Newkirk needs to go

[gary2]

I do not care if it leaves us short on experience. I will take my chances with anyone new: Grad transfer, JUCO or freshman.

I agree that he's been awful but I think he's got the basketball skills to be a very good player. He needs some confidence and to learn how to play under control. It's almost as if the game is moving too fast for him. I still have hope for him......

His basketball IQ would put him on the basketball short bus for sure.

That's what I've been saying, but it's getting harder amd harder to say it with a straight face.

The guy isn't making much of a case in his own defense.

Skills? I just don't see it, skills as in his shot? Dribbling, where he hits it off his foot or or gets tied up by a help-side player? Surely, his horrific passing or his foul shooting have not impressed anyone. I hate to pick on the kid but I have never seen such Junior high play by someone counted on at the college level in all my days ( in basketball anyway).

I hate to say it but his problem seems to be between his ears more than anything else. Down 6 and we desperately need a 3 and he attacks the rim twice, the second time with less than 10 seconds left. Can he do math?
