The 7th grader won't commit if romar isn't signed all the way through his senior yearDugtheDoog said:You fuckers don't get it. How can we expect Romar to field a competitive team when his contract only runs for 6 more years? Time to sign a lifetime contract or we're screwed.

Beach is a fucking moron and is usually dead wrong about most things- "UW will be the best defensive team in the Pac-12"FreeChavez said:
I've seen AB do a lot of critique of players and he gets many right, and some wrong just like anyone trying to predict a 17 yr old. He just seemed incredibly jaded against Zach and kept going even through his whole year at UCLA. It just seemed oddly not AB for player eval. It just seemed personal. Maybe I read it wrong, b/c usually he's not like that. Just was odd.dnc said:
That must have mostly been during my first exile from DM.c. I remember Beach having some negative things to say about Levine when I came back but they didn't seem like anything more than classic WDWHA stuff. Not saying he didn't have a personal vendetta against the kid, I missed a lot poast purge.FreeChavez said:
Yet I still can't get out of my head how beach railed on Levine. Everyone misses but that one always felt personal from him.dnc said:Gotta hand it to Beach, sounds like he nailed the Dorsey call.
Surprised to hear so much optimism on Winters, he's not a guy I had any expectations for. -
I did find it funny towards the end of my time over there the best poster who gave inside info on recruits and players was Jason Mccleary. He was inside the inner circle and gave solid player evals(unbiased). It was funny that he stopped pooosting towards the end b/c he got tired of bickering with kim and AB who knew about 1/4th as much as he did. If you want some good info on local hoops scene make sure you check jason out at leftcoastrecruiting. He seems like a really good guySevenEleven said:

Jason had the inside info, but he's incredibly biased to kids from the Northwest. He overrates them.FreeChavez said:

Anybody that thinks that JJ is KD 2.0 is Jay Cutler FS.
Beach's fundamental problem is that IMO he doesn't really understand the game. He sees the flash and individual skill but doesn't see how that fits into a team dynamic and how the best players are ones that make those around them better.
Shocking that KJV and the management gave shit to a valuable poster who provided good information ... sounds like a lot of twisting to me. -
the team has some solid role players, but just lacks NBA caliber talent. Kemp is a nice offensive piece, but he's shit defensively. NWG is a good distributor, but isn't a #1 scoring option. Perhaps Dorsey can be that, but he's unproven
-
NWG could be a #1 scoring option. He was pretty good last year and looks like a lead guard to me. After that, there really aren't any top caliber players.
The idea of Jarreau is better than he actually is. He has never looked like he had a great handle or was a great passer despite all the talk of him being highly skilled. I heard he has bulked up, but as a freshman he is a skinny, soft big guy with a decent jumper who sucks finishing around the basket. Then last year he had one good game against Central and tore his ACL. At this point, I would expect to be disappointed. -

No outside shot, and lacks elite level athleticism to create. -
He doesn't have a great shot, but 36% from 3 isn't bad. He has a nice floater too. There have been plenty of really good guards in college basketball that were not elite athletes. I think he's really good. The rest of the team mostly sucks.ThomasFremont said:

In the NBA i would agree with you, but not in college. You do not need an elite level of athleticism to create. You need brains, knowing what you're good at, and how to pick your spots. NWG is smart as hell with the basketball and knows how to use his body and pick his spots. What's interesting about a guy like NWG is that he will find a way to score, yet people with immense athletic talent just can't seem to find a way. He will average around 10-14ppg this year, with 6 or 7 assists. He's not flashy, but he gets the job doneThomasFremont said:

CJ wilcox was one of the most athletic guys we've seen in years and the guy was baring on scared to go inside the key.
