Awwwww.  Along the same lines, Jahvon Quinerly, a 5-star freshman PG, has only played in 7 of Villanova's 10 games and is not even seeing double digit minutes.

Jay doesn't play him or let him develop. the talent is there no doubt. he has struggled in the tiny stretches he gets but no reason he shouldn't see 12 min a game

Just checked Grimes' kenpom player comps, most similar is Katin Reinhardt's frosh year at UNLV, thought that was pretty funny

Stoopid Jay Wright. What does he know? I hope Wright at least asked Ners for his input.

Can you imagine if we got a 5* like Quinerly and then Wojo didn't play him? Especially if we lost a couple of games we were supposed to win? Yikes! Scoopageddon!

Wait, I've got this.    ......you can't compare decisions that Wojo may or may not make to Jay Wright until Wojo wins two national championships.    Because even though Jay Wright started slow at Villanova, it is an irrelevant comparison because he was still Jay Wright and Wojo is dumb.     Pointing out ANY other coach's first 4+ years to Wojo is an excercise in futility because Wojo didn't do as well as I thought he should have done his first year.     Fire Wojo, because it took overtime to beat Wisconsin!.....

There, how'd I do?

It was OK, but your failure to mention Deonte Burton, John Dawson or volleyball is a bit de-motivating.

What percentage of your posts do you feel make reference to me?  You are on bizarre dude 82.

As for Grimes - Not surprised to hear he’s underperforming his 5-star rating. Was not impressed with his game at all as he played against us. Can see why Wojo and staff seemed to like him, though, as he seems to be the more fundamental type of player, versus being the really great athlete.

Grimes isn’t explosive at all - which is the trait I value most in a player. Can’t really coach up explosion, but a guy can become a good shooter with enough effort.
