If he had anything to do with Brucing the Jet, then I would argue that it is a little close, but that is just because I like shooting guards with scoring ability.

I think Jet jetted himself. I linked an article a while back about him not showing up in the summer and his teammates being ticked at him, I'm guessing that had as much to do with him leaving as anything oscar did.

But oscar picking up Orris over Gray was a mistake and a big one. No doubt.

what was the timeline with the whole angel, orris, gray stuff? like when angel said he would stay, we stopped going after gray? we had to promise angel we wouldn't go after gray in order to get him to stay? idk. trying to give this staff the benefit of the doubt but orris over gray seemed beyond ridiculous then and even more so now.

If they couldn't convince Angel that Gray could play the 2 and backup point guard if that were the case, they should just end it all

Those are good questions.

Angel announced he was staying April 16th.

Weber and Lowrey both visited Gray at his school sometime before April 15th and were supposed to come back on the 16th; Gray declared K-State his favorite and wanted to line up a visit. Visited Tech on the 21st (the next weekend). Gray talked about the K-State coaches not being interested April 24th. Committed to Tech April 30th.

Orris visited April 15th. He was still looking at visits to Pitt and Virginia and hadn't been offered April 25th. Committed May 3rd.

Maybe Weber got ticked that he visited Tech first?

Also the connection that oscar and Lowery were supposed to visit Gray a 2nd time and set up his visit on the 16th and that was the same day that Angel announced he was staying.

Weber didn't think Pullen could play for Illinois, so I could see him thinking Gray is worse than Orris.

I'm insinuating that the plan for Gray all along was to replace Angel. When Angel stayed it cooled both sides. And likely the whole time Weber was saving one scholarship for Orris.

Regardless, however we signed Orris and not Gray, it was a mistake.

Seems unlikely when the best team he every coached had 2 pgs on the floor most of the time.  I think he may just that bad at talent eval and choose Orris over Gray  :frown:

oscar has repeatedly gone on record as saying that the primary thing that went wrong for him at Illinois was that he was trying to please others (fans, media, administration) in recruiting rather than recruiting his kind of guys.  Maybe the Orris over Gray decision is just an illustration of oscar sticking to lessons learned at Illinois.  Picking the guy he wanted rather than the guy the fans wanted. :dunno:

I think the problem was oscar had some dumb sense of loyalty for Orris. I hope he looks at the situation now and sees that he screwed up by not going after Gray. I mean if Orris can't crack minutes at the 2 from Spradling and Tay, that's a really bad sign.
Title: Re: Josh Gray
Post by: kougar24 on January 24, 2013, 10:32:03 AM
Beyond that, I don't care how limited the sample size or how crucial the situation; when Orris has played, he's been possibly the worst player on the court for either team--this includes the Washburn game.

To this point, it is an interesting game to see the value of shot selection, making 2PT shots, and FT rate and %.

ISU shot 51 shots. 12-28 on 2s (.429), 6-23 on 3s (.261) for an eFG% of .412. 42 points.
Tech shot 51 shots. 17-38 on 2s (.447), 3-13 on 3s (.231) for an eFG% of .422. 43 points.

Basically a wash.

ISU shot 15 FTs (FT rate of .294) and made 9 (.600). Tech shot 19 FTs (FT rate of .372) and made 13 (.684).

Tech had the OR% advantage (.212-.088) but ISU had the TO% advantage (.164-.212). Again, basically a wash.

The combo of FT rate and making them won Tech the game.

I don't buy that.  Orris was committed to Creighton then decommitted and committed to Illinois and then decommitted.  He had other options.  Weber didn't need to do him any favors.  Weber wanted him.  Targeted him while at Illinois, lost him to Creighton and then got him back, then got fired so lost him again and then got him back again.  That's some pretty dedicated pursuit.

As has been noted, but seemingly needs to be noted again . . . is that the average Frankite gets a little nervous if a Freshman doesn't come in and show well right out of the gate.   Now, I have no idea if Orris is even capable of playing major conference D1 ball or not. 

But the average Frankite is honed on the fact that Freshman needed to come in and show something because of the massive peaks and valleys of Frank's recruiting, the regular Franking's because Frank made poor choices in recruiting . . . and are also jaded by Bob Huggins bringing in 2 of the top Freshman in the country, that Frank coached to a 4th place finish in conference and a weekend at the NCAA tourney.

We can't get a read on Orris because he only plays when the walk ons play, which in turn gives us a read on Orris.  Especially given how limited we are at guard. 

This kid isn't challenging Angel for anything any time in this life time.  Not only that, but he isn't challenging Will either, which is enough reason to Frank him.

We have Franked a long list of guards over the last 5 yrs that were all much better than Orris.

Gray isn't just getting minutes at tech, he was their leading scorer last I checked.

All of those guys showed far more, and got (slightly) more minutes on teams with better guards than Orris.  Orris will never be a good basketball player for us.  His highest potential is a poor man's Will Spradling.

i was looking at these numbers earlier when i made my post in the B12 E & 4 Factors thread.  the biggest takeaway for me was that ISU essentially played at Tech's level for an entire 40 minutes.  that says a lot.

they're going to have games where they shoot lights out and look like world beaters, no doubt.  but their lack of 2 pt FG and rebounding will kill them in the end.


as it relates to gray/orris/angel, i think people need to realize that guys like gray/angel/pullen don't come along very often.  more often than not, your PG is going to develop in his 2nd into 3rd year.  the expectation that he should be on the floor contributing as a freshman is pretty shortsighted.

