He really needs to get going. I would call him a disappointment to date so far. I would love to see him getting it going tonight.

When he shoots in rhythm, he has a really good percentage it seems. I think his problem is that he shoots way too much when he tried to take people of the dribble and takes wild, contested shots.

He's not very good playing off the ball. Playing w Ben should've made him a better spot up shooter. He needs to take the ball to the goal more and get to the FT line.

Hopefully coach fixed him up with a few slump busters to bed this week. Get his mind right because we need offense from him QMan and Sampson to keep UK's defense honest.

He's in such a slump, I don't want him to shoot. If he can't dunk it, pass it...

It has to happen sometime. Perhaps the magnitude of this game will be the stimulus.

At a certain point a "slump" is no longer a slump, its just that the person isn't a good shooter..... Blakeney, just isn't a good shooter.

He looks confused out there on offense and isn't a very good defender or rebounder. Not sure why he is playing. Like Quarterman in his freshman year he needs to ride the bench and work hard over the summer.

I would be happy to pay TQ, Hornsby, Grey, and Patterson when he is healthy. Shortess is a better option right now.

Blakeney is getting a bad deal around here. He isn't scoring on offense so ppl thinks he sucks. He has played great D ever since the Houston game

At what point is it not a slump? I know he was highly ranked as a recruit, but sometimes these things don't always translate to college basketball. Elbert is a good example.

Since coming off of the bench, prior to MSU, AB was shooting over 50% and had drastically improved on the defensive end. As true freshmen go, I could not label him a disappointment, even prior to MSU.
