Hugely out today

The one thing that has made John special and most likely has kept him out of trouble ( given his background ) is excelling at bb . Unfortunately he’s been injured and it’s taken away the thing in his life he probably cares more about than anything else ( exclusive of family ) . Why would anyone not understand if he’s having a difficult time dealing with this . He needs to get his knee healthy and get back in shape and he’ll return to one of the best big men in college hoops even if someone else doesn’t think so ..not mentioning anyones name . If it happens this season great , but if this is just a wasted yr for him he needs to know that Panther fans have his back . Why old fat white guys who couldn’t ever play any sport at this level want to knock a kid whose playing injured is beyond me .
What are you babbling about? Everyone in here is rooting for him to finding his way…
 
John is struggling physically, and probably mentally. Fede has been a godsend and is dramatically better than anyone was expecting. still, I looked at some video of John last year, and he was really good. I hope he gets his act together, stays at Pitt and works his tail off and gets a degree and has a great life. Capel is handling him as well as possible, I think. If John leaves the team, Pitt will be fine. I hope for his sake, he stays engaged with the team. I think the twins can provide some good time at the post, backing up Fede, if John is not here.
I’m sure it’s been difficult for him. Remember - this spring and summer, he was ultra active in terms of recruiting transfer portal guys, high school guys, and was one of Pitt’s biggest salesmen to try to build a better roster for this season. I’m sure it’s been a challenge for him to see that better roster on the court, only for him to not be playing to the level that anyone expected of him this year.

Well said. This topic should begin and end with your post.

This excuse making for his banged up knee for his current state is hilarious
He wasn’t bed ridden for Christ sakes . This wasn’t some tragedy - he had a knee brace for a bit .

Why are folks pretending he was hospitalized?

You start a post questioning his mental health , his entry into the portal and claim he’s not that good anyway , I guess for you this is a positive post .

Ya to start this thread and say the things he does and then act like he cares about him later is ridiculous.

This guy likes attention. Well, he got it, I guess.

Listen muppets, there is a big difference between recognizing he’s not playing, knowing he was an above average player, hoping he figures it out and works out whatever demons are the personal reasons that kept him out today. Despite your insane ramblings, I wouldn’t want to see either of you self harm either. It’s not a good thing. Here’s hoping you muppets can discern the difference between basketball and real life stuff in the future. Merry Christmas!

But it is amusing to read some of the ramblings of these guys who find it impossible to separate a sport from real life and things that impact your life. They just can't seem to get any perspective. And they attack anyone who thinks differently than they do. That's why we have the Ignore feature on this board.

I’m not Elon Musk, I can take dissenting opinions and enjoy discussions with those I don’t agree with any aspect of life. It’s fun to make people see the way you do

Lol. You rarely make sense.

This is how you started the thread, “Personal reasons. Expect him in the portal at break. My official prediction”. Those are your words.

That’s not hoping he figures anything out. It’s a clickbait bs comment to act like you are really an insider….. remember when he was never going to play for Pitt again?

Maybe him figuring it out is him transferring?

His girlfriend is pregnant, the team dynamic has changed and an even in shape John wouldn’t fit the current dynamic better than Fede. A fresh start could be the best start for him.

Ya no doubt maybe a transfer would be good for him, I don’t pretend to know what’s good for others. But again, you didn’t do that. You started a thread with a hot take and “an official prediction” lol

Your 100% correct there’s a huge difference between real life and being a concerned fan . What your talking about is his real life and your doing so in a highly negative way , which you’ve done now for yrs . You have no idea what he’s dealing with or the best way for him to deal with it . With concerned fans like you who needs ……

Cmon now. I think you generally add good value here. But don’t act like you haven’t gone out of your way to tear down Pitt players with glee for the sake of winning an argument with someone (usually SMF).

Not accusing you of wanting dudes to have mental health issues obviously, but you sometimes seem to have a bit too much fun talking about how recruits or players suck.

We’ve won 28 percent of our ACC games the last 5 years. It would seem to prove my opinion right…

To be clear. I don't disagree with the content of your posts or your player evals. As you note, the record proves it.

I just think it's a case of your delivery. I think sometimes you'd rather win an argument with SMF or Wanstash than see a player do well.

He’s a miserable dude
Capel has been disappointing
But it’s silly to be overtly negative all the time

Lol yeah I’m miserable. You couldn’t enjoy yesterdays win by your own words because I may post something 22 hours later. Yet I was at yesterdays game enjoying it. Very miserable.
Yes very miserable

Your posts are all that is necessary to prove it

Only thing worst is your reading comprehension .
 
Hopefully I don’t get any reception in the dome Tuesday, if I post after the win you will not enjoy it!
Your post have no impact on me

I stated I/we can enjoy this team for being entertaining and playing well - so your stupidity is misplaced

As noted I’d say the same while buying the first few rounds
 
He’s a pharmacist not an English lit major .

I'm not asking him to be an English lit major. I'm not an English lit major and I know how to read, write and speak English. Anyone who is marginally literate can do that. It's not too much to ask someone to write coherent sentences.

But I have him and a few others on Ignore because it's so hard to decipher their gibberish and nonsense.

Do you have GPS ( grammatical pedantry syndrome ) ?

Maybe you should volunteer to be the board monitor .
 
Bro if I were you I’d calm down in talking about anyone’s command of the language. Have no dog in this fight but jus sayin.
You r aware this is a sports message aren’t U ? Who the f..k cares if you spell and use correct grammar hear ! People with GPS that’s who , look it up .

You’re (take note) the one who made the comment about English lit professor. Certainly you’re (take note again) aware of that which you posted “hear”, no?
