Yeah, when you can't even show up in shape for your first year in college that's not a quality NBA suitors value.

He has potential, but his conditioning has compromised that from jump here.

O'Bryant looked good today. Just a bit over eager.

He did, but his hands are suspect, as with all of our bigs seemingly.

And along with all of our players his shot selection is a bit suspect at times. Again, my biggest pet peeve with Trent.

True, but even before that...

I saw enough balls bounce off Hamilton and JOBIII's hands today on passes, loose balls and rebounds to last me for five games.

Brady did not leave the team in bad shape, every decent player brady left him he kicked off the team, I.E. beau spencer and dennis harris Speaking of Dennis Harris what has he been doing dude was 6'10 could shoot and play the 3 or the 4, CTJ shoulda played him alot more


Taz, warren, green didn't get kicked off the team. Spencer didn't get kicked off either, TJ had a real problem with Spencer from day one. Spencer is playing very well for Nebraska. JOB will be here IMO atleast till he is a junior. Not sure he has the motor the the NBA. He is talented just takes too many plays off.

Spencer failed out at LSU, but don't let facts get in your way.

Trent said post game 13 assists to 9 turnovers but don't know if that was official.

Outrebounded something like 39-29.

But balls bouncing off hands aren't all turnovers but in affect most of them are.

Lot's of settling for jumpers, often times ill-advised ones.

I will say the refs seemed very reluctant to call the Cats for over the back though.

That is how it has been for much of this season.

Do we have anybody on the team that can consistently drive to the hoop and draw contact?

So tj lets a senior who played for him for two years flunk out, that's a first. Wouldn't have happened if TJ would have wanted him here. Sorry Bubba.

So Trent is now supposed to be responsible for someone's academics?

You are splitting hairs. The coaches didn't want him, regardless of the manner of his removal. His eligibility would be up, had he stayed, so it's really irrelevant.
