Totally agree Cards! It's not like its a football team! LolCards wrote:Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you follow HU MBB and are a fan of this team, how could you not know the 8-9 names of the guys on the team who play regular minutes(and the corresponding initials)![]()

Maybe a disappointment but not huge yet lets keep the faith at least until the smoke clears tonight!!bobe13 wrote:A lot of smoke but no fire as yet. So far this year except for a couple of players has been a huge disappointment.
You sure that is Benardi's father quotes and not Lorenzo Ball's father? LOL!triplec2195 wrote:Well yes it was him knocking the program without a doubt and other players that he expressed his opinions about. He knocked his son more then anything else let's say constructive criticism! He was negative on the way some players weren't developed here especially post players and had some comments about a certain player that I thought should of had playing time but didn't and now that player is no longer here. Inside info. if u will.
I used to keep spreadsheets of the team so I could figure out what the roster might look like 4 years down the road. But I don't like reading posts with the initials either.Cards wrote:Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you follow HU MBB and are a fan of this team, how could you not know the 8-9 names of the guys on the team who play regular minutes(and the corresponding initials)![]()

Too funny but actually a very nice man( Brian's father) and I had to listen to his comments the entire game. Certainly had more BB knowledge then I did and at times I think his wife sitting next to him tried to pull in the reins. He watched Brian shooting three's in practice one day and kept saying his arc was wrong because Brian was missing a lot of practice shots. He went down court side and was making suggestions to Brian. He was always critical of his sons play but wasn't going crazy when he was having solid games. All interesting stuff but coaches have to put up with a lot of crap today with the age of the internet and all this sabemetrics which I think in concept spills over into other sports. I don't spend a lot of time listening to Lorenzo Ball he's a joke and falls into the category of the Kardashian's IMO. It's all about marketing a product to death and being an arrogant A-hole!daHUPride wrote:You sure that is Benardi's father quotes and not Lorenzo Ball's father?

The things you say that BB father said - makes BB father sound like one of us. lack of "development here..with post players"..."playing time" of players...no problem with those things said by BB father - especially if he was honest with the assessment of his sons play (which you insinuate he was).
Its always interesting to hear about a players or players parents insight to a teams workings - however those comments from those people are often jaded . Look at the backlash that ESPN is getting for giving LaVar Ball a platform to talk about the Lakers coach Luke Walton.
I am NO way comparing what BB father thinks/says to the blowhard Ball - but can you imagine what a coach, at almost every level now, has to do and listen to from every prima donna kid, every over protecting parent and their entourage?
Nice to hear about BB father - seems like a normal father of a talented child.triplec2195 wrote:Too funny but actually a very nice man( Brian's father) and I had to listen to his comments the entire game.

WOW - tough one. But if that were my kid - the only advice from me would be - it is about the opportunity to PLAY - play in games, play to and against the best competition that you can compete against. To work that hard all those high school years and maybe never see minutes is tough (unless they are not going to be prioritizing that sport-and that is OK too).HUSID74 wrote:This is an example of why it's so hard to get kids....this kid has an offer of a scholarship from Hofstra but may WALK-ON at NC.

This would be his THIRD transfer, Kansas (was suspended there) to ASU (left for personal reasons) to X... right off the bat doesn't sound like a guy HU would be comfortable with, surprised to see them mentioned.
But I guess when a 5 star McD's All-American top 25 national player with pro potential for a position of great need comes into the picture, you become open minded real fast![]()
I think the fact he's more of a mid-west guy doesn't seem likely for HU - but some mid major will likely get an impact player with this one.
