A very pro 3G guy

[ShockerDropOut]

RCIV was #1 on Sports Center Top 10. Happy for him, sad for us.

Had a very active stat line, some good, some not so good:

Good: 39 minutes (most on team), 19 points (tied as top Ark scorer), 6-8 FT, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block

Not so good: 6-16 FG including 1-7 from 3, 4 TOs

Thought the 39 minutes was very impressive.

The thing about RC4 is that you have to take the good with the bad. I didn't ever see him with a bad attitude, and his effort on defense improved. 3G would have rode him constantly regarding his defense, rebounding, and turnovers (maybe once in a while setting him on the bench while coaching him), knowing all the time that we needed him to score, while IB would put him behind Joe Pleasant (who anyone could see wasn't nearly as good) for the entire year.

One of the most puzzling decisions I’ve witnessed in my 96+ years of Shocker basketball.

I loved watching that man work

He's lucky Joe pleasant didn't transfer to Ark. :)

[WstateU]

He's lucky Joe pleasant didn't transfer to Ark. :)

I always thought 'Joe' might have had some 'Dirt' on IB...

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

He's lucky Joe pleasant didn't transfer to Ark. :)

Doubt a good smart coach like Muss would have done what IB did.

Best line of the year....:)

I think this narrative is overblown a bit. Counsel averaged 27 minutes. Pleasant averaged 16 minutes. Being in the "starting lineup" isn't everything.

[Shocktoberfest]

What isn't overblown is that Pleasant was on the court at all.

Might have been important to RC4

Bottom line Pleasant was terrible and RC underachieved.
