He was awful last year, and yes we had athletes on the fb who couldve done what he did last year. Why are people pretending he was good last year? He was a liability and that's putting it nicely.
Again, nobody said he was great last year but those who understand the game saw a lot of potential. That call was soooo bad by you that I would think you would tone down your posts. Not stop posting just tone down questioning and telling other people they don't know the game. RU-choppin-Ohio was stead fast in his belief in Souf which was more based on his belief in Pike than his own evaluation. So that I can waive off and he actually makes other good observations. To be fair your next good "call" will be your first in hoops. You are passionate about RU and we are all rooting for the same thing but I just think you would be better off admitting you might not be as knowledgeable as you think when it comes to hoops.
So Nigel leaving the team hasnt been addition by subtraction? Because EVERYONE ripped me for that comment. I dont hear you clowns saying anything now about that. Funny how people only remember when im wrong
You can go back to the thread and see what i said. Pretty much everyone said I was wrong blah blah blah. What ive found on this board is that any time you criticize a player you could be right 99 times and still be called a dick 99 times, but if youre wrong a couple times thats all people will remember.
So, heres my answer to that. Nigel is a ton better than souf, obviously. However this team would be worse with nigel right now. He would take away minutes from geo/corey, he plays a less efficient game, and if his minutes got cut hed be an absolute cancer. I forget what game it was, maybe illinois but did anyone remember seeing him pout on the bench and not even celebrate when we hit the game winning shot. Didnt even smile. Hed kill the vibe on the team. We are much better off without him. He'd be nice if he was willing to accept 10-12 minutes a game but he wouldnt accept that
No doubt he plays hard and gives max effort but he also plays out of control and wreckless far too often. Hes an undersized 4 who tries to do too much. IMO in the limited clips ive seen of shaq carter, he can be a legitimate 4 who plays the role like a true 4 on both ends and who will play with a ton of effort as that is our culture. Love deshawns grit and toughness and effort but hes gotta start playing under control, hes going to cost us games if he keeps playing street ball. My opinion but I think we'll be a better team next year with Carter
agree with this. was a game or two prior (FD?) where he was all alone top of key couple times and put them up, i immediately said NO when could see him load up to shoot.
Also late in the game underneath, he gets put a pass on a silver platter, easy layup. Decides instead to crouch down and take his sweet ol time trying to get a dunk in a defenders face only to get stuffed.
Tbh didnt watch the stoneybrook game i was out to dinner with friends that night. My point is mainly he is a disaster against quality opponent, he happened to be awful vs hartford last night too
He had a shit game against the hall. Plain and simple. Some people just cant look past a state line. Sure it might have been trying to bring up a criticism after a big win but isnt that what a message board is for? To discuss the issues your team has?
I was trolling about myles powell and in hindsight it was in poor taste about his brother murdering a poor dude from behind in cold blood it had nothing to do with his play.
