    He's a nice player. Played for BRoy's AAU team as I recall. A bit of an attitude but that's fine. At least he has a pulse unlike a couple of Hop's last name recruits.

    Reading the story, it sounds likeWichita instituted a rule partway through the season where if you made a mistake, you were immediately benched. Stevenson said that's why he left and it sounds like other guys are leaving too.

    What a dumbfuck move by the coach

    Big get. He didn’t have a great shooting year at WSU, but he is a shooter that can create on his own. Definitely necessary when we have an offense that doesn’t create.

    He definitely lost the team considering most of the team are transferring.

    Might be a case of a good coach’s ego getting too big and treating players like they are disposable. See Chip Kelly as another example.

    Stevenson is a type we have been missing for awhile. Attitude, opposing fans will hate, etc. We have had lifeless players for awhile. When watching Pritchard this year, I was wondering when we would have a guy opponents will hate. Stevenson has a different game but some similar attributes besides the fact they are both white.

    Streaky shooting, combo guards with attitude are a good thing. Wish we had a team of them surrounding Stewart. We might have been good. Instead we had tools guys that play with no heart and aren’t actually good like Wright, Bey, and obviously McDaniels.

    Stevenson, Tsohonis, Battle, Bey, and Jackson Grant is a decent core. Need Nate Roberts, BPJ to develop and a couple more recruits tho.

    I really wanted him out of HS. Love his game.

    This. We have not had a cocky, brat-faced white guy shooter in modern UW history. I hope this guy turns into a stud because I want to have a guy that every other team's fans hate instead of guys our own fan's hate. Also, lifeless is a perfect description of the entire roster sans Stewart.

    Hopefully that core involves an academically eligible Green and J’raan Brooks is more than depth.

    Appleby is hard to hate because he did nothing but shoot. He doesn’t yell after and one’s because he never had any. Appleby had no game except shooting. He coaches guards now and while you don’t have to be a good player to coach and train, what can he show them about ball handling, getting into the lane, and making plays?

    Disagree. He was easy to hate because he was goofy looking with his hobbit hair flopping everywhere and his pasty white/bright red skin.

    He was a smack talker too. I remember him popping his jersey at the UCLA students after UW came back from like 18 down at the half there. Back when UCLA mattered.











    Not to mention UW.

    Why do you hate Appleby?
    Because he wasn't cocky, wasnt a stud (especially later in his career), and got pushed around. He was fine, but definitely not the kind of player I'm talking about.

    Other schools definitely hated him, he always got most of the student section attention.

    He did shit like this too (though to be fair Brooks knocked him out in their previous meeting)

    I still blame Apples for the 2006 loss to UConn. Jensen too, but all apples had to do was face guard Rashad Anderson.

    Per my Messican sources (tindal22 was there!), Appleby sat out in the hallway of the team hotel that night bitching to his girl back home how it was all Jensen's fault.

    To be fair, Jensen deserves 99% of the blame. All he had to fucking do was let the guy go to the basket uncontested

    Jensen, ftg. Saw him at a football tailgate about 7 years after he graduated and the guy was still wearing his team hoops gear. Also sat next to him at graduation and he was pretty dumb. I let him read my Motor Tend magazine I brought with me to wait out the three hours of shit speeches. CSB.

    I’m watching the end of the game now. Up 78-73 with 30 seconds left, Anderson is left wide open for a three. Jensen closest defender. Dentmon hits two FT’s. Jensen with the idiotic foul for a 3 point play. This was really stupid. Anderson hit a tough deep 3. We had plenty of time to foul tho and probably should have.

    We did everything wrong except we did hit our FT’s. I don’t blame Appleby too much. That was a tough shit that Anderson hit.

    And Appleby was an inch off from hitting the winning three to end regulation. Fuck that game.
