I should have noted the time, but didn't. I was kind of sitting there thinking about next year when this kid gets a year under his belt. C-Boogie, Eastern and Cline = one wicked backcourt!
Why don’t we post him up more when Haas is out? Put Haarms at the high post and 3 shooters around the arc.
Why is it that some of u so concerned with my son shot. Many threads on here about his FT or his lack of confidence or whatever you all have opinions about an 18 year old kid. Leave him be unless you walk in shoes or play basketball at this level you have absolutely no idea what he goes through day to day. I would like to see some of you shoot the ball and than have people criticize or Nick pick at your game and than post a thread about shame on some of you for doing what you r doing. He fine his shot will get better in time but my gosh leave this kid alone you will miss him when he gone bcuz some of you you don’t appreciate what this kid brings to this team. Im gonna stand up for my son he can play and with some extended minutes he’ll be able to help this team in the long run. You never no what you have till it’s gone.
I was not being critical. I was simply amazed at the athleticism of Nojel. I was like... Wow! Holy crap that was great!
This isn’t directly at you didn’t mean to single you out but there has been several threads about his Ft or shooting and quite frankly it’s pretty petty of some on here that keep bringing it up. I no what he needs he will get the help to correct his shot that will help with his FT than that will make him a matchup problem moving forward. He now has figured some things out and now he’s putting it all together why we all now can see what this kid can do. Like I have always stated just need min to get in a flow than he can be very productive offensively and defensively. His t/o or drastically down and he isn’t fouling like he use too and his on ball and off ball defense has been impeccable so he figuring it out the more he is on the court. 5 days home during Christmas break it’s me, him and Trainer helping him get his shot right and being consistent. As conference play begins the bench will be needed and he will be a big piece they will need during conference play and NCAA Tournament run. He gonna be just fine
He is there but that is your opinion and I will leave it at that. Funny how so many no what my son can do when he hasn’t played much to show what he can do. It doesn’t matter he is my son or not I will still comment when I read some things I feel may be negative I just happen to be his mother that is all. Not playing can mess with anybody mind and at 1st it was messing with him than he and I had a mother son talk and now he is figuring it out and he at ease now mentally. He gonna be just fine.
Thanks for your advice but it doesn’t matter whether I’m on this message board or not I still hear the insane remarks in the stands about his FT shooting I’m a parent sir and like most parents we will react when someone is saying things about your kid. I no not all on here are critical of his FT shooting but to keep bringing it up and making threads about it is a bit much now. I no exactly what’s going on with my son FT shooting and I’m in the process of getting him the help he needs to help fix this problem. He works hard everyday on his game including his shooting and FT to get better. I no it’s not the prettiest shot many have seen but neither is Lonzo Ball shot or many other players whether nba or college don’t shoot the ball well including their FT. Great thing is it’s fixable and I’m gonna get him the help to fix it. Let it be is all I’m saying and enjoy this kids special gifts and talent he does have while he is here at Purdue. There is a saying be careful for what u wish for right we’ll you will miss him when he is gone. He has size 6”7 and so much talent some of you haven’t seen yet and it’s beginning to show each game he plays just a matter of time he puts it all together.
One thing to keep in mind with all of this, those people that are yelling about his FT shooting both on here and in the stands, I have little doubt could not do any better. And, if they truly did know what they were talking about, they would be coaching somewhere in the big leagues.
So by your analysis, Rick Mount knows nothing about shooting, and if he were to post advice on here he should be disregarded.
I can’t stand when I go to a game and I have to listen to complainers, but that is the world that we live in. Your son is on a big stage now and there is nothing any of us posters here can do to change that. Just know that for every critic, Nojel has many fans supporting him.
. Since you all in my business I replied back to that poster it wasn’t directed at him and I did not respond to any other post about it. You choose to support him I don’t care what you do and sir i comprehended every word every other poster said that was a compliment. I brought up the FT bcuz there have been several post about his FT shooting and I overreacted to that poster. Bottom line sir your advice is not needed I no what I’m doing and I’m not bothering anybody so you can go and keep your funky comment to yourself and move On. Funny Lavar comment however I’m nothing like Lavar you have no idea who I am b4 you judge me stay out of my business and you can keep your sarcastic A$$ comments to yourself. I don’t need your permission to be on this board and I’m done even replying to you I’m moving on Peace.
Im well aware of the many posters complimenting my son on his efforts and at 1st I read it wrong than realize he matboy was complimenting my son on that particular move and than more jump in on it all good comments and I did reply by saying that message wasn’t directed towards him, but it was a general statement about the threads about my son FT shooting and I was kinda let it go move on to something else to post about than this constant critique of his FT. I’m well aware of his struggles with his shot and FT shooting so are others who see it and it will be something we get him help with. He working on it and I’m going to help him get it right.
