Great to see him play such a crucial role in the win last night.

He's not all the way there yet, but I think he's getting more comfortable with the competition at this level and will begin to improve even more as the season progresses.

Seems like a good dude too, composed and focused during games, even in the past when he underperformed.


He kind of looks gangly out there, I think he could benefit from some weightlifting. I mean, he would kick my arse in a confrontation, but he seems kind of outmatched in terms of physicality on the court.

Do we think he returns next year? I think he will and should, but there's still a lot of games to play this season and things could change. I think he could potentially be an all-SEC caliber player if he came back next year and believe he would improve his draft stock a great deal.

I think we get him back. At 6'2" he will have to prove he can consistently shoot 3's. He is a tweener of sorts cause he's not 6'4"+ and he is definitely not a PG. He's an off guard so IDK if his athleticism is enough to get him drafted this year.

We need more of what we saw last night out of him. I dont think the NBA is a reasonable destination for him after this year unless he REALLY heats up this 2nd half of season. I'm talking some 25-30 point games and he lights it up from 3.

South I also think Quarterman could skyrocket his draft status with a CONSISTENT year next year. I'm talking game in game out, every night. You think he comes back? With the new rule I think they can go to the combine now and still have time to remove their name. Was reading it on the Kentucky board

What is Blakeney's correct height? He's listed at 6'4" on LSUsports.net.

Tim Quarterman is already checked out. He played very good last night, but his mannerisms and facial expressions were less than desirable.

You don't really think he would get drafted if he left early do you?

They were commenting how Moody wouldn't get to play in the NBA. I would draft that dude ahead of Blakeney every single chance, and that isn't really a knock on Blakeney.
