I wouldnt mind updates on guys not playing or coaching anymore. Is Lucas Johnson selling insurance? Is Mike Tisdale still working at Scheels in Springfield? What is the latest on Jereme Richmond? I only know about Richard Keene at this point (because he is my cousin).

Mike is down in the Texas store in The Colony. Former home of Deron Williams.

The only person I really see him switching with is Sencire, but Sencire has the physical ability on defense that Podz just doesn't have. And our press suits SH really well. I have nothing against Podz the person or player, I just don't think he fits very well with us this year.

Maybe you make the argument he switches with Epps, but Epps is a primary handler, quick, and has higher upside. All things equal, you play the younger guy with the higher upside most of the time.

I think Adam Miller is going to be one of LSU's top players this year along with the Murray St. transfers that the new coach brought along. I watched the LSU and UMKC game. He was diving on the court multiple times going for loose balls and was really engaged. I think he felt like he should be a more focal point of the offense and that wasn't going to happen last year. Timing is everything. If he came in as a freshman last year and with everyone leaving, he could've stayed and had a prominent role on this team, much like what Coleman Hawkins has this year. I just think it was a combo of impatience and the need to find a role where he felt like his skills would be showcased more.

Thought the guy was great for as a freshman. What games were you watching?

Came in as the third highest rated recruit we’ve had since they started tracking that and was willing to sacrifice his own game to help the team.

No denying his ranking... my thought was that offensively he seemed one-dimensional against high level talent. Driving to the basket he seemed to get stuffed a lot.

I think that’s pretty normal for a guy that isn’t top ten when they first get to major college. I thought by the end of the year he had found his niche and was ready to be a huge weapon for us without Ayo. That’s why I still don’t get why he left.

Heh, I totally missed that Miller stayed at LSU. I checked a TCU boxscore the other day. :ROFLMAO:
