Observations from Open Practice

[zepfan]

I got your back man if this turns into a brawl at Ted’s!!

Fairly amazing how sensitive members of this fanbase get when breaking down a player with any sense of critical objectivity.

Listen to the latest locked on, or dauster. There’s agreement with the take, how he develops is an unknown and clearly the staff believe. Just have to hope it plays out well, but let’s not think Hurley and staff aren’t capable of a miss here and there.

Agreed and hoping he is as good as advertised. Plenty of time before he has to perform at a high level. Hurley said this season will hinge on guard play. Losing two first team all-big east guards is difficult to overcome. Not sure Diarra and Mahaney will be able to replace what we lost in Newton and Spencer. Solo and Nowell (or even McNeeley at the two spot) will have to step way up for us to compensate for the loss. No bar fight (Lol), just trying to push back against a completely unprovoked, unnecessary attempt to disparage my amateur scouting skills and suggest that I am an imbecile (Lol).

You’re not an imbecile. You’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.

Settle down. Go to a bar and look for a fight if you’re that angry over nothing. Yes, of course it’s based on one practice. And of course if he is as good as advertised then we are in better shape. But those were my observations of one look at him. But regardless, we will need one or both of Solo or Nowell to step up… time will tell. In the future I’ll be sure to cover all possibilities in my quick, of the cuff observation so as not to anger anyone of superior intellect. lol

You settle down zepster. Just asking a question one that actually makes sense whether you and Ruff Ruff like it or not. I’ve seen him play as well, not at practice game but actual game and think he will be eventually a very good fit. Think you’re jumping the gun, both of you and I have the right to ask. And you certainly have the right to express your opinion after being there. Bar fight? Another jump of the gun l! Lol
