he did not have the skillset to do that. And would get destroyed down low.

He was good for a big block every now and then due to his length, maybe a dunk or two, but we all saw he can't shoot for ****

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
