Are you telling we are better off w/ Lou and not Wally?

[RonLongshaft]

Seriously, this is not high school basketball, i don't care if Lou is a Sr and has put in his time if you suck and there is a better option you SIT!  Can anybody really sit there and tell me we would be worse off if Wally had been seeing the majority of Lou's mins this year?  This goes for CM versus Gruds or Russell as well...

Well all the Wally hype was fun, it will be disappointing watching wally tear it up at NC State or sumfin

It will be great next year when Colon & Merrieweather are gone and we can actually play McGruder and Wally over them.

Please, Lou has out played Wally consistently this year.  Any other conclusion reeks of LBBIQ.  (Not going to argue the McGruder/Energy point though)

You have not watched much KSU basketball if you believe this! And making a threat of LBBIQ doesn't make you right!

Please visit KenPom and get back to me.  Colon has a higher eFG% and much lower fouls per 40min.  Wally takes himself out of games that he is playing well in because he gets into foul trouble.   Everyone can dog Lou all they want but he shoots higher from the field than Wally.  Lou just looks extremely awkward doing anything, but that doesnt mean its entirely ineffective. 

I'm sorry Lou isn't sexy enough for you but he has been quite a bit better than Wally this year (I'm disappointed in this).

The frosh development is a fair point (look for it on the podcast with _FAN) but the evidence is wait and see until next season.  My worry?  That we have no resume going in to conference play because Frank didn't sort out the frosh rotation and build enough confidence for replacing 30 minutes in the backcourt.  Who the hell knows?  Anyone that expected this much out of JamSam and for Dom and C-Kel to be consistent after watching every game this season (and last) is mis-remembering.  IMO, Frank has so far proved himself more than capable in player development.

much better for the long run, seriously

Stats don't always tell the story for Lou's mistakes. Also, if judge could stay in the way Lou does after he makes mistakes then maybe he could develop more.

There is a pretty good stat for that, its called TOrate.  Wally's is higher.

are you serious? having a incapable Sr take up mins that a Fr that is just as incable could be using to gain real time conference game experience you cant duplicate in anyway.  Plus it does not look good for possible 'cruits seeing a burger boy riding the pine with no PT.

[kso_FAN]

Wally has had ample opportunity to beat Lou and earn Frank's trust.

That said, Judge will be fine.  And the "time on the court to develop" point is way over used.  I fully expect him to at least in part take over Jam-Sam's role off the bench next year and Lou's 14 mpg are up for grabs.  If he doesn't, then ridiculoud freak out posts like this one will be warranted.

I don't know why people worry about players that never play possibly transferring.

im not worried about it, it wouldn't shock me if he did but would surprise me.  Actually it would shock me, i trust frank has it under control it is just very frustrating with all the hype and talent possibilities that can be seen in Wally he isn't playing and lou is.

^pretty sure this is worrying.

24-4, about to tie the school record for wins and folks worry about things that are irrelevant to the here and now.  Kinda "phog"-ish really.

my bad I guess we should just sit around and pat each other on the back.  Don't get me wrong I'm enjoying the crap out of the success this year and soaking up every win.  BUT we are 2 games away and 10 days from tourney time, your only as strong as your weakest link and i don't know about you but I would like to be as strong as possible and to make it deep this year and do some AMAZING things.. and if having wally play more significant mins over Lou earlier in the year than it should have been done.

If we're only as strong as our weakest link, we need Vic Ojejlaele to get more minutes

you douche, im saying colon is our weakest link out of the 8 or so that play, so strengthening that "link" would be a good idea

I was listening to Frank the other day on 810, and he was talking about K-State's success this season.  One thing he mentioned was that K-State had "two grown men" in Colon and Clemente.  He noted that guys like Pullen and Sutton have essentially been three-year starters, and Curtis Kelly is a 4th year transfer.  K-State is an experienced team.  People don't realize how important that is in college basketball.  Sure, Wally Judge is the guy with all the talent, but if he's constantly out of position on defense, that's only going to hurt the team.

Hey, asshat, we don't want opinions from a guy who's team is on a losing streak.

Don't get me wrong, I want to have Wally improve, its just tough to find him minutes in close games and tough to keep him on the court when he gets stupid fouls constantly.
