    Who is the last Romar player that completely sucked as a freshman and turned out to be good? Green sucked. 2 points, 1 rebound, .2 assists on a team where it shouldn't be tough to get minutes.

    Even maligned guys like Dentmon, Gaddy, Andrews were better than Green as a freshman. He sucks until proven otherwise.

    Justin Holliday is the only guy I can think of and Romar raved about his athleticism and defensive ability from day one.

    Holiday is the guy I've always thought Green was reminiscent of. Obviously I don't expect him to develop like JH did, but he's the best comp I can think of.

    Aa to your other question, Gant maybe? I don't remember him being anything as a frosh, not that he was ever great.

    And I'll readily admit my hope for Green is all eye test based. His numbers are terrible. But I think he's a good athlete with a decent stroke who has the makings of a good defender. Definite developmental project but I think he can get there.

    Green is a serviceable athlete. He's still far from a good athlete. He's just not an obvious disaster like Dorsey.

    If he doesn't drastically improve his shot, he's done. A guy that is hyped as a knock down shooter shot 27% from 3 as a freshman.

    He's not a point and Thybulle has one starting spot likely locked up for the next three years.

    There are a lot of variables, but I'll stick with him transferring out in the next year or two rather than him becoming a solid starter.

    I'll doog out to an extent about Dickerson and Thubulle, but not Green. I saw nothing to make me think he will be actually good.

    So another upper class man thrown to the waste basket leaving all of two players older than soph.

    I'm not saying Dorsey should stay, but this constant revolving door of role players is exactly why uw can't make ncaas.

    Vets provide early perspective as well as a great push when the freshman wall hits. But Romar must not believe in any of that

    This.

    Dorsey may have been a recruiting mistake; I don't follow TBS enough to know. I do know this: Romar's good teams had upperclassmen and strong veteran leadership. And some of those senior leaders -- Roy and Pondexter and Dentmon come to mind -- were totally different players as seniors than they were as frosh and sophs.

    Green and the basketball team still suck.

    I said he was better than Dorsey.

    I'm not wrong.
