He was never the best player on the court so I'll move on when I feel it's time and when I quit seeing ridiculous posters who believe he was any good except for a run (important one) of 8 games or so......in the meantime answer the question.....were he or Coombs fundamentally sound? Your support for the coward is mind boggling at best from my end!!!!

Coombs played like his feet were cemented to the ground but yes, he was fundamentally sound. No question. And he knew the game. His attitude left something to be desired but he knew how to play.

And, honestly, you're a grown man, no? You're hysterical about a 20 year old kid who left months ago, who also happened to win a national championship. "Your support for the coward ...." Move on already, psycho.

Who the duckk are you? Hysterical? Can you read or are you as stupid as it seems..............Coombs had no fundamentals so we see where you're knowledge is - zero........and calling me a psycho? You're kidding right? Funny

A reasonable person should be able to come to the conclusion that a Senior (regardless of who it is) who decides he wants to be tournament eligible is just protecting his interests as a collegiate athlete. Protecting the college experience that is.

This is a UConn message board so we have to expect biases. That is normal and what makes a fan a fan at times.

Is it Tilton or BABC though? It will be interesting to see what happens down the road.

2014 is mostly about Brewster/Expressions with Terrell and Abu and of course Rivals with Vonleh. I guess Goodluck switching to 2014 makes him a good case study for PC if he sticks with BABC (as he left Tilton). UConn is out on him already (most likely).

No offense, I doubt PC has a shot with Vonleh. Assuming nothing sketchy (grades, etc.) is going on, the blue bloods will be all over him and I don't see him going to PC over UK, UNC.

Terrell and Abu depends on how much exposure they get in the next year+. Both are going to be good players with a lot of big names going after them.

I don't mean to be a jerk but how is PC's APR looking for next year (2013-2014)? I know PC had scores of 896, 904 and 917 the last three years single season scores (not including the 2011-2012 data which isn't out yet). That would put PC pretty close to the threshold for not being NCAAT eligible. With the transfers you just had, how is this looking? Any word on the estimate for the 2011-2012 single season?

If PC is not eligible, that can have a pretty bad effect on recruiting.

UConn will get all three!

 

[caw]

I hope so (regarding the APR) it's such a joke of a score I wouldn't want any school, aside from maybe BC, to have to miss anything due to it.

I don't know a ton about those three's recruitment besides what I've read, so I'll take your word for it.

I would be "reasonable" as you say if indeed that was this Senior's intent.......but we know full well it wasn't......any reasonable person at least knows full well.......but you are correct as far as "what makes a fan a fan..."!!

I'd have to disagree with the idea that Jamal Coombs-McDaniel was fundamentally sound.
That's a term that usually indicates playing within yourself. Jamal Coombs-McDaniel always thought he was better than he was and forced all sorts of bad shots in an effort to get his, and didn't have one good pass in two years (I exaggerate for effect, but I don't remember ever thinking 'nice pass Jamal'). In fairness, he did have a very heady timeout. That was his biggest contribution to our 2011 run. He was a fundamental timeout caller. I'm not even joking - that really was an awesome timeout.

I wish that could be my lasting Jamal Coombs-McDaniel memory, but instead I remember him turning the ball over against Kentucky and not even trying to give up a foul as they sped past him at midcourt for a fast break lay-up. Because, you know, in his world he was too important to get into foul trouble. But oh well, we overcame it.

I actually thought early in his career that AO was going to be a pretty fundamentally sound rebounder, at least on the defensive end, but that came and went. His hands weren't always there, and his reaction time was slow - even if he did the hard part well and earned position, he didn't always finish the job.

Isn't Shabazz a BABC kid?
