Very fair, un-biased assessment.  I was interested to see the upside comments on Samuels and his progress....this from a national writer and I think it deserves some thought.

I wish I could have seen Jamar's dunk.

I emailed Luke about Kansas State's team two to three weeks ago. Not saying just saying

I know exactly how you feel Paul.

I emailed Dicky V a few years ago about Hansbrough, and look how that ended up.

You did a good thing.

I agree that Wally probably needs to work on his post moves, as all freshmen big men do.  But with his athletic won't he be more of a turn and face guy?  Seems like that will be more his game.

probably more of a rebound and putback guy.  if he can do what juan patillo did for ou last year, that'd be great.

Yes.  This in particular deserves some thought:

Quote from: Luke Winn
He attempted just seven threes all of last season, making one, but looks like he's developed enough of a long-range shot to make an impact on the perimeter.

And I love the shot across the CTR bow:

Quote
"I don't understand why Texas is in front of us," he says, "when we return way more people that provided for us than Texas does. They have James and Pittman, and Bradley coming in, but they lost Abrams, who took most of their shots."

The guy didn't mention Dom Sutton at all.  Am I missing something because I'm assuming we would look a lot better when our best defender is practicing.  He is still on the team right?

Why?  That is exactly what that guy is saying.  He has a good point too.  I'm glad to get some comparo players to Kelly's situation.  Keep in mind that he does not say Kelly will be bad, but that he has no reason to think he will not be.

Yeah, its just a glass half full half empty thing to me i guess. Basically if Kelly is serviceable, it will be surprising.

"not any good" is still an upgrade over Ron Anderson and Luis Colon.
