Here you go, I put this together. Make fun of me if you want but it is better than just saying he only looks 6'8
Even though I say I'm 6'5, I am exactly 6'4.5"
I say the Hat on his head adds a half inch
I only showed one reference, but I used several to make sure it the grid is scaled to the exact inch.

The talent is coming, but for the first time since the early nineties we will have:
Depth
Trent's first year was fabulous, and the North Carolina game was the most powerful example of DEPTH i've ever seen.
Our boys hung in there like champs. But then fresh bodies came back in (All-Americans)
Even our last Final 4 loss was a lesson in DEPTH. We didn't have a true PG, and Tyrus AND Big Baby were on the bench with fouls.
The really good players will be 2 aqnd done. It may be the perfect design to have Turner and Derenbrecker as seniors playing their ROLE.
Unfortunately, we are untolerably bad this year; hence making next year DO or DIE. I'll take that bet.
Holy crap, I had this exact conversation almost verbatim last night with the Parkview coaches... where do you coach?

Wow, that is impressive. Kind of wierd, but impressive. Nice work.

Im patient enough to give Trent 2 more seasons to work on this team. I believe he will turn this around.
Can only go up from here anyway right

Thought I'd bring a little Fark Board to the Rant for once

But it's the same stupid fricks on this board crying about the basketball coach to get fired when every single person on this board realizes that he won't be fired.

What are you laughing at? As a recruit, J'Mison was a 5-star center and a top-25 prospect. Very similar to O'Bryant.
Ask yourself this, who on our roster would you NOT trade for Morgan at this point? He's certainly way better than any center on our roster.

Looking at your scale, I'm only willing to give him 6'9.5" because of the hat. Still, I'll take it.
On a side note: Nice lifevest, McFly.

That's exactly it. Your career in stand-up awaits you. Jokes on you, though, as you're still thinking about my junk.

Morgan is horrible and is actually significantly worse than Malcolm White. I am leaning towards him being worse than Garrett Green as well, but certainly no better. Don't be fooled by his recruiting ranking. The guy is a joke.
The good thing about him is that he makes up for his lack of ability with his totally shitty attitude. So, there is no player on LSU's roster that I would trade for him, including Populist, who is a walk-on.
And yes, I have seen him play a bunch of games, for both Baylor and UCLA.
Hopefully you were speaking in hyperbole.

I was certainly overstating my point. I don't think I agree about him being worse than White or Green, though. His attitude is certainly an issue, but I'd probably trade White for a bag of Cheetos and remote-controlled fart machine at this point.
This was the real reason why I introduced him to the discussion. I'm not going to give Johnson a pass because of a single recruit that he will have next year. That is an idiotic way to deal with this.
It is the equivalent of saying, "Yeah, LSU sucks royally this year and Brady has lost the team, but he recruited a 5-star center! You'd be an idiot to fire him!"

Morgan never wanted to be a Tiger and has never fit in anywhere he's been. I find it comical that his self-inflicted wounds have been his demise. Had he become a Tiger, he would have 1) blown 2) been criticized 3) belly-ached
4) transferred to Baylor.

You're arguing tangents of what I said. Plus, it is pure speculation. Who is to say O'Bryant doesn't transfer in 2 years? It's all speculation. I can speculate just as well that he would have come in and we would have made the Final Four in his freshman year. Brady would have been named national coach of the year and been given a lifelong contract.
That is my point. People are speculating that he will fix our problems. The same thing we were told White would do. The same thing we were told Dotson would do. O'Bryant may come in and win FOY for the SEC. I hope he does, but it is far from guaranteed like many on here think.

I never said O'Bryant would save LSU or TJ. The problems are a little more wide-reaching than just the Center position. Our guards have a tendency to miss makeable shots. Offense gets a bad name when shots don't drop. If those shots go down, the team looks better. We just need an identity...doubtful that'll happen in the last 3 weeks of the season. Molding young men into a cohesive unit is the job of the coach. Not sure cohesion has ever occurred in the last 2 seasons. University of Iowa has NO TALENT, yet they have competed with some of the big boys in the Big Ten, Twelve, or Fourteen...whatever it is now. Talent isn't of the utmost importance in College Hoops. It never hurt anybody though.

yet your entire thread is speculation of "A stanford fan's take on T.J." the irony!
stick to speculating about your "nuts". It appears to be the only thing you have a good "handle" on. That, and no dick of course!

You're acting like our guards don't have a penchant for chunking up bad shots. That leads to a lot more bricks. Bad shot selection = bricks = bad offense. That is a matter of fundamentals and discipline, which are supposed to be this guy's strong suits.

How is the thread speculation, dumbass? I don't think you know what that word means.
I see you're still stuck on discussing my crotch. You may want to see a preacher or a tranny about that.
