From where we were at 6:20 p.m. on Oct. 18 (when Shumpert picked GT) to where we are today . . . well, that seems like a bad dream that MU moved quickly by.

At 6'10" and against blow out competition, I would expect him to score 25 points/game----he's probably lining up agaimst guys 4-5 inches smaller than he is-----different story in DIv 1-----I remember Chris Grimm scoring 20+ a game against smaller dudes----different game at #5 in Div 1.

i believe what murph is trying to say, although not in eloquent fashion, is that although nice a players hs #s dont necessarily mean much. Case in point, look above at butch and grimm. butch was a mcdonalds kid, grimm was prob one of the higher recruited big guys MU has had.
HOWEVER, dont underestimate the fact that this kid doesnt have big shoes to fill at MU. Many athletes would dream to be in a position where they come in with staff, folks, and Lord dreaming for some solid inside play
mudi et al------Here he's playing against a team that they blowout by 25-----a triple double doesn't mean much when you have a Goliath lining up against a David without a sling shot. Before we get excited, let's see how he does against the better teams in his area!
SJS/84----I think it's fair to say that a team OTule's team beats by 25 points is not one of the better teams on their schedule!
My point is that a 6' 10" guy with BE recruitment credentials and lining up against guys 6'5 or 6'6" (average height of a HS center) should get 25 ppg by default----and at least half of those on putbacks!

I agree with that... By the way McCheese, how do you put your hat on? Doesn't look like your arms reach all the way up there.
----let's wait and see how he does against the better teams on the schedule
we could use Chris Grimm this year.
You guys were all excited about Grimm too (as I recall he averged 20 ppg)----my analysis projected him as a project and that evaluation was 100% correct!
I'm not saying at this point that O Tule is a project-----need to know the classification of his team-----but as I say----when a guy gets 10 blocks in a single game, he's either a super star or he's playing against exceedingly weak competition !

...especially after this year when Burke and Barro leave...
Can anyone tells us which category O'Tule's team falls into within the divisional scheme of Texas HS BB?
McCheese----whe's the last time you heard of a BB player blocking 10 shots in a single game----I have never heard of it and I played against Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlin. Had to be against pint sized players or he's a super star !

then there is the competion factor which you also snub!
I'd still like to know what level O'Tule's team is playing on in Texas!
