Ayo the “Squirrel” came here as a skinny kid from Chicago. He stuck around for three years. Listened to the coaching staff. Took the yelling and MFing like a man. Didn’t get all butt hurt. Didn’t sit on the bench pouting like a child. Worked his a$$ off. Year three he was first team AA. Year four he was an NBA starting guard in his home town. Outside of Ayo the “Squirrel” and Podz the “Cat” how much have progress have the other cats shown? That was my point.
Oh, I'm very familiar with Ayo's development. Very.
But the post to which you originally responded (#230 by doowink) was answering a question posed by Calvin in post #228, asking "...how many guys who've left under BU made a significant step forward at their new destination?"
So doowink's reply made sense since Podz indeed flourished elsewhere after departing UI.
Your reply "And Ayo" is an excellent example REBUTTING Calvin's question, not supporting the Podz example.
Squirrels, Cats. Both four legged, both furry, both have tails. Both deal with nuts -the former eat them, the latter are them at times. (Said as a proud cat guardian)
And I'm done hijacking this thread. (Apologies to others accordingly.)
Edited addition: Just saw Nuke's later reply so see we're all on the same page. Hope your Advil works.
