What do you expect from the dude who made a threat complaining about the quality of play in the LLWS?

This is the type of season that will drive him off the ledge and then he'll reappear under a new username a week later, which is also his thing.
 
No, just saying his form is lousy right now and will be a problem against better defenders, he pushes from his chest. He'll just have to work on it.

Surprised the father complained yet never worked on that aspect.

I like the kid a lot and his longer term potential. I wonder if the father thought he was 1-n-dun and cashing NBA checks next year. Expectations a little inflated initially maybe.

Lmao you're a joke man, why even waste your time posting on a board full of people who can't stand you?

Feel free to find a single one of my posts that has ever gotten heat. Should be hard because I'm not a complete moron.

He already was, under the name husky91. He came back with a new account. Fishy and Tom let so much slide here (some of my posts included), the idea that someone who was insane enough to make them hit their tipping point thought he could waltz right back in is pretty ridiculous.

Agreed, need to see him used more inside out. Also would like to see him used flashing to foul line in the zone. He has the size and you want your guy flashing to the foul line to be able to shoot and pass both of which he can do. He had the best pass of the season on a wraparound pass to Brimah for a dunk.

This. He can flash, catch and shoot with coordination. An he's a good enough passer to kick the ball to the opposite wing or work the hi/low post game.

I used to post as Bush and once threatened to follow Tom around non-stop. He caught me one night when he was at the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee. I was caught off-guard during "Tiny Bubbles" (love that song!!)

He banned me.
 
Speaking of posters taking on new names, where is Frank Ivy aka Prezidint aka whatever else he has called himself over the years? I liked a lot of his posts but I imagine he would have some sizzling takes this year.
 
haha, you're lost.

Not for the first time, I believe, but perhaps the last? (or not), he said goodbye in the middle of a thread and I don't think he's been heard from since. I thought he toned it down a lot and had a spot here, so to speak. I don't really recall the context of the goodbye, but there you have it as far as I know.

He leaves every off season and comes back with a new handle once the games start. I couldn't stand his first iteration but grew to really like him as a poster. Hope all is well.

Lmao for those that have been talking shit bout Vance can eat a frank. I've seen them practice and with everyone healthy he is by far the most skilled. And defense is not a problem he stuck AG full court and kept him in front of him and on the offensive end he's a bucket whether it's a three pull up attack Finnish at the rim it don't matter he can get points filled. Not to mention his ability to pass is one of the best on the team th dimes he throw is crazy. Yes he has been shooting terrible from the field but that's ok he's goin through a slump which I'm pretty sure he's in the gym gettin ready for Cuse. There is nothing wrong with his shot he can get it off with no problem it's just that he plays smart I've been watching him play since 11th grade when he had to run pg at St. John bosco he is a force when he is in control. Me personally I feel that he's being limited for what he can do. They not making him play at his full ability. People question his dribble now but I'm telling you this man can dribble he kills in practice.
But with that being said I just got so annoyed with all yaw talking mess for no reason like yaw don't know what's real or the reality behind the scenes

Here's the good news from me personally, you're not coaching our UConn Huskies and hopefully for the area you reside, not coaching much more than youth leagues. Better news is he's at UConn where he will get better and be able to do the things you seem to think he can do now. He's a very talented kid and he's shown some really nice stuff, also some very rookies things. He will get it eventually and be a really nice player for this program. It will be fun to watch the transition from good player to impact player. Until then cool your jets he's in good hands.

But thanks for visiting!
 
Was this thread made in response to his father's twitter comments?

Or are we that nice? Yes he'll be better, but right now he's shooting poorly and if you can't shoot, have trouble rebounding, and trouble playing defense you should have limited minutes until you come out of the shooting slump. Shooting well seems to fix most things.

We'll see in 3 years or so who on this current roster is an NBA player....my bet is that Vance Jackson will be one.

I really like his game, agree that he has a terrific skillset and think he is the 2nd most important player for this current season after Jalen. But before we give him the keys to the team, can we see him actually play well in a smaller role?

youre a scout and you want vance to start playing point guard lol? theres nothing to see here vance is going to get plenty of minutes by default. if he continues shooting 30% from the field with a questionable shot selection, thats who he is as a player. and "sticking someone full court" isn't half of what defense is.
