Next years Center

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Quoting so Willie can see and figure this one out.

Dung reads that as 6.9 penises per game, 4.20 rectums prolapsed grandly

[BCHoopster]

2nd best 6th grader???????????

Yep, hard to believe they rank kids so early!

Won MVP last 2 years at MU camps in the summer, no bad

That's awesome BC!  Hope he keeps it up and more importantly keep growing.  Have fun watching his development!

[tower912]

Talking about Owens, is Shaka hurting him or helping him. 

Hmmmmm.

[MU82]

All kids improve from year to year, grandson is rated 2nd best 6 grader in the state, improvement, all the time. Improvement comes from playing 2 to 4 hours everyday, hope Owens feels the same way this summer

Congrats to your grandson, though I'm worried about rating 6th graders.

Otherwise, trying to figure out what Shaka ever did to you.

It's pure stupidity, no reason too

[We R Final Four]

Points.  He is the wild card, the stereotypical 2 ppg scorer that Shaka would rather develop than bring in an 18 ppg from the Big Sky conference.  I think he will make a huge leap.

My bad....thought we were referring to Tre.

Looking forward to everything that DO will bring.....this year and next.

So, let us all hope for the best case scenario.  That your grandson grows and develops and lives up to this way too early ranking.   

What will you do when anonymous message board posters treat him like you have treated players over the last 10 years?

It won't be me.   I root for them all.

[BCHoopster]

I will be truthful about any player I see, a realist, all players have faults,
Love improvement.  Can not wait to see Tre Norman become a decent shooter? Even he admits his outside shooting is weak. Grandson has a lot to work on but basketball is all about height, hope he is tall enough, skills like Tyler Kolek!

[DoctorV]

Will you be satisfied if he ends up like Derrick Wilson?

He is a better shooter right now than Derrick Wilson.  Hit 4 3's in one of his games. Lacks consistency right now but that is expected

I misread this.

[BrewCity83]

All this time I thought BC was still talking about his 6th grade grandson

Last season I remember reading that Tre had spent time with Lillard working on his outside shot.
Then he comes out and drains one in the first minutes he's in the next game.   Then went about a month without making another.

[barfolomew]

I think he is.

Going right from 6th grade to being next year's center?

Shaka getting it done on the recruiting trail.

You seem a lot more "truthful" and more of a "realist" about Marquette players than about any others. All of our guys struggle, all opposing players are gonna torch us.

IIRC you were truthful and realistic about Kolek and Oso when they were sophomores, too. Glad you were wrong about them, just as you're consistently wrong about the great work Shaka and his assistants have done developing players.

We will for sure need development next year, I am very curious to see Clark and Amadou development.  You must think I am stupid enough to realize that kids do not improve every year.  One player that really improved from freshman to senior was Butch Lee, averaged 8.7 as a frosh, player of the year as a senior.

[Newsdreams]

I'm still concerned about 2028, although it should be a championship year

I don't think you're stupid. I think you don't trust Shaka despite a considerable body of evidence that we should trust him.

Next year's center?

The senior-to-be who has had 3 really good games in the last 12 days.

It is nice to see him scoring.  Shaka once again referenced the other 98% he has been doing well all along.

Yep. Now if he could just get a facial expression like the one they kept showing of Jop going up for a "GTTF out of my way" dunk. With his training in Haku, he should have no problem with this. Enough of this "Excuse me. I would like to try to make a basket. If I miss, you're welcome to the rebound" look. No more Kiwi politeness on the court Ben.
