His instant messenger away message said, im sick of playing basketball here, i came her to play not ride on the pine, i coulda gone to any acc or big 12 school to play and i thought i would play so i came here.. there is a lot more, i will copy paste it later.

Yeah, he hasn't played much late.

PCR · January 24, 2008, 07:13:04 PM

wtf? This kid has played 4 games? Jesus &@#% these kids all think they are owed something just for showing up. Guess what--Bill Walker wasn't really all that until the past couple of games, and he's had about 5x as much game experience as Sutton by now.

ksu_FAN · January 25, 2008, 01:25:16 PM

Were there any messages from that WBB chick that left?

Yeah, but Sutton needs to play more now, because we'll need him down the stretch.
Why couldn't he have played during "mop-up" duty at CU?

Hopefully we see more of 'nique tomorrow, the guy is just fun to watch.

Sutton is the basketball version of Chris Patterson. Just looks lost out there right now.

Jesus Shuttlesworth · January 25, 2008, 01:36:33 PM

Very strange. All indications are that he will end up playing a ton of minutes in the future. He f'ed up on his end in the classroom, got here late, and now he complains about not playing? LOL. He may be "The Man" next year, and has a decent shot at contributing big time by season's end. Patience son, patience.

TheWildcat · January 25, 2008, 01:38:25 PM

He only played 6 mins! WTF! He should be playing more then that. Merriewether play 9, i can see why he's pissed, I would be too. Hopefully CM was just trying to prove a point.

ksu_FAN · January 25, 2008, 01:38:41 PM

He would be playing the same minutes at any decent program in the country. Only way he gets more if he's at some program with absolutely no talent.

Jesus Shuttlesworth · January 25, 2008, 01:41:09 PM

Could it be that somebody from another program is in his ear and tampering? Maybe even our friends down the road?

sonofdaxjones · January 25, 2008, 01:45:49 PM

I just wish there was peace and harmony on our team like other schools have, I hear back east a bit they even hold each others units when they shower.

He would get more playing time if he appeared to have any clue on the offensive end. He got in against CU and then got yelled at on the court by walker about where he was supposed to be, then a timeout occurred (I can't remember if we called it or if it was on the floor) and then out of the timeout DS wasn't in the lineup. Sutton does a nice job on defense and if he wasn't a mental liability on offense he'd get a more minutes.

TheWildcat · January 25, 2008, 01:50:50 PM

Maybe he'll have a break out game against gayu. And then will start the rest of the season

KSU187 · January 25, 2008, 01:54:06 PM

He just got here!! jesus christ, what does he expect?!?!

ksu_FAN · January 25, 2008, 01:55:39 PM

I think we're probably turning a molehill into a mountain here.

TheWildcat · January 25, 2008, 01:55:58 PM

Sutton! don't get mad get glad!

Sutton will be the man next year!

sonofdaxjones · January 25, 2008, 01:57:13 PM

I really like the one guy running around totally clueless offense, it really hoses up the other teams defensive strategy.

jsstuber · January 25, 2008, 01:57:30 PM

I'm confused!

About 2 weeks ago I think it was Brad Underwood was on 810 talking about Suttons progressioin. He said he was at about a 6 offensively and at about a 4 defensively. So which is it? Is he a liability on the offesive end or has he regressed?

sys · January 25, 2008, 01:58:27 PM

lol @ t. light.

Probably like this; top of the 3-2, he's fine. Individual man to man, again fine. Knowing rotations, switches, help principles in our man scheme, probably behind. Since we play man a lot, that's probably the reason for the 4. And I didn't hear that, to hear he's a 6 on offense is actually pretty good. I think he'll be fine, just frustrated and has an outlet.

This would probably be a bad time to bring up what Samuels last message said huh? Wow

michigancat · January 25, 2008, 02:11:36 PM

Playing good man-to-man defense takes time. Much harder to learn than zones. (which is why he is the point in the 3-2 most of the time.

Fixed your post for ya.

dubnation · January 25, 2008, 02:30:59 PM

Dear Mr Sutton I understand your beef but you have to realize you made a decision to come and play at mid season you could have easily sat out and played next year. your defense and energy will be needed by seasons end.right now the team is doing well and winning personally I think fred brown has more to complain about he busted his ass aff all year and started producing and he hasnt seen the court since. if we was losing we might have pity for you guys but we are winning and playing with alot of energy now so the old saying goes if it aint broke dont fix it sorry. keep trying hard and you will reap the reward soon enough.

Legore · January 25, 2008, 02:31:49 PM

Not really sure what he thought wold happen when he showed up to play at the end of December. He's several months behind the rest of the guys and the pud developmental games are pretty much over now. He's going to be a good player but he needs to show some patience you could kind of tell he was going to be high maintenance based on some of the comments he was making in the papers before he showed up.
