Shaq Goodwin

[AdamaNation]

I cannot stand his bullish style and still don't know how he is not called for two or more offensive fouls every game. On the court he comes off as someone want to be bad ass who gets the love from the refs. I want to hate him so much .but have you ever noticed his reactions after every game he sincerely congratulates every player he meets and every coach with sincerity and honesty and I think he's a little bit better than what we thought I wish the guy the best of luck at his next chapter in his career.

Last year he beat us on a last second basket. He was interviewed after the game and came across really well. Smart, articulate and gracious. I liked him.

Shaq Goodwin is awesome, and I hope he ends up in the league somewhere.

Very glad we don't have to play him ever again.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Yeah idk where this is really coming from, never complains too much and is always smiling, seems like a great kid. Also kept his head up high and tried to console his teammates today.

 

[BoatShow]

Kid plays hard and has a great time doing it. Burrell on the other hand...booooooooo

 

[Ts5034]

I never had a problem with him, always seemed like a good guy. I would have taken him in a second to play for UConn

 

[Balker]

It was Austin Nichols that always pissed me off. He left them high and dry this year. Memphis would have been a decent team if he hadn't left.

 

[BUHusky]

Didn't realize he was a senior...always thought he was Brimah and Facey's class.

I've always really liked him and hope nothing but the best in his future endeavors. He's got a non-stop motor which should help him make a good living playing the game he loves.

 

[mauconnfan]

Good dude, good thread. Always enjoyed watching him play as well as the way he conducts himself just seems like a genuinely nice kid.

 

[Kitaman]

Kid was a nightmare for us. Funny but we could never wipe that smile off his face, no matter how tough we played him. That's a compliment to him.

Glad he's leaving but will miss him in a way.

 

[dennismenace]

That smile used to bother me but over the years I admired him more and more. Relentless competitor and good teammate who is always picking up the
other players. Very glad we don't have to play him again. Reminds me of Spiva as far as kind of dreading him when we play his team. Worthy opponent
for sure. Wish him the best after college. He's a winner.

Agreed. I like him, even if I don't like playing against him. Now Lawson, he rubs me the wrong way a bit.

 

[Danzz]

I love players that play hard and Goodwin does. My favorite opponent of all time was Kyle Lowery from Villanova.

Shaq is essentially Jeff Adrien with linger hair. Non-stop motor (including mouth), constant effort.

Memphis' problem is that Goodwin should be the 3-4 option on offense but he's their 1-2 option.

I'd gander that if he was at UConn he'd be a legend.

 

[Peacefrog]

Agreed, Goodwin is a tough competitor and with good sportsmanship. Never cheap, never trying to show anybody up. Just playing hard, trying to win and enjoying the game.

 

[Kembacity]

Daylight savings messing with you guys?

I see a "Spiva"
a "Kyle Lowery"
and a "Jeff Adrien with linger hair"

I will just chalk it up to you guys staying up all night studying those brackets

My favorite player? Shabozz Napiyay

I've always considered Shaq a class act. This weekend he solidified my belief when the chatted with my son for about ten minutes.

My kid was down there w/ the Pep Band and while a few of the Memphis players were hanging around our baseline during the Temple game, Shaq struck up a conversation with my son. He said Shaq seemed genuine and sincere and even asked a few follow-up questions as to what my kid's plans are after he graduates this May.

 

[pepband99]

I'm glad to see this thread - always got a good vibe from Goodwin, and the kid was a relentless opponent. I hope he gets a good shot in the NBA.

 

[Palatine]

Memphis' problem is that Goodwin should be the 3-4 option on offense but he's their 1-2 option.

Yep, I agree, Goodwin is a very good player but he shouldn't be the best player on your squad. He would be a great Robin, he is merely a very good Batman.

 

[pnow15]

Always liked him.

 

[Kitaman]

UConn women love him and rightfully so:

 

[pnow15]

Always liked him.

 

[jibsey]

If he was with us we'd love him. He's a good guy, very competitive but not mean, Lawson is a freshman! Wow. If Pastner goes does he declare? Maybe he goes anyway.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I liked how he never complained after a call. He's the type of bull we so desperately need. Glad we no longer have to play him. Seems like a good kid, wish him the best.

 

[BoatShow]

Makes sense as that was the year we became conference mates
