Like refusing to enter a game and pouting at the end of the bench?Better attitude than Epps? I loved Epps. Seemed to just put his head down and play.
Found something about taunting. It does not give specifics. I have seen some dubious taunting calls against Illini players.Go look at why Certa got a technical against UHIGH. One slip up like that in the Big 10 and he’ll be picking up his teeth off the court.
The Cubs will win another WS before the Cards do. Now back on topic, the Illini, as everyone has said, needs a veteran PG who has proved to be able to run a offense, has dribble drive and mostly, be able to make his team mates better making sure our shooters cash get the ball in shooting position. A stretch 5 who can pass from post and can shoot from farther than 2 ft and one additional shooter. We get this, we will contend next year by playing 10 guys double digit minutes while no one gets over 30 a game.
Is the B1G comparable to other conferences this year?Only 25 of those D1 players are 1st team all-conference. TSJ was one of those.
I didn't say he was, neither was Kofi, but both are really good college basketball players. This isn't an NBA discussion board.Is the B1G comparable to other conferences this year?
Still, TSJ is not a first rounder.
He put his head down...it was the playing part that he wasn't so fond of when the head was down.Better attitude than Epps? I loved Epps. Seemed to just put his head down and play.

Pass.
Yes.Is Cole Certa athletic enough to play in Big Ten?
Serious question. Do you think he could become an acceptable defender or does he lack the necessaryCerta couldn’t guard his shadow but agree kid can shoot
Have those 3-4 times been in person (in the gym) or on TV? My problem with your comment is the "couldn't guard his own shadow" comment. That's an absurd statement that doesn't lend itself to an adult conversation. I have seen him play live 5 or 6 times and still am not ready to make a productive comment about his defense. Too much zone for that. I think it's fair to say his defense needs improvement, which he probably knows as well as anybody. This kid has his head on straight and will work on all aspects of his game. He needs to gain strength and muscle mass but he knows that too. BU has been on him hard for quite a while. That says a lot to me.3-4 times and talked to numerous coaches who played against him
My first Tornado sighting of the spring. Welcome backCole Certa=Matt Chastain
Well, for me it is good natured as my friends/family are 50/50 and we enjoy ribbing each other. I will admit I rooted for the cubbies in their world series win.Well I am niether a cards or cubs fan. That said the Wrigley's didn't wanna commit. Since the Ricketts bought the team each has one. I will say Cardinal fans are much more annoying to listen to at least in Peoria. I don't see either winning one for a while. With owners that want to commit to win either could happen. That wasn't the case before 2009.
I more concerned about Illini hoops no matter what time of year it is. I hope we can land a big time transfer soon and both of you can be fired up about that.
Yes I do think that. Two things that will help him defensively: His basketball IQ is very high, which is an important element of defense. And secondly, his attitude. He's a dedicated kid who will work like hell to improve anything that needs improving. Let's not forget, he's probably 16 yrs. old.Serious question. Do you think he could become an acceptable defender or does he lack the necessary
athleticism?
Right. He left so it’s time for Epps to suck.He put his head down...it was the playing part that he wasn't so fond of when the head was down.
If all it took was a “head on straight” and “working on all aspects of his game” to play in the Big10 then basketball rosters would be the size of football rosters.Have those 3-4 times been in person (in the gym) or on TV?

How "Hard"? I believe BU has been to games and does stay in touch. I do not believe he is amoung his top choices nationally that he and the staff are recruiting the most. There is interest. He may have a commitable offer like Morez but I doubt he does yet. BU went hard after Morez and Amani. The moment they wanted to come he said come on.Have those 3-4 times been in person (in the gym) or on TV? My problem with your comment is the "couldn't guard his own shadow" comment.

My thoughts on Epps is 1)he had a nice first half of his freshmen year, 2)he was put in an incredibly difficult spot in having to run the point for 25 MPG, but 3)he made just terrible decisions in games later in the year and 4)he was getting slaughtered on the defensive end.Right. He left so it’s time for Epps to suck.
In non-revisionist history, he was one of our best players this year.
My points are valid and based on fact. Continue on. LOLWell, I think that pretty much invalidates anything he ever says again. The cubs win one after more than 100 years and their fans think they are the Yankees.
Right. He left so it’s time for Epps to suck.
In non-revisionist history, he was one of our best OFFENSIVE players this year.
When a kid won't run the right sets, then refuses to enter a game, then sulks on the bench, it kind of sours some fans' opinion of him.Right. He left so it’s time for Epps to suck.

Epps was the one not running the plays? I’d only seen Mayer mentioned by name before this.When a kid won't run the right sets, then refuses to enter a game, then sulks on the bench, it kind of sours some fans' opinion of him.
Us PhDs have to stick together or most assuredly we'll stick apart
