Why Simpson is not a Geo clone

Can’t really compare Derek’s freshman year to mine. Such different cultures and level of talent. Kids gonna be a star. He reminds me of myself in terms of mindset and maturity as a freshman and maybe a little bit with the elevation on the midrange but that’s it lol. College basketball is not easy to play as a freshman. The mentality needs to be there. He has it. My freshman and sophomore year i was forced into a bigger role which probably helped me be a “star” quicker so even those few big games i had can’t really be compared either. Derek would’ve gotten the same amount of minutes on that team my frosh year. Either way i hope he ends up being better than me lol because then we’ll be pretty good 😂
Geo,

You are all class. I wish you much success in the game of life.

GO RU

Wish I could like this 1000X! Your honesty, integrity, leadership and humility are all reasons why you're going to be very successful in whatever you pursue. And it doesn't hurt that you were a key catalyst in changing the culture and level of success of the Rutgers basketball program. Thank you.

You had a much better handle than he has his freshman year and also much better court presence. He will get better though. His future is bright.
 
I am very very impressed with Woolfolk especially since he has only been playing bball for 2 years since before that he was exclusivley a football player
8 and 9 tonight I believe in some 20 minutes. Very impressive. He is quite athletic in his ability to go after and rebound the ball.
