...terrific 21.9 rebound rate -- the highest of any player on our Board. He's big, long, athletic, blocks shots and shows a lot of skill in the low post and on his mid-range jumper. He had 12 rebounds and seven blocked shots against San Diego State and impressive 25 points, 12 rebounds five blocks against North Dakota on Friday. A large contingent of scouts are heading to the Utah-Wichita State game on Wednesday. .."

Sounds very impressive.
On the other hand, rebounds were abundant in that Utah/SDSU game.Comment

"19. Jakob Poeltl, C, Fr., Utah
Poeltl is quickly emerging as this year's draft sleeper. Through the first six games of the season, the Austrian native ranks fourth in all of college basketball with a crazy 39.87 PER. He has the highest PER of any player on our Big Board. He has a terrific 21.9 rebound rate -- the highest of any player on our Board. He's big, long, athletic, blocks shots and shows a lot of skill in the low post and on his mid-range jumper. He had 12 rebounds and seven blocked shots against San Diego State and impressive 25 points, 12 rebounds five blocks against North Dakota on Friday. A large contingent of scouts are heading to the Utah-Wichita State game on Wednesday. If he plays big there, he'll rocket up this board. Given his size and potential, there's no reason he couldn't be a top 10 pick by the end of the season."

Seton Hall's head coach made a weird comment about Ron after the game.
“Everybody looks at him as this white kid who can’t defend, dribble or do anything else,” Willard said.
He followed this with lots of praise, but what the hell is he taking about?Comment

Ohhhhh what's the word I'm looking for here......LOL maybe???? :)Originally posted by Manhattan_Shocker View Post
No...without getting into "race" and "assumptions" and "don't judge a book my it's color - (I mean cover)".....all we need to remember and "get" what Seton Hall's coach was referring to was pretty much what the Kentucky kid told Ron last season. "You're a bad...bad boy". I assume most can garner what he meant. And I assume also that there are still many college players that are still surprised that "whitey" can ball like he does.FINAL FOURS:

I'm not sure who "everybody" is that he is referring to, but anybody who's played against him would not give that assessment. Let "everybody" keep thinking that and Ron Baker will shove the ball down their pie hole.Originally posted by Manhattan_Shocker View PostComment

There may have never been a better post in the history of message boards than yours at showing what I try to say all the time to be true. Way too many fans let themselves get blinded by their rooting interests. Not just a little bit, but a "I'm ready to say crazy things" type of blinding. Everything their team does is justified. When the same things are done by the other team, especially if it is a rival, then dang it, they are the devil.Originally posted by TheYeti

What is the offensive part here? That they say he can't dribble, or that the explicit reference to perceived inferiority based on race? I have to go with the latter. Can you imagine if someone affiliated with a university said, "Everyone just looks at John as a black kid who can't do math or science, but he's actually fairly smart."? There would be an understandable uproar.Comment
