[REQUEST] Bring back Cold for the offseason through OOC

[shock]

BRING BACK COLD, PLEASE. At least until OOC when the heavy trolling starts.

I concur.

If you're coming here or not coming here based on 1 person, you're missing out on 3,000 other people who are just as good or better than that 1 person

Nobody's coming here for one person. That one person however does generate lots of discussion and activity for 3,000 people.

[MoValley John]

I say let the chucklehead post.

[1979Shocker]

I say we wait until after HCGM retires.

Take what you have seen here this off season and compare it to this:

First post here. I was invited to join by Angry Wheat so I figured, why not? It's not like I have another Shocker forum to post on... :rollseyes:

A little copy/paste from MVCfans + more info:


My mole gave me a detailed report on the stable of studs WSU brings to the Valley table next year after attending a summer scrimmage recently. He sent me videos, pictures, and plenty of commentary on how we are going to be the deepest and most athletic we have ever been from top to bottom in probably the history of the program.


Those are big statements and they aren't mine, but if they are true, the Valley is in deep **** next year.


Cleanthony has continued on from where he left off in last year's Final Four run. We are going to have to start calling him Mr. F.A.A. because he pretty much owns the air space over Wichita State AND will the rest of the Valley soon.


Tekele is not only 100% Cotton, he is 100% badass. Don't piss him off. In one play, Cotton called a foul and was walking towards the opposite side of the floor mumbling about how he was going to shoot free throws. Free throws in a scrimmage... ya right.. lol.


While he was walking back, Fred started chirping a bit saying there was no foul and responding to Cotton's complaints as just arguing with himself. In other words, F.V.V. was kind of talking trash to someone you probably don't want to talk trash with. And nobody was laughing..


On the ensuing next couple plays, Cotton proceeded to jam the ball with authority over, around, and through anybody that was in his way.........


F.V.V. is pretty much one of the best sophomore point guards in the nation. He "marshall's" the court expertly and gets the ball to the right player. On this day though, he was scoring at will from deep and in the paint. My mole asked Shaq if anybody is going to stop him. He replied, "we are trying, but he is crafty". A video he sent me tells the whole story. He makes people look stupid.


Speaking of Shaq.... he said that Shaq must weigh like 400 lbs (actually 280 per Rosenboom) he was banging with the much older and much more experienced K. Coleby and not giving up an inch of real estate. Shaq is what 18 years old? ROFL! By the time he is a senior he is going to have tear tattoos all over his face for the players he has killed in the MVC. No, seriously. He has amazing ups for a guy nearing 3 bills on the scales. HCGM says he wants him down to 260. Good luck! Shaq took a beautiful lob from F.V.V. and flushed it with authority. He was way up in the air all 400 lbs of him (and this is AFTER having worked out in the gym with Kerry and having played at least an hour of very hard scrimmage).


Darius Carter....... BEAST. Supposedly he is very big - at least 6'8". My buddy said he looked taller than Shaq. He has very broad shoulders and plays wayyyyy above the rim. He looks as BCS as any player we have signed in memory. Just a very impressive-looking ballplayer.


Kadeem Coleby was a monster on the boards and made some nifty 15ft fadeaways look easy. He looks big, built, and very springy. I have no idea if he can shoot a free throw but I will tell you that many Valley teams are going to have no choice but to foul him if he gets the ball close to the basket.

...:cool:

Okay sure, other people have given insights like that on here. But look at this:

My mole sent me a few miscellaneous videos from a recent scrimmage. He said some of the best action is missing and to take into consideration that the players just got out of a grueling 2 hour workout in the weight room. There is a mystery player in here as well. Can you identify him?


Enjoy!

AND

Saints alive! A bunch of blurry, thirty-second videos...


And they couldn't get me more fired up for this season! Thanks for sharing, and shame on you for sharing. You're just making the time seem that much longer!

Yeah, blurry cellphone video. But doesn't it make you feel like you are there and in the action? I think in one video the ball almost hits the dude with the camera... lol

Looks like we could have a lot of fun this year.... the Fredster was tricky.

He said Fred couldn't be stopped. Wasn't Fred supposed to be a pass-first kind of guy? He looks to me like he is becoming a prolific scoring - pass second - point guard. I'm sure it's just the summer scrimmage effect. But his stamina was unbelievable considering he just finished lifting. He could play 40 minutes a game easy and then kick back with a beer. Well... no beer yet Fred. ;)




P.S.


Here is a list of the players in the video that I recognize:


Darius Carter - Wearing black shorts, black sleeveless shirt and a black knee support on right leg.


Fred VanVleet - N.C. Blue shorts, black t-shirt.


Kadeem Coleby - Red shorts with white stripe, white sleeveless shirt.


Derail Green - Grey t-shirt, Black shorts with yellow stripes, bright red shoes.


Shag Morris - Black tank top #4, black shorts with yellow stripes. Wide as a tank.


Tekele Cotton - White sleeveless t-shirt, black shorts, two black knee supports, black and yellow shoes, two-loaded guns hanging from his shoulders. I thought you couldn't carry those in Koch Arena?


Evan Wessel - shirtless white boy with 20% body fat?


Mystery Dude - Black body-armor style t-shirt, long silver shorts, very athletic and tall. I believe it is Green's friend. I don't know where he is from.


D.J Bowles - Grey sleeveless t-shirt, black and yellow shorts.


Rian Holland - White sleeveless t-shirt, black and yellow shorts.


Unknown Dude - Black and yellow t-shirt, shorts, and shoes.


Let me know if I screwed any of these up or I am missing anybody.

So yeah, I'll go where that guy posts, and I won't even lead the way. Shockernet is great, and I love all of you (no homo), and I will be around, but Cold makes the offseason. Period.

[Dave Stalwart]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm surprised its so close to 50/50. I actually thought most of the Cold hate was in good fun and that he was still gone because it had been forgotten to be changed back or that he was playing the silent treatment in retaliation. I didn't realize we actually didn't want him here.

Oh well. It's none of my business and I don't know enough about his history to have a real opinion.

[Dave Stalwart]

I just realized that in a presidential election, Cold is currently winning the popular vote by a landslide at 20Yes - 19No, or about 48.8% - 46.3% with 4.9 % going independent.

That wouldn't be a landslide by any stretch of the imagination. But someone closed the gap again anyhoo.

[jdmee]

The problem with Cold is along with the good, he brings the bad with him. I have no hate for Cold, but I voted not to bring him back.

This isn't Cold first ban. If it was I would have voted to bring him back.
This isn't even Cold's second ban. If it was I might have voted to bring him back.
I'm not even sure if this is Cold's third ban. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I don't think Kai is insane. He decided it is not worth to allow him back knowing where it will lead in the future.

[SubGod22]

I can only remember one other ban.

[pinstripers]

Was it McCartney and Wings?

[AngryWheat=FTW=]

If I was smart I would vote to keep him banned for obvious reasons. This is better than a soap opera.
