I'll say it. Drummond is already better than Shaq was at LSU. Simply amazing. Boat has stones the size of Oranges. Lamb has some of the smoothest finishes I have ever seen. AO played really well. Congrats and thank you AO!

Holy Homer Batman. Did I really type that? Maybe the homer in me just thinks that Drummond's upside is incredibly high. I went back and looked at Shaq's college stats, he was better than I remembered. I am pretty sure that UConn knocked LSU out of the dance in his last college game though.

Last night was the first 20-10 game of Drummond's career. That’s something even Emeka Okafor never pulled off as a freshman. Drummond is the first UConn freshman with a 20-10 game since Caron Butler in 2000-01.

BYU beat LSU in Shaq's last college game. UConn did beat Shaq and LSU 79-62 the previous season however. Scotty Burrell had a spectacular block on a Shaq dunk attempt that I still can't believe happened. It was one of Burrell's greatest games as a Husky.

Drummond isn't better than any of the players you named in fact he isn't even close. He is only 18 and has the athleticism and size to get a lot better and maybe then he can be mentioned in the same sentence but not yet.One thing for sure, Drummond has a ton of potential.

No one knows how good he will be. It's up to him. Hakeem Olajuwon was better than all those players mentioned in that post. As a freshman, though, he was very very limited. Actually, Drummond is better than Hakeem was as a freshman. Hakeem did not dunk much and had no post moves but he was an extraordinary shot blocker as a freshman. I can't remember how good he was with defensive positioning. I just remember him not scoring much and having no post moves. When he came back for his Soph and Junior years, he had a lot of post moves, and he was one of the best.

I just want to add that the UWV fans are a bunch of whinny hay seeds.

So you agree with me?
