jfc. another frank martin late term abortion special. I'm sure this is all comforting to Jeremy Jones.

Like DPete but I don't have a prob with Frank running off those other juco kids. He took a chance on them, they sucked, and he said "GTFO." Sure beats letting them stick around.

+1. He's taking flyers on some last minute JuCo guys to supplement the roster. Maybe they work out. Maybe the don't. Maybe we'll get lucky on one of these juys (Jeremy Jones hopefully). But, really, are there any other schools that are taking JuCo bballers and turning them into NBA talent? I don't think so.

Unlike football, it seems like the Basketball JuCo ranks are a bit thin. In today's day of prep academies where the Brandon Rushs of the world can go attempt to get qualified for D-1 play until they are 40 years old, it seems like you have far fewer legitimate D-1 or NBA talents sitting on JuCo rosters.

If we were wasting 2-3 schollys on JuCos each year (Wooly) and running them out, I'd be concerned. As it is now, the JuCo suck-asses sit at the end of the bench next to the walkons.

I believe it's true that basketball jucos aren't as good as football jucos. That said, how can you justify recruiting yet another juco player instead of just giving Peterson a scholarship?

the grass is always greener... or the the next juco always has more potential?

jtksu · « **Reply #34 on:** August 25, 2011, 03:17:16 PM »

Do we know that Frank actually ran 95 off? Considering how long it took him to qualify, maybe grades were an issue? Or maybe the dude just wanted to be closer to home or play at a lower level where he could be the star?

dmartin · « **Reply #35 on:** August 25, 2011, 03:29:32 PM »

I recall a while back (weeks, maybe a month) Dpete was pretty pissed on his twitter account, but maintained his love for the Cats.... sounded then that he might not be with the team anymore.

Marquette's Jimmy Butler was drafted in 1st rd this year, played JC ball at Tyler(TX) JC. Only JC guy drafted this past year. Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom aren't lock draft picks but they are Marquette's best returning players, who both also went to JC's. They also have a good JC on the way in '12 in T.J. Taylor.

Marcus Thornton was a JC kid KSU recruited a couple years back, went to LSU, tore it up there, and is now a solid NBA player. Dwight Hardy, Gary Flowers, Casey Mitchell, Lazeric Jones were all decent if not very good collegiate players last year.

Having that said, the quality of talent being produced by JC's and their impact on major college hoops has certainly diminished within the past decade. Having seen Jeremy Jones play(granted it was 1 game), I'm not counting on him to be a major impact JC kid. Hopefully, he'll be a situational player who can provide an offensive boost when his shot is falling.

i've patterned my pickup game after dpete. gonna suck not being able to pick up on some new moves.

Like, you idiots are missing the point. It's not the he ran off every single juco, it's that his evaluations we so f'ing horrible that he had to run off every single juco. and that's just the jucos he ran off.

I know you guys like to latch onto players and not let go but, DPete wasn't really very good, save your love for someone new or go with an old flame, but either way you'll be better off and so will the

you know what i'm beginning to think? i'm beginning to think that sonofabitch frank martin recruits super lazy very talented players on purpose to prove some sort of point to his less talented but still talented players.

If you don’t have the level attraction to 95 that he had towards the rim, you can suck 1,000 dicks... no homo

CNS · « **Reply #44 on:** August 25, 2011, 07:20:25 PM »

Was looking forward to 95's rim attacks more than anything else this season.

<--but insanely fast and at the rim with a basketball and never even a thought of an assist.

All I can say now is that Shane better still be sexy and Rod better dunk on TX again. Take what's left and hold on tight.

Mixed-Nutz · « **Reply #45 on:** August 25, 2011, 07:25:11 PM »

This can only mean shane gone next year, because frank wants to put us in the ultimate pain... and we know someone is leaving

Frank is a lot like the director (can't remember who) that used to always hire someone just to fire them in front of the crew to make an impression.

He didn't get walking papers. He just didn't get a scholarship.
