Message: [QUOTE="Kenny11, post: 3344625, member: 7303"] A lot of our highest ranked recruits were a little bit underwhelming (compared to their talent level) their freshmen year because Calhoun is such a difficult coach to adjust to. Having a coach that pulls you after one mistake is difficult for anyone to deal with, not to mention a freshman. Plus, some of those teams were so talented that there just weren't as many opportunities for the big time recruits in year 1. Drummond, Villlanueva, Rudy Gay, Taliek.. even Kemba come to mind. AJ Price was out his freshman year. Caron was very good but he was an older player. Guys with extreme confidence and natural poise like Ben Gordon and Emeka were two of our best freshmen because they could never get rattled by Calhoun getting on them. Ray obviously as well. So if Bouknight averages in the teens for points, shoots a good percentage and helps us win a lot of games he could definitely be one of our best freshmen in a long time. [/QUOTE]
