Oso planning to go pro
Low trajectory, but he had classic form on the jumper.
I think you are right. As is the case with Burton -- and many other young college players -- JJJ needs to get better at basic defense. But as is the case with Burton, JJJ's quickness and anticipation led to many deflections and steals -- which we needed far more of last season and will need far more of this year.Even if Derrick and Jake were as good defensively as Buzz claimed, they did not cause the kind of turnovers that result in fastbreak layups, one of the main reasons we struggled to score.
Who cares if they could create turnovers if they couldn't finish?
JJJ has speed quickness anticipation and court vision. He needs consistent minutes to take advantage of his skill set . I think he will do well in he new regime.
Rebounding is going to be the challenge for next year's team..hopefully Fischer can provide that...and Deonte get after it down low as well. Juan and Derrick play energy minutes off the bench...and keep riding them if playing well..otherwise spot duty.
As long as it works it doesnt really matter.
The Pancake Jumper as Eddie Doucette used to call it.
The entire key for rebounding next season is Taylor. If he doesn't average 7+ boards a game next year we are going to get clobberred on the glass.
PED's? No..... look at our cute dog we have!!!
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
All I know is that he was a mouse until he got into the PED cabinet.
Because it's all about DEFLECTIONS !!!!!!
Bridgeman's shot was incredibly flat. My recollection was that he explained this was the result of learning to shoot in a tiny gym with low ceilings (think maybe Gary or East Chicago, Indiana?).He made lots of shots...but his form was FAR from classic.
We'll see about Mayo
...somewhere LW is having a chuckle.
Anybody who gets a chuckle out of this is a total a-hole.
As long as he's not chuckling in an office at MU, I'm good with it.
Exactly. I'm having a chuckle at LW having a chuckle at this. He sucks
You might be chuckling at the thought of LW chuckling but the litmus test is whether Scoop's Buckchuckler is chuckling at your chuckling at the thought of LW chuckling. I chuckle at the very thought
LW had the task of looking out for the MU athletic department in general, this continues to be lost on you and others. This should have happened a long time ago. Risk assessment, which LW got. You keep viewing it through your Buzz eyes, while LW was looking at it through MU eyes. I'll take that type of a-hole any day of the week, because that's a longer term, strategic view and not a short term, win now view. There are chances and there are chances worth taking. You don't have to take every chance, every reach. You just don't have all the details....there's a reason why almost 3 months ago I had my sincere doubts he was back.Carry on.
Trying to recall ... did you even hint in the past 3 months that you thought there was a real good chance Mayo would leave?Not saying you did or didn't. Just wondering.
