Message: [QUOTE="StllH8L8ner, post: 3797746, member: 10653"] Twenty or so years ago I went to an early season blowout at HCC and Chad Wise (RIP) had a few nice plays, a dunk coming down the lane and a decent game statistically. An older gentleman sitting directly in front of me at the end of the game stated "I like this Wise kid, I think he's going to do big things for us". Now we all know who else was on the roster at that point and how the season would end up but at that second, this gentleman had put expectations on Chad's shoulders that were very unrealistic. I feel as though for some, the expectations of RJ and Gaff are along the same lines as that gentleman's of Chad to a degree. RJ is looking like a mid-major player trying too hard to prove all of the scouts wrong. We don't need "All-MEAC" RJ, we need senior leadership and good decisions out of him. Right now, I think he's trying to be the guy who routinely torched Hampton and Bethune-Cookman. Those caliber of teams are not walking into the gym anymore so he needs to adjust his game a bit. Gaff I think will be okay eventually but it's six games into a really weird season so I give him a little bit of a pass...for now. I think he's playing 'not to get subbed in for' which is holding him back. [/QUOTE]
