Roscoe Watch

[upstater]

I would love to have his rebounding right now. UNLV doesn't appear to be any good though, already losing one exhibition and getting blown out at home by UC Santa Barbara. He's also playing PF.

He played 18 minutes, grabbed 12 rebounds. Wow. What is that coach even thinking?

Could really use that in our frontcourt this year.

I think Roscoe is regretting his decision. Would have been a great fit in this team.

His leaving hurt, didn't see that coming

How many guys have left us and made it to the NBA? I can't think of anyone, but there must be somebody

he left NBA-U, the program that makes more projects NBA players than any other program in the country, and he left us for UNLV.

I'm sorry, but "that's messed up"

all the best Scoe, good luck

He was in foul trouble plus he wasn't putting up points so he didn't get to play as much in that game. I love RS and wish we had him. But I don't see DD developing as much and DD is the more rounded player even with RS superiority in rebounding.

I will forever have a place in my heart for Scoe, mostly due to the championship year and for his great work in this video:

I loved our team of weirdos and misfits, and he was nice to my GF when she met him at a TGI Fridays, signed me an autograph with "Can you smell it!?"

Favorite Roscoe pic.

I loved Roscoe. Can't teach heart. Best of luck to him, wish he were still with the program.

Can't teach heart? Exactly what heart didn't he show when he put his own numbers totally aside to do the dirtywork necessary to help us win a national championship.

Sheesh.

Sheesh.

I think he was complimenting Roscoe's effort - "can't teach it", meaning he had it.

I'm quoting this just because it is hilarious to see the tables turned. Usually we have problems with lawyer speak!

Lol. The immediate confusion has worn off. Now I feel slightly violated.

Wait until he bills you for his advice!

Edit: Strange that that picture appeared in my reply to you but not in your post.

Lol.

And I edited in the photo because the black eye he sustained during the Big East tournament epitomizes Roscoe's grit and selflessness. Wanted to avoid any confusion this time

Ooops. Sorry. Never mind.

 

[Jerry1714]

I would love those 11 rebounds a game he's getting right now.

A 3-5 lineup of Scoe, DD and Nolan/Amida would be a nice to roll out

 

[pj]

Yes, if we had Roscoe to play PF this would be an awesome team.

 

[mauconnfan]

Let's be honest here I'm pretty sure DD isn't here still with Roscoe!! And I'm much happier with the BIG picture with DD tan Roscoe.......

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

22 rebs last night...

 

[GlastonTim]

22 rebs last night...

WOW!

 

[ZenConn]

22 rebs last night...

As they won by 3 vs Nebraska-Omaha ... they missed close to 49 shots not including free throws.

Still averaging 14.7 rebs. Maybe your inference is correct and Roscoe is a very overrated rebounder. On the other hand he seemed to be rebounding like a kid who feared that a failure to board would result in a full blown water balloon attack against him.

Hey what do I know. Maybe 50 rebs was the standard to be used for a good rebounding game.

Thanks for schooling me on the game of hoops. It was truly a humbling experience.

I am not rooting for him at all. Unfortunately I can't remove my blue goggles for that 1.

 

[PacificStorm]

Kentan Facey maybe the next Roscoe Smith? Give KF a few months. He will be a starter by early March. And Roscoe will shine up in UNLV. I hope UNLV make it to the NCAA. I have always liked Roscoe both as a player & person. I hope his senior year will be his greatest year in CBB leading to, at the minimum, a late 2nd-round NBA draft pick.

No water balloons coming from here!

Roscoe has 13 boards in the 1st half alone right now against Az State, game is on CBS Sports Network. This is also a good chance to see Jahii Carson, who is one of the most exciting players in CBB.

Good God.

I'll try to take solace in knowing Facey doesn't come if Roscoe is here as I watch him develop over the next four years, but damn if that isn't our short-term missing piece 3000 miles away.

Yea I'm rooting for him, but its hard watching him and not thinking about what could be when he literally looks like a college version of Rodman out here. He's swallowing boards in and out of his area.
