Remember that Florida State team I said I didn't want to play 2 months ago and caught a bunch of flack?

Yeah, they are pretty good.

Recruiting does wonders.

Do they play fast?
How many deflections do they have per game?

Probably quite a few. Deflections are a key stat in modern basketball to coaches.

I just remember people doubting that because of FSUs history.

Amass talent and usually good things happen.

Also coaching....... See West Virginia.

Good grief people he was going for a loose ball out of bounds and the coach was in the way of him trying to get it. I'm sorry Grayson but:

[mdn82 26,344]

Seriously that kid just needs to go. Such a shame that a kid with that much talent just doesn't get it and is that selfish of a person.

Grayson Allen needs to get away from basketball and get the professional mental health counseling that he obviously so desperately needs.

That last video seems like a non-issue to me. Going for a lose ball, didn't want to smoke the coach by landing on him so he tried to move him out of the way. At this point though, everything he does is going to be watched and replayed 1000 times. He brought it on himself (with some help from the media) so he can't be too angry about it.

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,366]

Lol. He did shove that coach.


What a 'tard.

And that's the problem with Tom Crean. He's an above average recruiter and an average at best coach. He's not great at any one thing, except maybe PR but that doesn't impact anything on the floor. I think we'd all prefer a great X's and O's coach, but I could live with an average game coach if he was an exceptional recruiter (no, I'm not saying I want to be UK), Crean is neither.

From the FSU assistant who was part of the loose ball play and I commend him for his comments.

Classy move by the assistant but what can you expect when Allen repeatedly acts up and has gotten barely slapped on the wrist.

You just described Rick Barnes to a T.  Be careful what you wish for.

[KingPG21 6,587]

Big game for Butler tonight.

I still question it. They've been getting high level recruits for a while and underperformed. Just so happens that this year they got the guy that is going to be playing at the next level, and probably highly at the next level with Jonathan Issac. Then combine that with Bacon being back. I'm with you that you need to recruit at a high level to win, but you still need coaching. 

[OliviaPope40 7,442]

You're not going to hear about the foul on Dupree McBrayer  yes he stuck out his foot and fouled Bridges and if I heard my with my ears correctly MSU chanted Grayson Allen on that.
