I said if he continued playing like he was. He came out the second half and played outstanding. He was, and had been playing like complete dog **** for weeks.
It's really sad that I can read the first two sentences of a post and know it's from you. DOnt' you ever get tired ripping into our players? I swear if we won the natty, you'd still be ******** about someone.
I don't fault Hunter for leaving (I do fault him for going 0/8 with no points in a big game, haha). You never know what someone's family/financial situation is like, and you only have a small number of years in a specific phase of your life to make money as an athlete. If you need that bag then go get it, he wasn't going to get that Texas-sized bag here, and who knows how long this NIL gravy train is going to continue or what it will be like even one year from now.
If he had stayed here, would he have developed into an NBA player like Tamin is doing? Maybe, but he didn't, we'll never know. I don't lose any sleep over it, Tamin is better anyway and he wouldn't be as good as he is right now if he was splitting time with Hunter the past two years. Last year for sure, Tamin would not have played and developed nearly as much. So it's a net positive for us. Tyrese wanted a bag, he went and got a bag, and seems content with it. Good for him.
Unrelated (although he's maybe not here on the roster if Hunter is here): Pav's showing tonight supports my theory that he's a fine player, just a little small to get run in the Big 12. When playing against Hornsdown midget backcourt, he could score and be effective, six big points in only nine minutes. Also had four fouls in those nine minutes though...

Pavs will be fine. He just needs to play with confidence and assertiveness on offense like he did against Texas.
Best win of the year! I really dislike Texas and Terry. Horns down!
ZRF: TJ needs to XY and Z more and player T doesn't add value to the team and is pathetic
Posters: That's kind of a **** thing to say about a player.
ZRF: what was so negative about saying a player doesn't add value and is pathetic?
Posters: Those are negative things and uncalled for. Anyway, again, you also don't know what the coaches base their decisions on.
ZRF: you haven't provided any facts to the discussion.
Posters: you don't know why the coaches make their decisions and you aren't at practice, etc. Yes or no?
ZRF: rinse and repeat the same drivel until someone agrees with me so I can anoint them as an actual basketball fan like me.

This might give ZRF's posts a run for dumbest analysis of an individual player. No, it's worse. Tamin has obviously been dealing with the shoulder injury, but to describe his play as "complete dog **** for weeks" is idiotic.
I watched. Mentally, not sure how I made it through the 1st time. The amount of open layups we missed was insane. Rob and Tre had 2 or 3 unbelievable ones. Tamin had one where he hit the bottom side of the rim. Hasan had 2 bunnies that he just needs to load up and dunk
A play where nothing really happened, but Lipsey went full on Superman dive for a loose ball and just missed it, and was instantly up on his feet to check Hunter and make him pass it. That kind of effort from your point guard and leader is invaluable.
He was the only player in the negative foe the game and was -5. Not sure what the breakdown was between halves but I'm pretty sure he was close to a minus 8 to 10 without digging. In 5 to 6 minutes of basketball that's pitiful.
He's simply not good enough to ever warrant playing time unless we have 3 guards fouling out. Even if it means less than optimal rotations I'd play Watson, even Omaha over Pavs. He's beyond physically outmatched and is probably the worst player in the league that sees the floor and by a wide margin.
Makes less than zero sense.
No he won't.
Every time he's seen the floor he's been physically outmatched. He made 2 BS shots and had one nice drive in the lane, where he miraculously got by a defender. Defensively he ***** up our entire defense within 3 seconds of the opposition initiating their half court offense. He's easily screened and can't keep up with his man. The result is him getting burned directly or it necessitating constant rotations.
He's not a Big 12 caliber player and should only leave the bench in garbage time or if we have 3 guards fouled out of a game. He's got a lot of work to do in the offseason to justify getting minutes in league play.
He's terrible. We had a 17 point lead at the half and almost blew it, partly because of him and partly because of our bigs not dunking the ball.
I'm not ripping the player. The kid plays gard and does what he can. If anything I'm ripping Otz for willingly choosing to play someone who's already proven he's physically overmatched in league play.
It sounds like BRE had a great game! Positive +/- !!!
So you go from 'he needs to transfer' to 'ok we're good' based on two halves?
Have you considered why he's had a rough go of it? Do you really think he should sit out? The ******* leader of the team?
