Title: Will Spradling - Chasing History
Post by: pvegs on November 18, 2013, 01:56:39 AM
I'll just leave his here...

There is a good chance that Will Spradling will finish his career as only the 3rd Wildcat to score 1,000 points, dish out 350 assists, and swipe 100 steals.  The other two are Jacob Pullen and Steve Henson.  With a successful Senior season Spradling will find his name listed amongst the career leaders in several statistical categories. With at least 30 more games to play this season here are my projections.

Current Points: 799   
Projected Points: 1039 (8.0 per game)
Career Rank: #21

3 point FG made: 136
Projected 3s: 181
Career Rank: #5

Freethrow %: 82.4%
Projected: He is currently 6th but started the season at 2nd.  Hard to project, but will stay in the Top 10 and likely the Top 5.

Assists: 248
Projected: 350 (3.4 per game)
Career Rank: #4

Assists to TO Margin: 1.92
Projected: 2.01   (1.5 TOs per game)
Career Rank: #3
***Season to date Will has 12 assists to just 1 TO, but doubt if that trend can continue***

Steals: 85   
Projected:110 (0.85 per game)
Career Rank: 3 way tie for #6

Weber ruined Will. Such a promising career before. At least he still has charges

Really this says a lot about how terrible we were for so long more than anything else. Just amazing he's been allowed to accumulate these stats.

This makes me curious how high the on the list he would be in minutes played in a wildcat uniform.

If Jake isn't in the rafters, Will shouldn't be. That said, even if Jake's in the rafters eventually (and he should be), Will should never be. No comparison, IMO.

If Clent Stewart isn't in the rafters, then Will Spradling shouldn't be.

Will shouldn't be in the rafters at all. Period.

that was a joke.  i thought everyone else was joking too about the possibility of will being in the rafters because the idea is ludicrous.

Unless Will averages 25+ ppg AND leads us to a national title, no.

Will will finish his career with a consistent record of unspectacular play. Pretty much a slightly different (and better) version of Clent Stewart.

To be fair, not really a mush, they were/are both really steady, unspectacular players. Neither got a lot better over the course of their careers. Actually more similar than I thought.

They should put Will's jersey in the rafters, up in the corner by itself. Then they should take all of the other jerseys down and put them in frames and just hang them up out in the hallway.

Different teams; different coaches; different results.
One on One I think Clent would kill Sprads.

Clent would back sprads down from halfcourt into the lane and shoot a jump hook.

Then get on knee and propose to his girls while Will was still on the floor from trying to draw a charge.

Spradling had a MUCH better supporting cast around him for 3 of his 4 years, and still managed to barely keep on par with Clent rough ridin' Stewart.

Will was a shooting guard that couldn't shoot.  Clent was a PG who couldn't shoot.  This makes somewhat of a difference to me.

Clent and his family were never involved in any (alleged) player mutiny.  Win Clent.

Nobody freak out, at some point Jacob Pullen and Rodney McGruder will both get up there, Will Spradling won't. He did his job, his reward was playing time, you have to do something pretty amazing multiple times and be a fan favorite.  :bball:
