True, but 6'8 with good bloodlines is a great place to start

Exactly... and if he keeps attacking the baseline and dunking teams will stop zoning us. The hi-lo feed is clutch against the zone (might be too much bball talk for some, apologies)

I do hope during the off-season maybe he can put some size on and become a larger version of Pearl; however, I'm not going to hold my breathe... On a brighter note, how refreshing was BW effort and play tonight. I feel like, or at least am hopefully that, he and Goins both have realized the...

I'll gladly respond to exactly what you said... 1. Can we now declare JP Prince to possess the lowest basketball IQ of anyone ever to wear the Orange and White? No, we can't, because tonight he played smart, he attacked the zone at the elbow, he dished down low, and when our bigs received...

and some aren't as complex... way to quote the shortest response to your awful post

I hope someone rips this up... I would, and will, but am swamped with cases. JP had a very solid game, get off the kids case. Pearl played outstanding during his time on the court, which diminished with BW playing well tonight. He brings a lot in his time but some will never see past his last...

um... yeeaa, bout that Interesting, they started with Goins and Maze but haven't gone back to that combination yet...

Let's also not forget... It's a business, it's not college basketball that the SEC or ESPN truly care about. I hate to be that cold about it, but we're talking millions and millions of dollars. TV ads, apparel sales, sponsorship, nike v adidas... millions and millions of dollars

I hate saying this just for my pure love of basketball and sport in general, but I think there is some... support... or influence you could say in college sports these days. Football was a great example. For the SEC to maximize it's earning potential it needed to have 2 undefeated teams going...

You're right, I did, and I admitted to that in my first post. I also mentioned why with Tatum back, if he comes back, it makes that scenario more feasible. I also didn't expect Scottie to lose minutes, regardless of his play, not that he shouldn't lose minutes, I just didn't see it coming. Also...

I'll admit it, I was one who said we should not play both Goins and Maze at the same time. I did not foresee Scottie losing minutes, even though he hasn't played well, his potential is there to score and we need points. Also, if Tatum comes back then JP can be a back up pg if foul or fatigue...

The player development issue is so complex, at least to me. When you recruit these kids at 16, 17, 18 yrs old you have an estimated guess at best as to what their work ethic will be and how they will mature. I'm not by any means saying coaches have no affect on player development, I just think...

I think getting Tatum back will help tremendously. He simply allows JP to run back-up point if need be if they do allow Goins and Maze to play side by side and he can take some of the perimeter scoring pressure off Scottie. If BW could somehow get into game shape and allow for Hall and Chism to...

Why would Woolridge and Pearl give up minutes for Skylar? They don't really compete over minutes. This is the question everyone seems to be asking, why don't we play Goins and Maze at the same time. I guess I never thought he would take minutes away from Scottie but I do agree with developing...

I can appreciate this comment for days. Well said, and I think we should all hold our teams to high standards. And yes, this is all assuming we have lost Tatum for the year; his return could help the rotation mightily
