DJ Newbill

[Ron Paul]

This should help stir the pot.  Newbill was #8 on ESPN's Top Ten list tonight with a nasty dunk.

[Ron Paul]

Also had 15 points and 16 rebounds, seven of which were offensive, say whatever you want about Jamil next year.  This kid could have contributed.

Who the hell is DJ Newbill?
Can he pass, dribble, and shoot?  
Traditional or non-traditional?
Is he a switchable?
Can he work off a ball screen effectively and create for himself or others?
Could he learn the sophisticated, disciplined, and demanding defensive system that Buzz has implemented at MU?

Yep, Buzz jettisoned the wrong dude. Shoulda ejected Smith. Major mistake.

I believe this is the 27th thread covering this topic.

Only the thread threads are more popular

Don't forget about the paint touches and being 'Us'

We have been seeing plenty of those over last couple years: Clark, Newbill Roseboro, Smith, meltdowns, selection of starters, McIlvane fiasco, etc. But hey, 40% of all players transfer, so don't worry, be happy.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Please, not this again...

[GGGG]

Again...he couldn't.  Smith signed the LOI, and was already admitted to MU.  Newbill signed his LOI...but had yet to be admitted.  Newbill was the only one that he could have ejected for Wilson.

Clark was a guy that was a year away from MU and only made a verbal.  Was Buzz in the room encouraging him that night?

Roseboro?  Comes off the bench for St. Bonaventure, averaging 9 minutes a game and 1 point.  That's a difference maker!

Smith, Did Buzz ask him to leave?  It was Smith's father-in-law that showed up in Buzz's office the day after Christmas demanding more playing time and designing offensive sets.  Buzz did the right thing by telling him it was his way or good-bye.

Newbill.  Buzz made a decision that he would rather have Wilson.  Cannot call this trade a bust until Wilson starts playing.  But yes, I wish he traded Smith for Wilson but that was not possible.

[jfmu]

ive only seen him play on tv twice but in those two games his box scores are extremely deceptive. he really hangs out on the wing a lot and then when he gets the ball he drives the lane. in those games i didnt see many jump shots. obviously i have know idea how he would be at mu but he wouldnt be close to the player he is at s miss. we all know with vander that its much harder to drive the lane with these top tier beast teams

[RubyWiscy]

If Buzz had kept Newbill MU would be ranked in the top 10 right now! What was he thinking?!

[4everwarriors]

Buzz coulda Roseboroed the cat.

Here we go again with the excuse makers and apologists.

Here we go with the complaining.

Once again, you miss the point--they were mistakes--inresponse to the posater that said Newbill was a "major mistake". Why do you insist on distorting things that I post? Maybe you made a mistake--but I doubt if you would admit to that.

[lab_warrior]

AGAIN, NOBODY CARES. 

[Lighthouse 84]

He's gone.  He's not a Warrior. Get over it.

[GGGG]

AGAIN, NOBODY CARES. 

AGAIN...it's easy to ignore the thread...and
AGAIN...multiple responses indicate otherwise

I would take Scotty C over any of these clowns.

So Crean should have played him as a freshman and never left so that SC would have felt like staying.

Clark did not set back the program as he was never part of it.

Roseboro never came here and did not take up a schollie for 4 years that could have been used elsewhere.  Mistake signing him?  Maybe, but it was corrected.

Smith was not Buzz's problem.  Smith was Smith's problem

Still don't know about Newbill until we see Wilson.

[ATL MU Warrior]

Ah yes...where are all the Newbill lovers tonight?  With the following line against mighty Loyola New Orleans, clearly young Mr. Newbill would have been a force to be reckoned with in the Big East. 

STARTERS               MIN      FGM-A      3PM-A      FTM-A     OREB     REB     AST    STL    BLK    TO    PF   PTS
Devonte Newbill, G   23          0-2         0-0           1-2         1           2        1       1        1      2      3     1

One game doesn't tell the whole story...unless he has a really good game. Then we can jump all over Buzz for "trading" Newbill instead of Smith

Exactly.  I figured I'd take 5 seconds of my day to tell the other side of the story...which somehow goes missing on here most of the time, unless the other side happens to reflect on MU in a negative light. 

[Lennys Tap]

Again...he couldn't.  Smith signed the LOI, and was already admitted to MU.  Newbill signed his LOI...but had yet to be admitted.  Newbill was the only one that he could have ejected for Wilson.

So it was the same situation as Hazel/Saunders - with two key differences. We kept Saunders dangling until late August - Newbill had an additional 2.5 months to find a home - and our coach at the time tried to pull a Pontius Pilate and pass the buck to the admissions office (even though there was NO scholarship available for Saunders). Yet the same poster who went over the top ballistic about what the Newbill situation said about our coach, our fans and our University was totally on board for what was done to Saunders. Makes you wonder....
