It's because he knows... he knows

Quote from: ErickJD08 on December 02, 2025, 09:54:25 PMThe problem with Ben is that he is the same player since sophomore year. He should be the clear second best player and he's not. The real issue is the sophomore and juniors. Parham is worse than last year. Norman hasn't improved. Lowery hasn't improved. And their team defense blows. We give up so many layups due to blown assignments and late rotations. I don't see how this team turns it around.

Finally, Ross does not lead. The team had no energy and Ross was low energy too. They look like they are mailing it in so the seniors need lead. Oh well

Ben is nowhere near the player he was his sophomore year. If you want to make the case that he's the same player on offense, I'd disagree but at least I can see that. He's gone from a bad defender to a good one. And he used to struggle with the connecting pieces of the game and now he does a lot of the little things right.

Ridiculous. All there is to say after that is " glad we won but we played like trash and need to be better"

Quote from: TheREALwrk on December 01, 2025, 10:27:08 AMYou count having Ben Gold as having something?

GREAT to have you back, REALwrk. As usual, the guy is spot on.

What even is this list...and the Joplin disrespect, not that it's even fair to compare a grad to a current 1st year player

Quote from: Johnny B on December 02, 2025, 09:46:20 PMTough to remember how good all those 2015 guys were but
James a bit over Wilson
Ross a bit over carlino

Wash for Wilson and lowery I think as
Wash for gold and Juan. Don't recall how good Juan was his last year.
Fischer light years above Hamilton and parham. Honestly both teams are pretty closely matched I think

Duane then is better than Lowery now. Juan was solid his senior year. Fischer would go 20 and 10 easily on this year's team.
