Calillini
Now appearing in Tampa
I respect your JMHO, but I posted the DMW stats as a factual, measurable point for discussion. The “wins games for us“ is begging for supporting data. Wish we had a WAR stat like baseball does. How many games has he won for us versus how may games has his anemic offense cost us?BRAVO.....................that is about as perfect a post as i have seen in along time stating facts about incoming recruits and not castrating DMW in the process....
I was not a supporter of DMW a couple years ago and got banned for going way over the edge about it........I will humbly state I deserved my ban and when i got to come back I started to think before i posted any thing that popped into my fragile mind...........
DMW does things that WIN ball games .....nuff said for me.........
I guarantee BU isn't playing DMW out of respect for staying the course with the Illini......BU is playing DMW because he wins ball games and makes plays that support that thought........Whether it's blocked shots or big 3's , DMW is a winner and that's enough for me.....
Also , your thoughts on Trent are spot on...........He is such a great image and ambassador for the Illini and I hope he comes back as a GA and eventually becomes part of the staff setting on the bench coaching future Illini.......Trent will hold them to a high standard to represent the Illini program , as high as he has done for 5 years now ........love me some Trent Frazier .......I really really really do............................
JMHO
I want to make one more point and that is based on a business concept called opportunity cost.
What if DMW had not come back for a fifth year. Who would get his ticks and would we be a better tournament team?
It is really hard to see any DMW improvement during this season while there are others who will be here NEXT year who might have benefitted THIS year from his minutes.
