Kolek planning to go pro
Always nice to hear one of your players described as "terrifying" to opponents.
Deadspin stinks. If you want real college basketball analysis from a free blog, follow Bobby Reagan with Barstool. The guy lives and breathes college basketball and lives in Cincinnati so he does a fair amount of Big East coverage with Xavier being in his backyard.
Cocky? Very rarely. Must have him confused with Andrew.
No one reads Deadspin for analysis.
You should've stopped your statement at Deadspin...
Yep. Big difference between "cocky" and straight up "confident".
You can't appreciate national media attention? Hmm, weird, but telling.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
I didn't care about the cocky remark, but the one that stood out to me was the D'Mitrik Trice comment - implying that him and Haarms are far superior to anyone on the MU roster not named Markus. Weird? So, Trice hits a bunch of 3s against a few cupcakes, has been largely invisible since, yet he is miles ahead of Sam and Joey? I don't think so!
When Markus gave F%cky the throat slash last year, was that being cocky? It's OK that he's cocky, as long as he backs it up.
Are we all forgetting that Deadspin was the first (semi) legitimate source to report the Bo Ryan affair? That alone should merit their existence until the end of time. The only way they could top it is if they published "ND Sucks: the 4ever story".As for Markus; the throat slash at UW, the "you wanna go home, let's go home" at the free throw line against (I believe) Creighton, the waving goodbye to Dean Wade after he fouled him out. I think cocky might be the wrong word, but he definitely plays with a chip on his shoulder (which is a good thing).
Here's what it says: "Dominant Big Ten players Carsen Edwards and Ethan Happ come close, but even they have a more active second option in Matt Haarms and D’Mitrik Trice, respectively." A "more active second option" refers to teammates who take more shots. It is not a reflection on their talent.
Trice averages only 0.8 more FGA and 0.1 FTA than Sam does. Hardly significant. Purdue's 2nd option based on FGA is actually Ryan Cline. Cline attempts 0.5 more FGA but 1.5 fewer FTA compared to Sam.Very bizarre statement from Deadspin.
