Well I'm glad we all waited in for years to get him. The anticipation and wondering about what would be was a lot more fun than his actual time here. Not exactly the hometown hero we had expected. Nice kid. But way too soft. Give him boatrights mentality and he's the best player in the country. Unfortunately he was far from that. Can't believe how disappointing hes been

I imagine he feels the same way. I don't feel bad for him since he's about to get really wealthy, but he's got to feel like garbage.

For a team with two lottery picks, this team sure is crappy.

You have to be solid before you can be good. Fancy plays don't mean if you don't do the basics.

He's nowhere near ready for the pros. He'll get snapped in half.
Of course, he'll go. But he's not ready.

2 points, 4 rebounds, 5 fouls.

Is he going to leave on that note?

I guess so.

He's a freshman for chrissakes! Give us a year to work on him.
He's a freshman that still hasn't learned basic fundamentals. Sorry, but he's no amare, webber,Howard or whatever ridiculous projection some of us had. He's garbage.

His talent seemed to be extremely overhyped. Yes, a freak athlete with unlimited potential but he really doesn't know how to play basketball yet and that seemed to be in contrast to how he was described.

Apparently Drummond was seen earlier today walking around the Yum! Center wearing a hat that said "I am the greatest". Not even kidding.

He should leave, he is not good. If he stays another year with limited development the NBA would sour on him. Why risk it.

2 points. 5 fouls. No balls.

It's bad when Oriakhi has better post moves than someone, which he does over Andrea.

Boatright is also a freshman for chrissakes! So are about 50 other freshman in the country that are better than him. For all the talent he has, he has been nothing short of a complete disappointment. We all waited for years to get him. Hes the local kid. Our "best" recruit ever and this is what he does? 2 points and 5 fouls in his only NCAA tournament game. We all complain that KY and UNC get 2 top 5 recruits every year; well at least those kids do something.

Are you kidding, Prez??? HF32's post was about the 5 millionth least classy post made tonight, and this is what you pick out?

Super weird.

its not that he isnt good, he just has no passion for the game... he honestly plays basketball like the kid in middle school whose parents forced them to do an after school activity they simply had no interest for

The Boneyard, ladies and gentlemen.
Honesty. Try it sometime. Try a response that isn't so non-committal and worthless. Then maybe we can have a real discussion. You want to defend Andrea? Go for it. Your options are limited. And don't bring up the "he will be a millionaire and you won't" garbage. Show some substance.

AD is big, athletic, but not strong and no moves offensively. He's a freshman, so if he was to stay, hit the weight room snd go to big man camp it would do wonders. Don't go sour on the kid after 1 year. Same for Lamb, get stronger 1 more year. Team did not come together but with a full yeat of head coach and no distractions it would have been better. This is how it ends for all but one team.

Calling him a girl was truly a show of substance. Good grief. Go take a long walk outside before posting after a loss.

Not to mention that he completely screwed up the chemistry of the entire team. Weve all talked about Alex all year and how hes had no confidence. Roscoe didnt start playing until about 25 games into the year. He messed up the whole dynamic of the team. Ive defended him all season, but this is really sad. We get our best recruit ever and he may have screwed up the entire season. Again he is a really great kid and he wants to win, but man did he underachieve.

Drummond just played himself out of the top 5. He has as much upside as he has faults. He is supper athletic but releases the ball way to low. He has no game with his back to the basket but can jump out of the gym. He seems to be a great kid but doesn't have the killer attitude in him no mean streak. Was picking people off the floor in the Ville game as they were laughing at us. The gm/coach who takes him early better have a long term contract becuase they might not be around when he reaches his potential.

How is that classless? I didnt rip him. I said hes a disappointment. If you care to disagree then be my guest. But dont call me classless for saying hes been a disppointment which is entirely true. 2 points in the NCAA for the number 2 recruit we all waited for three years to get. Seems like a dissappointment to me.
