Victor. Ojeleye. :alleyoop: :block: :emawkid:

Lived in VZ last year. Really cool guy, also :thumbsup: at giving energy minutes. Frank's going to "...play him more. Sometimes I play guys who look good in pictures. Not anymore, I'm going to play him."
-
I really do miss Merriewether though. Even if he rode the bench he still was "leading". Hey, :ck: , take notes.

Kansas State Quotes
Head Coach Frank Martin
Opening statement…
“You saw the ugly side of our team today. We have a group of younger kids under a group of underclassman with no leadership. That is our problem. When your best leader is a junior walk-on, your upperclassman should go look in the mirror and figure that out. I just told Victor (Ojeleye) that I have done a disservice to him the last couple of games because he deserves to play and I have been playing the guys that look good in pictures. I am a little tired of the game being over and our bigs having zero defensive rebounds. They are good kids, I like them, but they are not producing so it is time to move some stuff around.”
On the play of Victor Ojeleye …
“I would think that when our rule is ‘do not play from behind in the post’ and number 34 (Al’Lonzo Coleman) catches it in the post, and the scouting report says that on the left post he will spin to his right and he does it every single time on every single dig. Then all of the sudden I decided to play Victor, and instead of playing behind, like three-quarters of our post, he plays like a man and all of a sudden number 34 does not score anymore. I do not think you need to be a basketball coach to figure that one out.”
On the Wildcats' struggles…
“I was not happy with any part of the game today. I thought that we were lethargic. I thought we were disinterested. I thought defensively we were bad from the jump. By no way shape or form do I want to take anything away from Presbyterian. They deserved to win today.”
On the immaturity of the team…
“It is the ugly head that our team has. We are very young, and we have no leadership. The young guys think that because we beat Virginia Tech two days ago life is easy. As for our lack of leadership, I wish Luis Colon was in this locker room. Then we would be okay.

Why isn't jake being a leader? :(

Curt started trying on the bench, did you see that?. He'd run into the huddles and started to point at people and proceeded mumbled something under his breathe. HEY, at least he's trying! :ck:

Yeah, he had Frank's back all night.

This team would be much better with Louis Colon in the starting lineup.

Jake is the quiet type.

But seriously, it was good that he was at least dancing with the team pre-game. It's gotta be getting pretty boring for him suiting up in that all black warm-up suit and just sitting there, unless he hates basketball. :surprised:
-

Well maybe not. But this team would be much better with Louis Colon playing the part of Brad Underwood.
-
We have 3 guys that have played two years here: Jake, Jamar, and Victor. Nobody else has played more than one year for Frank.

I was being serious. Judge plays defense like a little bitch, and while he had a good first half offensively against a church squad, our front court has looked pathetic all year. Asprilla doesn't play defense, either, but at least he will finish at the rim.
-
Who knew that the lack of leadership would be the bigger problem to this team than the loss of Denis?
I wish Luis Colon was in this locker room. Then we would be okay.
^ Frank. :surprised:
-
Losing Denis is a large part of the reason that there is allegedly a lack of leadership on this team.
-
I can't believe how much better we are with him. I mean he at least tries to score near the rim or when left wide open. Good for rough ridin' him. Everyone else wants to stand and and dick flop, if he wants minutes and can preform give him some time.
-
This game screams 30 point output from Freddy Brown. :eye:

Hey, Kel's tryin' 24/7.

VO last night was one of few able to hit open Js, thanks Vic for being there for us

All we need is a youngsters and intrinsic values mention and Frank will officially be LHC Bill Snyder Jr.

Taking your talking points from Snyder does not make you Snyder. It makes Frank smart about self promotion. Like how blue hairs think Snyder doesn't curse.

I think what he meant by that is that Jake and Curt and Jamar are famous and good for marketing and stuff. Nobody really knows who Ojeleye is, so nobody cares to take pictures of him.

Losing Denis was huge. What Frank is taking about with leadership is effort. Its his coach speak for "these guys don't try or give a crap". Effort is all he cares about right now. Effort is what drives the JYC style of play we saw Tuesday afternoon. I think we'll be fine as the season goes on.

But ripped. Holy hell. :eek:
