At this point in their career, I would have to say Stokes. He was a top 10 recruit? No way. He has shown me nothing to warrant that. Other than size, he doesn't have much game at this point in his career. Plays flat footed like he has cement in his shoes.

So barely a YEAR into playing college basketball you want to call Stokes a bust? He commands a double team every time he touches the ball. It doesn't help that we have other players that don't know how to pass into the paint and create space for him to actually get a chance to score. Is he perfect? Hell no. He needs another year to develop more. You my friend are a joke.
Obviously most of you can't read. I said " at this point in his career". If any of you think Stokes is playing like a top 10 player, I'll debate you all day long. A little harsh? Sure is but it's tough to face reality. At this point, I don't see any improvement in Stokes over last year and to be honest, he almost looks uninterested. At least last year he played hard. Something is amiss.

Well, let's see.
1) He's 18 year old and expected to be the best player on the team.
2) His running mate is out right now and replaced by a consistent underachieving player.
3) The offensive strategy sucks.
4) The guards don't get him the ball when he's open.
5) When he gets the ball, he's doubled team and has to pass it, expect his teammates stand around like zombies.
6) He has to be the best rebounder on the team, even though he gets pushed around as much as anyone.
Just stop it.
I don't always agree with you, but, you do make some valid points and when you do I ditto them as you know.
I think it's time to re evaluate where we are as a program. despite differences we are all on the same team. Are we not?
