There's no question that he's done better, with the same. But we can't be sure that we are better... I want to invoke a TMP response, but I am sure this makes sense in your mind. somehow. I hope it does... You don't have any guns in the house do you?
What??
I think for me the biggest problems JG had were defensive positioning and excessive fouling.
Rocky Balboa did...all he needs are some chickens.
In my bones...I feel like TB can play at a high level...I hope he finds a fit. He may still blossom into a fine college player and ... even ... find a pay day beyond.
Yes it’s the word accomplished. Not only have we stepped past the Archie ceiling, the “feel” of the program (fans, talking heads…) has also taken a step forward.
Woodson has been pretty honest that he's learning as he goes. We're trending upward where things went the other way for Archie.
Sorry, I meant Geronimo.
Well we're on opposite sides on these players...and I hope we're both right!
I think Bates does have the D1 skill that we all expected. It's my feeling that life got in the way, at the wrong time and he just couldn't pull it all together between the ears with the bright lights and MAJOR expectations that were set for him. There is a really good possibility (I pray) that what he needs is a "Change your geography, maybe you might be" a super star, type of moment (lifted from Zach Brown).
I agree/
I said this from the start and realize stuff happens but putting himself in that position to start his freshman yr was a really bad move
You ever made any "bad moves"? Ever? C'mon man. Most of us know that during a certain stage of life, there is a VERY narrow line that has to be walked and a huge part of success is NOT getting lucky within a few certain days of the month. C'mon man.
Didn't make that one that puts you behind the 8 ball especially in his situation. I have little doubt it was a factor in his performance on the court
There's zero doubt to me that it did. But your post, as an older person that has been through the bumper pool chances of life, your post came off a lot Holier than thou. You got lucky. I got lucky. I can't throw extreme question on Tamar for a eff up that will end up being the best thing of his life, EVER. It's not the same as delivering a gun to a murder scene.
I wasn’t glad to see Scoop leave. It meant he didn’t live up to expectations. It it’s probably best for both he and the team.
What? Archie never made the NCAA tournament or finished in the top half of the BIG. Is that argument a joke? That argument has no evidence to stand on. Yes, Woodson has a ways to go but Archie's tenure was terrible and that's why he got fired.
He is going to be a senior the "potential" is what you say when a guy is a freshman. He will never ever be a double double guy unless it a very low tier D 1 program. He just isnt that good period.
Archie had an NCAA tournament team the Covid year...to be fair. But overall, he didn't do anything at IU.
Yes, the AM era was a bust. No doubt.
Don't sweat it. His posts tell you and everyone exactly who he is. He brags and brags and brags, then insults people who aren't like-minded. I mean, how many times has he bragged about cozying up to Tamar's dad ... or how brilliant he is for his "Romeo is terrible" and "Bates will be one and done" takes? The list of such statements is seemingly endless. In short, he's a wanna keyboard warrior with no bullets ... and the quintessential "look at me Louie." Oh well, at least he's a legend ... in his own mind.
You know well what Allen Iverson said right? Practice? Practice? Are you kidding me? Practice?
"I'm not sure Woody has actually "accomplished" a ton more than Archie did, at this point,"
