Oso planning to go pro
Lots of Bailey disparagement in here. Seriously? While he was inconsistent, he is our best returning player. Cain, Theo, and Elliott have had their moments, but none are any more consistent than Bailey. He's our returning leader in offensive efficiency and tallied more rebounds and points than any of those guys. He would be a big loss to a team that lost a lot.
He ain't that good Unless he makes a complete 360 with his offense.. NBA standards must be pretty low. Must be flunking school.
A complete 360? To end up exactly where he’s at?
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
If he's the best returning player Marquette is in big trouble this year. Nice kid, but doesn't do anything particularly well outside of rebounding. If there is a season, and he makes a leap, I'll happily eat my words.
Vander exploded his junior year, hope Bailey can as well. A good year would be 12 and 5, in my mind.
Put me in the group that's puzzled by all the BB hate. Yes he was inconsistent, but who aside from Markus wasn't last year? I think there's a lot of backup QB syndrome going on if people think that Lewis and Osa are immediately going to take all his minutes. I'm glad he's getting feedback about his game, and look forward to his contributions next year.
These are realistic expectations. And have no place on the message boards. Seriously though, I would love this from a consistency standpoint. When BB got out of his own head, he had some amazing games (St Johns, Butler, even the Maryland game). He reminds me a bit of Sam where if he saw it go through early, it helped for the rest of the game--however, when it didn't feel in rhythm, BB sort of disappeared and became deferential where Sam would try and create a shot for himself or others. I really hope that whatever feedback and coaching BB gets in the offseason helps him mitigate this.
What does the fact that other players (everyone not named Markus) were also inconsistent (i.e., not very good)? Believe me, if Koby, Jamal, Greg or Theo we’re “testing the NBA waters” it would raise eyebrows too. If Brendan’s Dad wasn’t Thurl this likely wouldn’t be happening.
BB took a step up last year, but, to compare him to Sam Hauser? Sam was consistent AF and markedly better across the board.This notion of getting "feedback," when so far removed from actually being drafted is kind of silly. Brendan has to get better at everything across the board to have a chance. IMO, Jamal Cain is a better pro prospect - 2 years younger, more athletic.
He is not that much of a difference maker
Nice kid, but doesn't do anything particularly well outside of rebounding.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Brendan should just read scoop instead of getting feedback from professionals
for what its worth, rivals writer based in Utah said Bailey will be going pro regardless
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
I mean, I don't necessarily see this happening, but it wouldn't totally shock me either if a GM took him with a 2nd round pick as a favor to his dad. Wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened.
