers. Coaching staff should've got that out of him from the jump.

Love the kid, and think he'll be a great player, but I get kind of tired of him acting like a sweet heart every time they lose a game. "Just gotta stay positive, everything will be alright".

He's so soft out there at times. You know, *k it, he's soft all the time. This Marquette team is a squad he should have been able to dominate on the boards and he got four rebounds. He doesn't even attempt to box out, he rarely ever seals his man in the post, and he shoots that fall away time after time after time even though it has zero chance of going in.

At least Oriakhi has shown some signs of getting angry and bullying his man. Drummond just looks like a *king deer skipping through the forest of candy sometimes. Get pissed off for once. I really want some rich guy on this board to just buy front row tickets, heckle him constantly all game, and challenge his man-hood. Make it personal. That might get him going.

Apparently Dre cought the Perry Jones III "passiveness rules my personality" disease. Both of these guys have zero/nada for leadership qualities. Dre believe it or not has much more potential in this area then Perry. Baylor should make Perry Jones III their sixth man. DRE on the other hand focuses on his sportsmanship skills ad nauseam on the court. Countless times he helps opposing teams players up after they are knocked to the floor sometimes by their own team members. I am a proponent of good sportsmanship BUT there comes a time when the gloves do have to come off.

It's always interested me that he helps opposing players off the court. I guess you can't knock him for being a good sport, but he does seem more interested in being your friend than he does in beating you.

He is a very high quality character kid but that does not always translate well to a basketball court. JMHO

Gived me a bunch of 3 and 4 star junk yard dawgs with 2 years of college experience behind them and you have the ingredients with good coaching to make serious runs at Final 4's. Rinse and repeat like trading a stock and you have layed the foundation for a unique program. You need the right coach. JMHO

It is kind of ironic we waited all this time for him to say he's coming to UConn only to help us to a sloppy season that won't be forgotten. Somehow, they start out cocky, which led to losses, which led to them being demoralized. Best recruit in UConn's history from our own state. I hope these kids find the motivation to redeem themselves for their own sake. They can't even play hard for Calhoun?

He's so soft it's unbelievable. He has every gift an athlete could want yet he lacks the emotion needed to dominate.

With ya champs..........said it before he needs to quit being nice, quit helping the other team off the floor. If you're going to foul be sure they actually hit the floor on occasion........too nice, it's a man's game and the Huskies really need him to man up now! And stupid fouls need to go away because they need him in the game for 30-35 minutes!!
