RJ Cole to UConn

[Hurleyman216]

Also, I repeat, a physical lunch-bucket type like Ed would have served UConn basketball better the last 4-5 years than Purvis. Care to argue that one? Ed would have averaged at least 10 and 8 on those teams.

The problem with Ed was he focused too much on the lunch and not enough on the buckets. He and Warde are probably off somewhere right now having a Krispy Kreme donut eating contest.

Kid played less than ten minutes a game and was totally unimpressive in those minutes in my opinion.

What are you not getting about him playing in a frontcourt of stacked NBA players? If he played on the team nowadays he would start and put up good numbers.

Have no clue why Purvis and Ed Nelson are being compared in this thread. No reason to denigrate Rodney or Ed.

Gonna go out on a limb and guess he's in better shape than you. Ed from last year.

He didnt pass the eye test for me, sitting behind NBA players doesnt change that

Was thinking more along the lines of "who's in better shape Hurleyman or Nellie"?

More like, "RJ Cole to UConn. And Whatever Else UConn Related You'd Like to Discuss."

You’d be wrong he’s not, and it’s not even very close. You’re pretty good at making inaccurate assumptions.

It is so very boneyard that the guy who thinks he knows better than Sal is calling the other guy who insists he's in better shape than a former d1 athlete a keyboard warrior.

THIS is why I log on every day at lunch.

You're saying this because I've explained that packing on strength and muscle isn't rocket science?

Well sure. It's actually called exercise science.

This is the RJ Cole thread?

Everyone will have their own opinion of “in shape”. I’m sure I’m far less athletic than Ed Nelson and I have never dunked a basketball and never will (unless an 8 foot hoop counts). I would also venture to guess that Ed Nelson hasn’t completed any Ironman triathlons recently, but maybe he has and I just don’t know. If he has then my apologies to Ed for assuming he hasn’t. Kudos again to Superjohn for chiming in and making a fool of himself as usual.

I'm just messing with you all. Different kind of athleticism--basically incomparable.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

RJ Cole is NOT better than Ed.

You picked just about the most unhealthy exercise/sport but congrats on the accomplishment. My friend's grandma did one of those years ago.

Anyone know anything about his deceleration?

Another hot take, keep em coming.

You and John should get a room.

John needs to get a whole wing in a hotel. Guy gets into it in every fourth thread with somebody. Single handedly keeping the post count high on the BY.

I'm just playing with you. I don't think that's the healthiest thing but it is an unbelievable accomplishment.

He wasn't subpar, he's a good player who was stuck behind Charlie Villanueva, Rudy Gay, Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong, and Jeff Adrien etc. while he was here for two years.

Been gone awhile. Like I said, Ed was on the bench behind a monster of a frontcourt. UConn's best ever. Repeat. UConn's best overall frontcourt. Ever. He would have served us well the 2-3 years. Purvi

Ed Nelson was subpar. Telling me how good his team was does not change that

ACC ROY. Played on UConn's deepest/best frontcourt ever. Am I getting through to you?
