WSU Versus Emporia State--Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[wufan]

In addition to being off the reservation about Landry being the second best player on the team. Easy does it there skippy.

Grady is better than Landry. Otherwise, count me as a Shamet fan! The other stuff, I disagree with.

Looking at the latest Tulsa game thread it appears there are more "skippies" out there
besides myself regarding the newbies. I revealed my skepticism before the game by
suggesting the freshmen ( not LS ) were over hyped and now others have joined in.
What really troubles me though are the sophs that have game experience. If they
continue down the path they are on next years freshmen and Winston are going to
get plenty of PT. As for TT - I DO see similarities with him and Holland. Both blessed
with the physical attributes / talent but haven't connected the dots mentally on how they
can help the team more than themselves. I predict that CF and LS will be the team leaders
of the future.

Who is Winston? Did you mean Willis?

Also I disagree about TT and Holland. Holland always appeared to have the Deer in the Headlights look when he made it in the game. So Far that is the exact opposite of TT. He just tried to do too much. We need to reel him in and focus his energy to finding the best team shot.

Stingers Up (No, seriously)- 48
Go Shocks- 98

Didn't you say the same thing I did in another way ? Yes, Willis not Winston, my bad.

I read it a different way. I'm saying that Holland didn't even try to help himself. He just didn't do anything when he got in the game. TT consistently trys to make something happen when he's in the game. In my mind that's a BIG difference.

I believe it is too early to throw the babies out with the bathwater after their first real taste of NCAA basketball. I hope they use this loss as an opportunity to grow, learn, and light a fire with in them to hustle, man-up, and play the Marshall brand of basketball that Shocker fans expect. As for Shaq, I hope last night's performance was an aberration because the kid has so much potential.

Fred won't play, frosh will show signs of what we can expect in the FUTURE, we win by 30.

Exactly.

No, you would be the skippy. Holland was a RS then flamed out. TT doesn't even almost resemble him and his skills. To compare EH to Glass is un-insightful. Glass was a last resort signing, EH has so much upside. Labeling Shamet the second best player on the team is beyond me. Carry on skippy.

SHOXMVC - you need to work on your reading and comprehensive skills instead of your
attempts to demean others. Our opinions differ. Of course with a healthy FVV it is clear
to everyone who the two best players on the team are. Having said that it is
my opinion that an argument can be made for LS to be the next best player. Mark my
words LS and CF will be the two best next season. I am all for the growth of our
current freshmen to have very good careers here, I hope one or two emerge as stars, but
right now other than LS I am not seeing anything. Sorry, but I call things as I see them.

[WstateU]

I just want to avoid another sting like last night...

[SHOXAAC]

Right now, LS is the second best
player on the team behind RB, but of course when Fred gets healthy he will be third.

No asiseeshit, my reading and comp skills are way ahead of you. To make a silly comment like this you deserve what you get. If you think LS (who I agree with you on being one of the top FR in recent memory) is better and more valuable than Grady right now, feel free to debate that with anybody on this fine forum. You will get your head handed to you. And all the rubish about TT and EH being compared to Holland and Glass in terms of bye-bye at this point is asiseedoubleshit. This would only be a conversation in March if they fall flat on their face at that point. Just take the "I had a bad posting day" approach. I should know, I have had a couple of "i'm a dumb schitt" moments on this forum. I'm at least willing to admit it. Your turn.

SHOXMVC - apparently you are more interested in your clever attempts to belittle rather than to
"debate". Sorry, I won't play that childish game with you.
