Being critical of a player and saying he needs to work harder is not hating, bruh!

Players need people to be honest with them and point out their weaknesses, or they won't improve. I hope Victor is the top player in the country, and I'm sure Coach D does, as well.

I asked how Felix is going to Texas?

My sample size was small, but in the State Championship game Peabodys point guarded was twice the player he was.

Felix was maybe 80% in that game and absolutely struggled. I've seen him play well but I certainly agree. He isn't Texas worthy. Saw LJ Rose play against Scotlandville (ranked similarly and going to Baylor) and he is way better than Felix.

Depends on what u want people. If u want a PG who can drop 20 a game you go with somebody like LJ. If you want a smart pg that gets his team involved and can score when you need him to you go with Felix. If you look at when he scores his points you will see that they come mostly in the second half and fourth quarter. The Peabody pg is very good but you must have not been at Xaiver when a healthy Felix gave that boy the blues. Did u watch the Scotlnadville/Aug game? You wanna talk about taking over a game!

Dee had 27 in the game at Xavier in November. There's a reason Felix didn't guard him most of that title game, and it wasn't cause he was hurt.

O its all good, looking forward to the signing tomorrow for Dee to Arkansas, and Josh to Cleveland State. Been trying to figure out whats going on with Duan, he did a workout for Georgetown 2 weeks ago, don't know how it went, and I think Troy is looking thru JC's, he was at BRCC yesterday, and in Texas today, so its been a proud time to be a Warhorse. LOL

The 27 he had at Xaiver came when we had that game in hand and the reason that Felix didn't guard him in the title game was because the coaches thought the length of Daniels would affect him, we all know that this kids head and heart was left on 2600 AP Tureaud! Is Dee gonna qualify?

Dee has a 3.6 GPA...Yea, he qualified. Go check the 4A All Academic Team. He signs his LOI to Arkansas at 230.

I wish Dee was waiting until the new LSU coach was hired, but I understand you have to take what's offered. Good luck to him!

Still don't think he would have gotten an offer with Stringer and Hickey and PG not being a need of priority. Think Arkansas is a better fit, he's gonna play early, similar system to that at Peabody and he's friends with one of Anderson's past players. He committed almost a month ago so I think he really liked them.

Oh, I understand. But Hickey could transfer and LSU will be in a bind at PG. Again, good luck to him.

1) You are about as wrong about LJ Rose as you could possibly be. Kid is 6'4 and a true PG. Runs the team, floor general type of playing. If anything he lacks shooting ability.

2) Did not see that match-up @ Xavier. Just going by the biggest games of their lives (understanding Felix was not 100%). Dee destroyed Felix at the end of the game to put it away. Felix was scared to extend past the three point line and guard him.

3) I did see him (Felix) take over towards end of the 2nd half and in the 3rd quarter of the Scotlandville game. Also note that Craig Victor had the best game I have ever seen him play in that one (or most efficient). I also noticed that when they went into a screen and roll offense late after Felix had tired out and couldn't go one-on-one anymore that he could not turn the corner on Zarif who isn't exactly the quickest big man in the world.

So now we know you are on LJ Rose's nuts which is cool. You have yours I have mine. All good. We will see who pans out as the better leader for his team.
Kobongo was all world in H.S. and he might be riding that pine or moved to the 2 guard next year. And for you to call the man scared, now thats a real bitch move right there. The kid was hurt and you saw that. He practically limped off the court against Walker. The way those refs were calling there was a reason both coaches did not line those two up head to head. Just so happened that our guy didn't pan out. In the Scotlandville game you said it man he tired out. He never came out that game which is crazy.

So now Felix is going to put Kabongo on the bench or make him move positions?

Dude, just stop.
