    I guess I should have mentioned living up to a rating as well not just potential, but most of the ratings to me reflect potential because no one really knows how a player will translate to the next level. I know that with a majority of them, its a given and will do good in college. But how did we get stuck with so many that don't live up to it, i think i just answered this in my head.

    Lose what? This is college basketball not a daycare, if the players get offended and we lose them, then they really don't belong here or at the D1 level.

    The problem with "talent" is when that talent doesn't feel like playing as it has been evident for several games now. Rojo is a great supporting guard as shown in the years past when the pressure is not on him to lead or to create his own. DD is, well i really don't know! I have heard a couple times this morning and from a couple different places that he is nursing a shoulder injury. DG is who most say a playground guard. JN is an athlete not a basketball player. You can go down the roster and come up with the same conclusions, these are supporting players not starters. Their in game IQ is terrible, how many times are we going to watch a guard give an assist to the other team by passing the ball directly to them? I am starting to believe that the "talent" from high school rankings based on potential is becoming a bunch of bologna, for some it works for many it doesn't! Rojo 49th, played well when playing a supporting role, DD was 40th is he playing any where near a top 40 player, no. Cujo 85th not even close and not that it matters anymore, DG 197, Jmo 117th, JN 127th. I for one am not all that worried about what CAM can do with FCTC's guys, but what I would like to see is some other players getting more minutes if the upperclassmen decide not to play. It is not going to hurt, obviously, but I would rather get the guys that could be here next year more minutes and more experience! At this point in the season, I don't think dropping the hammer on effort is going to have a negative effect. On the other hand, if the guys that are not getting minutes are so bad at basketball that CAM wont even consider them is a bad sign that we have a team that shouldn't be on the floor for any D1 team.

    College Bball Thread

    Lol, he is mainly a basketball fan that unfortunately was raised around Lexington. He actually watches some of our games and likes to talk about them. Doesn't trash us and has a sound understanding of the game. He actually said yesterday that he doesn't like the one and done system and has struggled to enjoy pUKe basketball for several years now.

    Just had an enjoyable Christmas party at my sister in laws in my sterling, ky. Her husband is a huge pUKe fan, got to watch them lose to ucla. I was also wearing my IU hat, lol. At least he is one of the decent pUKe fans though, lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    I absolutely know this team is worse, you can't lose the best 3 players (on a bad team), bring in the recruits that we did, change coaches, and expect the team to be instantly better. But improvement is always still a possibility. You can still see glimpses of improvements, in certain games, of taking care of the ball, defense, post play...., but they are still learning. I just really thought that last years loss to IUFW would have lingered in the back of the upperclassmen's minds, at least they mentioned it beforehand, publicly, but it didn't show in the way they played. Rojo showed again last night that he can't get out of his own way, 6 tos from a senior guard that has started all those games is beyond ridiculous.
