Then he became extremely productive and valuable as a junior and senior, because that is the normal progression and growth curve for players of that build and skill set. It would not have been best for MU had Lyons moved on after his sophomore year.

Article on Jackson & Barnett - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 09:17:58

Its really too bad that Barnett isn't eligible - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 09:50:41

I agree... - MuleTiger10 MU - 10/5 10:08:49

I've had a few people tell me to expect big things from him - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 09:56:49

I expect him to be able to jump and bounce a ball - alstl MU - 10/5 11:27:17

The thing that most worries me about comments like - FIJItiger MU

RE: The thing that most worries me about comments like - StlWeir MU - 10/5 10:53:51

Or I could mean that coaches have seen plenty of - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 10:32:56

But we know they haven't, so that isn't it (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 13:54:52

they haven't what? - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 13:56:13

Seen plenty of high level talent and have such a frame - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 13:56:51

ha ha. They coach against plenty of it. They have coached - SabertoothTiger MU - 10/5 14:42:17

So Wiggins isn't a high major talent ? - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 14:53:23

so you don't think this staff has seen high level talent - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 14:31:26

No, I don't (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 15:36:44

What is Andrew Wiggins then? - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 18:48:46

Wonder how the D2 coach beat an NBA coach - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:03:25

Are you implying that Kim is as good or a better coach than - tgr MU

- 10/5 10:15:46

Let me clarify for you then - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 10:09:17

So if he wins a game he got lucky? - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:26:48

Did you actually watch the game? - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 10:30:26

Yes I did, but you take one angle at all times, - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:34:40

My 'angle' reflects reality - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 13:51:59

So is Ben Howland's "moment" his loss to UMKC too? - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 14:29:18

No, likely his 3rd straight Final Four (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 15:36:19

What about the 40+ losses? You seem to be using the - StaleyTiger MU - 10/5 11:02:19

He got lucky that he played Donovan in probably his worst - StaleyTiger MU - 10/5 10:08:31

Auburn has been bad under Pearl, - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:27:56

Auburn has been bad for a Pearl coached team but still - StaleyTiger MU - 10/5 10:34:48

Oh great let's bring up the 4 star players, I love this one - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:37:28

He had one player he inherited who was better and that was - StaleyTiger MU - 10/5 10:45:55

The big boy was better than anyone we had.(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 10/5 10:47:12

Bowers? Yes he was. He was the top juco player and a - StaleyTiger MU - 10/5 10:49:00

That's him, he had a ton of talent, but was a head case.(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 10/5 10:54:57

Did we scrimmage a D2 school recently or something? - Diamond Dave MU

- 10/5 10:03:01

Practices have started, the Tigers are doing various - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 10:05:29

Oh OK. More mindless staff bashing. Gotcha - Diamond Dave MU

- 10/5 10:06:21

Yeah his comment doesn't make sense - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:04:01

Jackson will be a fan favorite - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 09:28:05

I think both have to have good years - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 09:43:59

RE: I think both have to have good years - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 09:51:17

You would take two players who you have never seen over - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 09:57:59

You didn't watch much of Wright and Gant then, - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:06:26

I watch all of our games. Your absurd assessment is - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 10:12:34

How is it absurd. You literally have said you couldn't get - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:29:55

Wright is at Colorado - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 10:55:21

If Wright ever plays a lot at Colorado, they will not - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 14:33:44

To date, he has only played for Kim Anderson(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 16:18:58

LOL(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 10/5 11:03:45

These are the type of kids fefe wants - Uncle John MU

- 10/5 10:44:47

lol wtf(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:17:14

He is right. This repeated claim that losing players is not - StaleyTiger MU - 10/5 10:22:17

Losing Gant was a bigger loss than Wright - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 10:40:13

Gant has gained zero weight since he was a freshman, - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:33:01

Gant would have been a better post option that Woods, Smith, - StaleyTiger MU - 10/5 10:39:06

Notice the player that have all left were recruited by - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:42:29

Although I agree about Gant - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 10:42:06

Usually I would agree, but in this case I think Gant was a - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:24:49

Your description would have also fit soph Leo Lyons - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 10:28:35

Leo Lyons is not Jakeenan Gant, moot point. - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:32:45

RE: lol wtf(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 10:19:09

Well he didn't put on weight and that is Gants biggest - Uncle John MU

- 10/5 10:27:40

Yep, if you're that thin you have to be able to play wing - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:34:12

What does that have to do with this?(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:20:21

Gives some context into his evaluation process (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 10:26:35

So he was wrong about something completely different - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:30:17

Yes i would, those 2 were part of 9 and 10 win teams - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:00:55

You mean Gant as a sophomore, playing through injury - FIJItiger MU

- 10/5 10:03:36

Gant's size and athleticism would be great in a role - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 10:36:55

Jackson has a college ready body as a freshman - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:40:10

It takes a lot more than size and athleticism to do what - sprintcar STL - 10/5 10:39:01

Carroll had the instincts - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 10:44:09

He's 6'8" and weighed 200lbs, - nerdmachine KC - 10/5 10:08:17

Yeah, the one that is still a twig with no position - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/5 10:08:09
