I think it was more of a couldn't than a wouldn't. If I remember correctly, he was a SG in High School and seemed to be recruited more of as a replacement for TJ at SG. Circumstances forced him to try and become a PG, which to his credit, he seemed to really try, but he's just not wired to be a PG and distributor.
it does matter. WE HAVE NO TALENT AT POINT GUARD. none. and if we don't score another miracle transfer next year is going to be a giant leap for mankind backwards.
Agree with this.
Not sure if anyone remembers the Bryson Scott tweets about him working on his game, dribble, shooting, etc. from last offseason. I personally think the individual off-season workouts are greatly exaggerated by the fans. Nothing beats games and organized team practice is a second.
CMP absolutely, positively refused to play him. Let's not kid ourselves. If Painter replaced Mathias with Bryson instead of PJ at the end of Cincy game, there's a very very good chance we would make it to the 2nd round. Painter is a good coach and he knows Bryson is light years ahead of PJ defensively. He knew this but still stuck to his guns.
omg this. THIS. and several other games. do you guys even realize the number 36 ranked scorer IN THE HISTORY OF INDIANA high school basketball just transfered from Purdue? and to add to it, he loves defense. if the staff recruits this guy, they HAVE to figure it out. It's why they make millions. I'm glad I mailed my JPC renewal over the weekend because I probably would have to think long and hard about it if I had to cut that check now. Football SUCKS and now we can't even keep indiana kids in the basketball program.
I don't know, but how would he ever find out riding pine? He can go back to school whenever he wants if that's what he wants to do.
Man, I had this thread pegged right from the beginning. Given I could been right in any thread since CP3O... posts something in every thread ripping painter. This thread makes me laugh, so many have said "We have to get 4 and 5 star guys. why can't Painter ever get those guys?" Then its "It doesn't matter what they are ranked, as long as they fit." It comical on here, just so much changing opinions depending on how they feel that day. Whatever argument they can use to fit their hatred of Painter. Here's an idea, if you hate Painter so much, go cheer for another team. Why would you want to be in such a miserable state all the time? Painter is here for a minimum of 3-4 years now, especially after a pretty successful season this year. So get used to it or leave. You will probably save yourself and bunch of other people some unnecessary annoyance.
it's not an argument. It's a fact and thus it has merit. Sorry it doesn't fit your agenda. Many more great HS players DO end up being great. just a terrible comment. Go get your team of 2 star non great HS players and I will blow them out of the gym with guys like bryson.
ok school is in session. red herring - something, especially a
Yeah, the kids somehow manage to really develop. Just reading the comments about recruits and high school rankings made me think that Wisco never seems high on the list year after year, but have been very good. He either picks the right kids....or knows how to coach at a different level. Sort of like Gonzaga and to a degree ND. I know some here have a knack of digging up stats....just tossed it out for curiosity.
Dekker for sure, Koenig (UNC was after him), and probably Hayes (4-stars with some services at one point). Gasser and Kaminsky were three stars.
