GoZips Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Any leaks heard in ref to Rico's violation and how long that he may be suspended for?? Hopefully long enough for Deji to get some good playing time. He can only get better. When did we change our goal from winning games to developing players? Do we also hope that Zeke gets suspended so that Josh gets more PT? Great observation. Alex will be suspended at least through the West Virginia game. What ever he did or did not do is not our business unless it is a felony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q tried his best but he's just not a 1 guard. He's so much better playing off of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Wow, do we need Rico back. Q tried his best but he's just not a 1 guard. He's so much better playing off of the ball. Q is 1/2 as effective a player at PG as he is on the wing. Having him handle the ball, when he should be cutting and slashing, negates his strengths. Yeah, we need him to play PG because we have no one else. But opponents have to LOVE Q having to deal with breaking the press and distributing the ball rather than him pouring in 20 on a series of cuts and open-look 3's. Like Brett McKnight last year, Abreu's indescretion wasted a player's (Ibitayo) much-needed redshirt season, and is costing us W's too. We are a VERY mortal team without AA at PG.

We are a VERY mortal team without AA at PG. +1. Man does Deji have good size, explosiveness & arms that reach to the ceiling, but he sure looked like a true freshman last night. AA is definitely this team's QB. We didn't stand much of a chance without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 AA just tweeted: Immmmmmm BACK...!! This is very good news. +1. But that tweet sounds awfully cocky and unremorseful for the pain his absence cost the team vs. WVU. I wish his tweet read something more along the lines of, "I'm back and want to appologize to my teammates and fans for letting you down when you needed me most. I promise this will never happen again. Go Zips!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 the dude's got 250 followers. Basically just his friends and a few fans, I don't think a college sophomore needs to worry about saying the right things 100% of the time on his twitter. Now if it was a post game interview or he was Jared Sullinger, maybe. Let's just be happy he's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Clicked that Twitter feed, are we assuming the "I'm back" is related to basketball? He also hadn't sent a tweet for 3 days...maybe he was just saying "I'm back on twitter." Just saying, with recent events I don't want to assume and be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
