Drummond

[RickyMoore21]

one of the biggest issues of this team in the sense that we looked good on paper but it failed to translate in games...our frontline looks good on paper but we had absolutely no inside game on offense.

 

[wpq4elamin]

if you guys have ever watched dwight howard or shaquille o'neal, they're not really good BASKETBALL PLAYERS... and yet they dominate because of their presence and size. look at how both those other guys shoot FT's and then compare to andre...

you don't have to be larry bird when you are 6'10" and have a 45" vertical... you just have to want it more than the guy next to you who actually can play but can't jump over the sunday paper... when he wants to be great, he is pretty good for an 18 year old kid.... when he doesn't want to be great, he looks like the scouting reports that said he was indifferent and unfocused at times on the court...

if he stuck around for 4 years, he'd be pretty damn good by he end... but unless he was serious about coming back, he would be passing up millions and millions by coming back...

I'm neither upset nor annoyed about his performance because he's had games like this all year.... so had AO, but I can definitely say I've been disappointed with him this season... at least Andre has an excuse in that he's only 18 and he wasn't the "MVP" of a final4 just last year...

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.

The ANDREA stuff is lame....grow the duckk up people.....say he plays soft, he doesn't play hard enoug whatever but the ANDREA crap needs to go or you should!!

When you have bigs who can't hold on to the ball, you're really going to struggle as a team. The guards can't do it all.

Everyone wants to think these kids are going to stick around but honestly, if this ban holds, why stay? I can't see any reason for Calhoun to stay, especially with health becoming more of an issue. You think Lamb or Drummond will stick around to play for a first year coach with no chance to even play in the post-season? Come on folks......

 

[dogpause]

Give Drummon a break. His only sin is that he's a nice kid that's had horrible coaching, or none at all. However, I am surprised at the lack of progress this year. I do think he'll be back next year and will fulfill his potential.

 

[BUHusky]

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

Chill out dude. They went to the Muhammad Ali Center earlier in the day. It was a souvenir from there. Some of guys really need to get a grip.

everyone needs to relax!...he will be fine...stop giving up and then calling the players out for giving up...

You know what dp not sure he deserves a break....totally agree he was not coached very well anywhere prior (yeah Jere Quinn thanks for nothing there) but he's a smart kid and talented. To throw up the duds he did like this game is inexcusable.....more worried about alley oops, dunk putbacks and looking pretty rather than making plays to help the team. Lazy on D, doesn't use his frame to box, should have learned to be better at all of this by now.....simply put very disappointing....if he goes he will not leave any mark on the Husky program......

In the words of the omniscient tykurez...

THANK YOU! All these self righteous posters need to cut the crap. They dont actually respond to your post or care to actually dispute you, but rather just call you out and make some wise as* comment. And then when you respond to them they wont say anything back. This game was a complete and utter joke. It was the NCAA tournament and we walked around the court with our hands on our hips for the first 15 min. All of the things weve been complaining about all year (and said posters) have been ripping us on came true!! What do ya know. We once again came out completely flat and looked flat out disinterested. Pointing this out does not make us any less of fans. At least we try to reason with the pathetic performance. Just responding acting like your better than anyone else without actually saying anything does nothing at all.

Show some class.

What in God's name was wrong with what he said? Or untrue for that matter.

I am "chilled out". I was unaware of that. Carry on.

 

[lavuuk153]

Lamb is the key to next year. If he comes back this team is a title contender. If he goes and Drummond stays they are a legit Elite 8 team. I'll gladly welcome both/either back but don't expect them.

 

[HuskyFan32]

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.

Thank you Nomar. I said the same thing. Not sure what I said that was so unclassy. Just said I had huge hopes for him and it sucks what a disappointment hes been. Hope your serious and not being sarcastic. Cant really tell these days on this site.

2 stupid f'ers.....32 and dpross......in case you can't read I have disputed many and agreed with many...called out some players actually......but calling Andre "Andre"?? You proud of that one? If you are I don't need to know much more about you.....Fn Jim Rome!!!!

You slammed your hands and pouted a lot as a child didn't you? And if you're going to call me out, get it right. I called him "Andrea" and stand firmly by it. Next you'll probably call me a sexist. That'd be priceless. I find it hilarious that honesty is both hard to find and so strongly frowned upon around here.

 

[Adios]

Andre definitely has a future in China.

 

[Dove]

Remember, he actually considered another year of HS.

The Andrea stuff is funny and deserved IMO. Mean, yes. That too. Tough . Life is mean. He needs to grow a pair. And if he had JC for a whole season he would have at least a uniball by now. Nice kid. Tremendous physical gifts. No sack. Yet.

I have no idea what you are even talking about. I havent read a single one of your posts tonight, nor was I referring to you in any way. Although now that you have seen that post and immediately thought of yourself is actuallyu an admission of guilt. So touche. Thank you for owning up.

And again. You are proving me right. My post was about people responding to posts by simply calling people out and not actually disputing it in any way. Which is EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID!! Do you not get it??!!!! You say nothing at all exact act like a pompous d bag. Bring something to the table. I said Drummond was a disappointment. I had huge hopes for him and he didnt come close to living up to them. If you care to respond be my guest. But stop just quoting people and saying nothing.

Yeah, if only we had badasses like you on the court, I would already be booking my flight to New Orleans.

Andre Drummond was the first freshman in UConn history to average a double-double.

??? What part of anything I posted suggested that I thought I was a scholarship Div. 1 basketball player? The kid is soft and immature. Do you disagree?
