a pitt fan's thoughts on pope

[ksuno1stunner]

He has a huge ego unfortunately. He yells at his teammates if they don't pass it to him and he only runs back to play defense about half of the time. He usually just jogs around and can get away with it. He can do some things at 6'9 that I have never seen at the highschool level. (Except for Kevin Durant). Herb is a great talent! But the two things right now that will hold him back at the next level is his outside shot and his vertical. He can do about everything except shoot from outside and he lacks an explosive vertical. He will be a SF in college and on because he can't bang and is not strong at all. The kid can literally be as good as he wants to be, but I'm afraid his head is going to prevent him from achieving that.

yea...i know it'll be nice and all to have the GRCOAT, but oj + herb = lots of drama S**T.  i say we wait it out and recruit pryor hard, and also to try and pick up dejuan blair for 07.

One thing you can count on with Huggins is less on-court drama from the drama queens.  If Pope "jogs around out there" during one of Huggy's games he'll jog his ass right back to the bench and spend his college days riding the pine.
