Sorry, I know our team shocked the world (ok maybe that is hyperbole, maybe it mildly tweaked the world) last year when nothing was expected. But at least those guys had occasionally shown some moderate ability on occasion for their previous teams. Jeffress has shown bupkis to date. It would be more amazing than Huggy making it through Betty Ford clean and sober if he us able to make any meaningful contribution (no, moderate effort on defense as welcome as that is isn’t enough). As always the caveat “Hope they prove me wrong” is being applied here to let me off the hook if, well, this ends up being wrong
Hinson on ACC radio says Jeffers making an impact next year. Biggest surprise contributor...
- Thread starter daytonpanther
- Start date
Lol great post. But really pretty spot on.
Hinson averaged 10 a game in the SEC his first 2 years then had medical problems.
Jeffress is in year 4 and couldn’t average 10 a game in the PSAC.
It’s an awful comparison
The comparison was regarding your comments on Hinson before the season. Lol. Maybe you just don't remember your comments.
He sat out 2 years, had a blood disorder and wasn’t cleared til after Labor Day.
I also said for 2 years straight Hugley wasn’t good and a cancer.
What’s your point? None of these things have anything to do with Will Jeffress never being a talented basketball player. Do you know the success rate of kids who class up (not to their original class but skip a grade)? It’s extremely low. The odds are astronomically high to be good. To do it with 2 grades is damn near impossible. It was a stupid decision basketball wise to class up. He never started on the EYBL, he played center against 5’10 white kids in high school. He was never challenged to figure it out. His game was completely stunted by staying at Erie McDowell and classing up. Had he stayed in his original class, he would’ve had time to figure out out to shoot, compete for a starting spot on team Durant instead of spot minutes, possibly get more athletic and let his game develop naturally.
Comparing what I said about Hinson before the year last year (when I knew it was gonna be almost impossible to get him cleared medically too) to what I’m saying about Will Jeffress (and have said for 3 years) is extremely stupid.
I heard that John Hugley is also responsible for inflation , Covid and the Russian invasion of Ukraine !
Another post of zero value from you. Shocker
Keep defending a marginal player who in his lifetime has beat up a mentally challenged kid, stolen a girl’s car, quit on YOUR Pitt panthers.
3 strikes and you’re OUT
Beat up a mentally challenged person??? Never heard this before. That's terrible.
Which is more or (maybe a little) less than what he provided 2 years ago.
I think he can do the same this coming year. I only hope he can gain at least a little confidence on the offensive end. He has to be at least a little bit of a factor of the offensive end if he's going to make next year's team better.
Sure, I agree with you. I don’t think sitting out helped his offensive game. I don’t think that’s a crazy take
For my umteenth time, I don’t get this notion of good D. He fell on his face allowing VA to win at the buzzer which still irks me. He’s not athletic or coordinated regardless if he was just 17 or whatever. By then a BB player in theory can walk and chew gum simultaneously. Don’t get this 4 star crap at all.
Fourth video here is the first video of Will that we’ve seen in a while.
Tbh probably a combo of (a) being 6’7” and (b) given his career film to date, I doubt opponents will invest too many bodies guarding him too close on the perimeter, at least until he proves otherwise.
No, actually that was Joe....oh, never mind. You wouldn't be able to see how accurate my take is anyhow.
