re: G Michael Qualls - formerly of Huntington in Shreveport

Qualls wasn't overlooked by LSU. Simply wasn't what LSU was looking for. His shot has improved TREMENDOUSLY. He was every bit of 6'6 his senior year and couldn't hit the side of a barn. Straight, dunker. Anyone stronger than him, he wouldn't even drive. Huntington came to Peabody in the Quarters and we put a 6'2 guard on him and he scored I think 8 points all at he free throw line. He averaged close to or over 20 all year.

But that's the difference with improvement and the way the college game is played. 2 kids from that same game, now on the same college team, Qualls got a chance cause of his size...he improved, Dee had 12 in that game against Huntington and sat for probably 20 of the 32 mins due to foul trouble. NOW...he's on the bench simply cause he's too small for Arky's system and sitting behind a PG who can defend due to size...but can't shoot. Just the way it is.
