Keep telling yourself that. You think I don’t think the “hear” was intentional?
As far as you defending him by the way - irrelevant.
Either way I’m done. Enjoy you’re evening.
Hugely out today

ThIs whole thread is Gold Jerry - Pure Gold, especially the Grammar Police, but seriously did ANYONE in this thread have it all figured out @ Big John’s age? I sure didn’t. I also didn’t have television cameras and Bloggers monitoring my every move and social media thought like the Big Fella does. Happy Holidays to ALL Pitt fans and here‘s hoping that Big John gets it all squared away and figured out AT PITT - H2P!
Why should that change my opinion? Federiko and The Twins are younger than Big John. And Yeah, I'd rather the others get time over him the way he is playing now until he figures it out again.
Wasn‘t trying to change your opinion. In fact I agree with it. Just sayin let’s give John a chance to work through some things before we write him off altogether - H2P1
I'm not writing him off, I said RIGHT NOW, I'd rather see the others, not saying he can't get back to playing well.

Hugley
Guys don’t like his haircut or his facial hair and expression that tells you geniuses exactly what he is thinking. It tells me what you are thinking. He is our most skilled player coming off an injury. He stuck with his coach out of loyalty based on his coaches loyalty to him. Half of you...

We were right and you were wrong still
It’s why he’s in the bench - and it’s not because he hurt his knee 3 months ago
what were you right about? saying it's calories in v calories out? not understanding there's more to weight gain/loss than science and diet? weird to take a victory lap over making fun of a 20 year old who is having issues.
The bottom line is if Big John was healthy and playing to the level he was at last yr Pitt would be a far better bb team . Unfortunately his play has diminished and those not recognizing that it has followed an injury to his knee , which is somewhat important in playing bb , are delusional . Let the kid get healthy !
Yes I was right about all of it
It’s why he was healthy scratched last game and is sitting on the bench
I think it was more than a tweak . Do you really believe a kid whose life revolves around playing ball all of sudden doesn’t give a
shit ?
Yes
Because it’s clear he doesn’t
He’s not dressing tonight either
And the team will be better as a result
I’m glad you know what’s going on and they’re not a better team without him
He’s been a net negative player/
Literally the teams scores less and gives up
More points when he’s on the floor
It’s that simple
This is such a bizarre quote. What's left if it's none of these 3 things?
“He’s fine,” Capel said. “It’s nothing physical, it’s nothing academic, it’s nothing off-the-court, just dealing with some things. We support him, we have his back, and we want to help him.”

Pitt’s John Hugley Out for Matchup Against Syracuse
SYRACUSE, NY — Less than one hour ahead of Pitt’s game against Syracuse, big man John Hugley is sitting on the bench in street clothes and not warming up with the team, as it appears he will not play for a second-straight game. Hugley also missed Saturday’s game against North Florida due to...

He’s been checked out all season .
Honestly it doesn’t seem like he wants to play anymore
This thread is screwed up, just like most everything else in the world today. That being said, the truth is with such a screwed up world it is a wonder that this situation is not more prevalent in college sports. There is literally no down time for kids today from an early age if they get involved in athletics.
I'm just assuming that from early on in his basketball life John has always been an admired leader and at the top ... with his injury and subsequent game shortfalls thus far it must have leveled and knocked all that down a bit ... especially now seeing from the sidelines that Fede has been so good and successful, and that perhaps for the first time he's not the best on a team ... I can just imagine his frustration and disappointment and embarrassment and at the least a certainly damaged and bruised ego ... not only for his own shortcomings but also a deeper angst for letting down his teammates and the expectations of his supporters ... I'm just hoping that he doesn't forget how important he's been at Pitt ...I also know how important a role he played helping to bring in and welcome the new recruits and transfers ... hoping also those of us in this discussion don't forget that too and ease up the tone a bit ... I just want him to work his way thru all this stuff ... not be affected so much by the noise within and without ... although it is fair to criticize ... I just hope for John some peace and happiness ... with basketball and his life in general ... this is the season for all that to happen isn't it? ...