I think the problem was oscar had some dumb sense of loyalty for Orris. I hope he looks at the situation now and sees that he screwed up by not going after Gray. I mean if Orris can't crack minutes at the 2 from Spradling and Tay, that's a really bad sign.
Isn't Orris a complete non shooter? wasn't he like the 3rd leading scorer on his high school team?

No he doesn't shoot at all, even during the scrimmage when he was on the floor for most of it he didn't look to shoot, not interested.

As has been noted, but seemingly needs to be noted again . . . is that the average Frankite gets a little nervous if a Freshman doesn't come in and show well right out of the gate.   Now, I have no idea if Orris is even capable of playing major conference D1 ball or not. 

But the average Frankite is honed on the fact that Freshman needed to come in and show something because of the massive peaks and valleys of Frank's recruiting, the regular Franking's because Frank made poor choices in recruiting . . . and are also jaded by Bob Huggins bringing in 2 of the top Freshman in the country, that Frank coached to a 4th place finish in conference and a weekend at the NCAA tourney.

no, we're saying a freshman needs to come in and play because we should be recruiting freshman who will come in and play. especially when another freshman who we could have had, is doing so.   it has nothing to do with Frank, but again, continue the "it's Frank's fault" crusade.

But the mentaility of needing Freshman to play is born from experience from the previous regime . . . don't lie to yourself zacker.

The Freshman that is playing, is playing at what was and probably still is the worst team in the Big 12, with woeful depth problems, that K-State does not have . . . and no, using current outcomes in conjunction with the way back machine is not applicable on any level in regards to what the staff was looking at on paper months ago.    Then you add the list of guards that K-State was targeting in the next class . . . a potential Franking of Orris becomes easier then the log jam that would have likely commenced.   Gray is shooting 38% from the floor, 21% from behind the arc, and has a negative turnover to assist ratio.   If you think that's moving Tay, Will, Shane and ArT off the block you're eff'd in the head.

Bread, what is Bruces history or stance on Franking kids?

There was never a legitimate franking at Illinois.  Some guys left the program early (e.g., Alex Legion and Rodney Alexander), but it never had a ran off kind of feel.  Just knew that they weren't going to play and didn't fit in oscar's offense so they left.  Both were transfers in to begin with so not really surpising.  Rich Semrau and CJ Jackson passed up fifth years of eligibilty, but they didn't play their first four so that made sense.  They still stayed on the bench for four years with no meaningful pt. 

oscar franked the hell out of that kid with the heart condition at K-State though, so you know maybe he changed.

shocked to see ISU (not good team) be unable to overcome poor 3 pt shooting (again) and lose (again).  :lol:

To this point, it is an interesting game to see the value of shot selection, making 2PT shots, and FT rate and %.

ISU shot 51 shots. 12-28 on 2s (.429), 6-23 on 3s (.261) for an eFG% of .412. 42 points.
Tech shot 51 shots. 17-38 on 2s (.447), 3-13 on 3s (.231) for an eFG% of .422. 43 points.

Basically a wash.

ISU shot 15 FTs (FT rate of .294) and made 9 (.600). Tech shot 19 FTs (FT rate of .372) and made 13 (.684).

Tech had the OR% advantage (.212-.088) but ISU had the TO% advantage (.164-.212). Again, basically a wash.

The combo of FT rate and making them won Tech the game.

I don't think it's really all that fair to call shot selection a wash when Tech's shot selection led to more free throws.

Who are you comparing to Haase?  Craft?  LOL.  Haase led KU in scoring as a sophomore and was Big 8 Newcomer of the Year.  His numbers dipped a little bit as a senior (12 ppg), but he was a much better scorer than Craft and Spradling.  He was known for hustling and diving for loose balls, not flopping and court slapping like a pussy.  Fail again, kougs.

Craft is 55% from the floor over that stretch, has 20 steals to Spradling's 4, and 20 assists to Spradling's 12, and they both have the same amount of turnovers, the difference being that Craft has positive assist to turnover ratio and Spradling has a negative assist to turnover ratio.   Spradling is also shooting 50% from the line to Craft's 88% from the stripe over the last 5 games.

didn't he have, like, 40-50'ish the first week while we were playing the non-counting non-con?

He's had 47, 42, 26, 26, 42, 14, and now 61.

To be fair, their schedule says tonight's opponent was Ranger JV.

I won't completely discredit the 61, but it was against Ranger College's JV team (really). Ranger College's regular JUCO team played Paris JUCO tonight. Weird scheduling.

I mean, Odessa playing a JUCO JV team? That's just strange.

i actually know a little about this.  if you could get together a few uniforms (not necessarily enough for everyone), you could have played any california juco you wanted.

He wanted Tech to hire Chris Walker, their interim head coach last year and the guy that played a major role in recruiting him to Tech.
