Jamail is upset about something since Reggie left

[Norm]

Homer mentioned Jamail Jones in the Vandy post game show? Jones didn't even get in the game.

I hope it's something else other than PT.

If it is PT, does he see the defense he plays. Homer said on the postgame show that he has never seen a backdoor play. 

Have you seen DJO's defense, or Butler's defense? It's awful, Butler gets a pass because he's so good offensively. JJ is probably one of the top 3 shooters on the team, and college basketball is largely a jump shooting league with the 3 point line so short....get him in the effing game. Why does Junior or Fulce play ahead of him? I'd be upset to.

Maybe he is having relationship issues.

Maybe the girls in McCormick aren't treating him well.

Maybe he is having family issues.

Maybe he doesn't have a good feeling after eating a big bowl of Real Chili.

Maybe you wierdos should stop reading his twitter/facebook posts.

Maybe you should stop assuming things you likely know nothing about.

AMEN

JJ is turnover prone. Butler's defense is soft. I think DJO's is average.

I hope that JJ gets some minutes, but he will not take them from Jr. who right now is only getting 8 to 10. JJ is not a PG. The knock on him by Buzz is that his defense must improve. He has not played much to see if it is or not.

I can't decide if I find this thread hilarious or embarassing.

A bunch of grown men are sitting around trying to decode a couple of incredibly vague Twitter posts from a college kid...and, of course, they go directly to the worst case scenario. Seriously, get a life.

There is more then enough evidence this season that the Buzz mantra of "you have to be tough to play"/"you have to be a defender first to play" is bullshit.

Its a terrible defensive team that has shown not one ounce of improvement in 13 games. The guys getting into the game in front of Jones aren't doing anything to establish themselves so definitively ahead of Jones on the defensive end.

At this rate, the horrendous defensive skills of the team are so bad that Vander is going to go from a very good defender to an average defender simply by having to play with four guys who can't guard a cookie jar.

The team is lost. And there is no captain. Burial at sea is imminent.

I can't coach, and I certainly don't w the psych end of the coaching business.  But what I would have liked to have seen is Jamail Jones and others (Erik) get more playing time int he garbage games where the end was never in doubt.  This is how they will develop real in-game skills.  I understand the practice end - you play how you practice.  But I also beleive you have to see what these guys can do on the florr in a game.  My only disappointment, is that these guys did not get more when it didn't count - safe time to develop in-game, on-floor skills.

But who am I?  Just a fan.

Which is THE STORY when a player was a top 100 recruit.  If he'd been in for 3 minutes, there probably wouldn't have been a comment by Homer or a 30+ comment thread on MUScoop.

As a long time fan , I would be VERY disappointed if JJ "is gone"

unlike so many on this board, jamail actually has a life outside of marquette basketball that may be troubling him.
