The Ferrari is still a putt... putt...

[SellersElbow]

That Ferrari (Purvis) that KO keeps on talking about still has some bad gas...

Dang, he must have some serious gas to throw his game off this much. Is that possibly the cause of the rumored lack of harmony in the locker room from a couple weeks ago, too? I remember pick- up games at the field house getting pretty ugly after chili night at Alumni dining hall.

A Ferrari is supposed to travel, which it did several times in the game.

Honestly very impressed by purvis going to the basket. Maybe a travel here, a turnover there, but when he isn't charging he's making a layup. If you look at him with the forgiveness of a freshman he looked great tonight. Let's get him a jumper.

Why should we look at a kid three years out of high school as a freshman?

Yes it's early for us to evaluate RP. But what we have seem thus far is concerning. By age he's a Junior. Court experience a red shirt freshman. My opinion, yeah rust on shot acceptable. But I'm not sure what he will provide against good teams. What good team is going to let him slash to the hole all game. There is no way he is getting floor space in the half court with the make up of this team. Everyone now knows to guard him for the slash. Dare him to shoot. When have you seem a UConn SG who was scared to shoot?

First, he's a kid who plays for our team and I loved his spirit and support of team last year. HOWEVER, as a player right now I have serious concerns which seem to go beyond rust and ankle. He seems to be lost out there, has horrific form on his shot, does not have a great handle (seems to be trying to just rev up and go through people, not by them) does not seem to pass it well (in fact has had some very bad turnovers when they counted) does not seem to have this elite athleticism we have heard about (last night he had guy boxed out on defensive board and just barely got a hand on it). He also made horrible off the ball foul (had another bad one just prior that was not called) putting them on line at critical time. I hope he comes around and I'm rooting for him to do so, but just seems like something is missing.............
