Timely, informative, non-speculative, no hyperbole......what in the hell is this doing on scoop?     

Nice work, Andrei

If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing, then when articles from elsewhere that are posted to MUScoop and used to start threads are updated, that update now results in a new post to the thread that was already started rather than resulting in a new MUScoop thread.

Awesome work there moderators!!!!!

Murray,
Its past your bedtime

[Slim]

Will he be able to participate in boot camp?

[Earl Tatum]

Hope he contributes more than last year. Reminds me of Jamail Jones. Nothing

Might want to try constructive criticism next time.   

From my recollection, we had him playing out of position as more of a 4, when he seems to me to be a 3.  I realize we're supposed to have "switchables", but I think he would have more of a chance to look  good if we have him to start with the ball outside and work in, as opposed to having him set up in the paint and receive the ball.   My recollections of details from last season are sketchy, but that's how I recall him being used on offense, which was a result of Ox missing time.

Injured early...limited largely to mop up time...needed to add some bulk.  I think it might be tough for him this year as well because I think Taylor will be backing up Wilson with Mayo, Lockett and Blue playing the guard spots.  But can see him getting more and more time if he sticks with it.

Jones was a one dimensional player. Anderson has much more upside than Jones. I know they will not, but they should redshirt Anderson this year. That would give him enough time to fully recover and work on his weaknesses.

[GGGG]

I just think there is going to be a time this year that we will need Juan....just like we needed Jones last year.

[Earl Tatum]

I hope so he will be better than Jones. I bleed MU colors in Badgers territory in mid-Wisconsin

[MattyWarrior]

Juan Anderson is gonna be a player in my opinion. High character kid who supported the team last year regardless.
His frosh year was all bad luck and I wish he had a chance to show his skills. The one thing holding him back now is probably
the fact he couldn't lift and really add any strength to his frame,but I really like his game.

[Marqevans]

I thought Juan rebounded well and dove after every loose ball when he was in there.

+1
When Juan was in the game you knew he was in there.

I agree. Hopefully, it's more than Juan time this season.

Jones was shaping up to be a very good player, and was only asked to leave Marquette due to non-basketball reasons.

I'm sure Juan will come into his own soon.

[GGGG]

And that is why he was different than Jones.  Jones seemed content to hang out on the perimeter.  Those were the reports even out of the ProAm.  OTOH, people remarked that Anderson always seemed to get rebounds and loose balls.  The only concern I have is that I am not sure how much of a scorer he is going to be....I can't think of one thing offensively that he has shown that he can do particularly well.  Hopefully with time his overall game can develop.

Can't say I agree with your first statement and was totally unaware regarding your second.

I never saw Jones play well in a game, but I know that the coaches were still high on him.  I guess we'll never know now.

Juan is a very good passer. I think he has a chance to be a very good offensive player. He tries to do to much with the ball, which gets him in trouble. He needs to be physically stronger and try to be more fundamently sound when he has the ball.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

He's very active.

That doesn't mean he's good (yet), but he's active.

Could fill a small role this year, and will have a chance to fill a bigger role as a versatile forward next year.

I agree. Very impressive last year in the pro-am.

If he is on the court with Jamil, Todd, and Junior, then I think the outstanding passing will lead to many good shots.

[GOO]

What stands out on Juan is his long frame and ability to reach high for loose balls and rebounds.  Very active, of course.  What else stands out is his ability to do a little of everything: pass, dribble, jump, etc.

On the negative side what stands out is that he doesn't always know what he is doing/where to be, but as a freshman that isn't too unusual.  And that he is very thin.  Kind of hard to mix it up inside with how thin he is, but at least he is willing to try.

He may be a year away, if he can put on some weight.  But he could surprise this year during a streak or two and help us win a couple of games this year.  I don't think you redshirt him unless he isn't fully recovered by Nov 9th (or Nov 11th if he doesn't play in the Ohio State game).

[BCHoopster]

Besides being aggressive to the ball, which he does, I think I only saw him make a few lay-ups last year, can he shot the ball?  I think he has the same distance that Pat Smith had
under Al, you can only shot lay-ups.  As a senior in high school, he looked like he had an offensive game, did Buzz ruin it, his video looked liked he could shot the three, the next year
no way, what happens after high school, they lose there confidence?
