Nuri predictions

Let me see if I have this right. Lindsey comes in as a big part with the third ranked recruiting class in the country.(I know he does not really count for the ranking). Everyone talks him up with people wondering how long he will stay here before he goes pro. Pretty much everyone predicts he will be our leading scorer. This lovefest pretty much continues until he misses two free throws to lose a game. Now he transfers out and he will be lucky to play JUCO ball and someone predicts he will be dead in 2 years. 


You don't have it right. Shocker.

If he ever makes it to school he's going to go to a school where a coach is desperate to save his job. I was out in DC this weekend and spoke to a number of coaches who all said Nuri's really good but he wouldn't fit in on our team/locker room. This ran from high major to low major colleges. Schools will also be even more disappointed when they see his fall semester grades.

Prediction: D-League

makes you wonder even more why lavin would take such a risk with nuri, given how public and known nuri's reputation is among coaches.  with such a young team, you'd think we'd want to stay clear of negative baggage.  hindsight is 20/20, but seems like lavin was going all out with this class to try to get us back asap.  think he's realizing (as we fans are) that this is going to take more time than what we all thought.

This wasn't thought preseason. Word travels quick of Nuri's shortcomings during practice, in the classroom, and in the dorms. Coaches and teammates tried to change Lindsey but couldn't nor was he willing. In Nuri's eyes he was king and everyone else wasn't treating him right.

Also Nuri is good really good and he had potential to be great but unfortunately I don't think he'll ever reach that.

All his character issues should have thrown up some red flags before handing the pg duties to him

I think the staff knew he was only going to stay around for one year.  Unfortunately, they had seem issues pop up like Lavin requiring surgery, 3 guys being disqualified and they didn't know hed respond negatively to actual coaching.  They expected Lindsey to be a stopgap this year anyway.  I just don't think they expected him to ditch the team mid-season.

I think the fact that the guy quit basketball should have raised a flag or two.  Makes you wonder how so many people can be so wrong about a player.  He was the worst shooter on our team, played lousy "D" Didn't board and was useless against a zone.  A real loser as a baller and a person.

Here is my prediction for the Harkless is Transferring thread for March 2012.

Poison- He is a loser and a coward! Just becuase you are unhappy with your job, school or significant other you should not try and change your situation but stay there and be miserable like me.

Marillac- I thought he was overated from the start. There is some 5-6 kid playing JUCO upstate who is way better. The staff should go after him.

Baldi- I heard he is going to Iona. Going to be the 12th man

Choz-slang, slang, slang, slang, slang.
Brother best walk across the street if he sees me.

LJSA- I predict he holds up a drug store in a year

DF6- I wonder how so many people could be wrong about him

Carmine-Benedict Harkless. I miss Avery Patterson

Bobre-I wonder what Sean Evans is wearing

HowCouldUBeSoHarkless-Iguess I should change my name

Dave- There is more to this than is being reported. I will not elaborate but if you ask me  I will respond with an even more cryptic answer.

Moose- I blame Harkless for the fact that Harrison shot 20%. In fact if everyone on the team transfers it could only help Harrison

Fordham-my inside sources tell me Harkless is actually an alien

KOB-Burrell was better

Dave
You should have a seperate forum where each player on the roster can get killed by the posters on these boards than when that kid transfers you can save everyone time  by just posting that players thread.
I almost wish Harkless leaves after the season just to see all of the attack posts by people who were creaming over him all year.

Didn't board

Didn't board

Nearly 5 rebounds a game, third on the team. Which at his size and position made him about the best rebounder on the team. Compared to Sean Evans, a PF, who last year averaged 3 rebounds a game and over 4 years averaged 3, 7, 7 and 3.

I thought you guys with season tickets knew everything because you actually attend the games as opposed to us fairweather slugs from Podunk? Oh well.

Gosh, I sure hope someone comes to Sean Evans' defense.
