I recall some of the posts about JB abut this time last year...   ::)

I anticipate hitting the "ignore button" on Rossknife within five more posts.
All this talk of rights.  So little talk of responsibilities.

If Rossknife was a good troll, he'd build up a more subtle post count with a little neutral MU commentary then blast MU's players.   He'd last longer on the "ignore" count.

I saw good things out of Yous.  I think that is what you have to look at after 2 games.  He altered a couple shots, passed out of the high post (underrated skill), and worked hard.

OF COURSE THERE WILL BE NEGATIVES!

The strength will come, the skills will come (Someone earlier here said he looked robotic, true, but soon those robotic moves will become ingrained into his movements to the point he can do them without the thinking and the stiffness-fluid, spontaneous motion), and the instincts will come.

If you were expecting something great in two games, you're an idiot.

The team, as it is now, is not low post dominated.  The play does not focus on the low post.  So his "lack of moves" doesn't bother me one bit.  If he stays out of foul trouble, gets that shot from the elbow going and continuous to pass out of there successfully, rebounds defensively and alters a few shot he will become a vital part of an MU team that will finish higher than 12th in the Big East.

As he got more time in there, he seemed to grow a little more in confidence.  I think he'll be fine.  When is another question. 

He's gotta play with his hands up on D - which is where he got into foul trouble (kept reaching his hands down to the level of the player he was guarding) - and feel confident playing under the rim.  One is coachable, the other will come with time.

totally ignorant post. you expect that just because he is now the only health 'big' on the team that his skill level automatically increases tenfold?

and if you are going to compare him past big men we have had and their development, at least try to show you have done some research

considering it is Thanksgiving though:

I'm thankful for Rossknife...i've been wanting to test out the ignore button.
