So Sprads

[JohnCurrie is Weird/Gross]

why is goEMAW so obsessed with spradling?

He plays the most minutes on our basketball team and his dad tried to get our last coach fired.

I would love to know the mindset one has when he decides its a good idea to reply to a kim carnes post.

MiR, you are really dumb.

I bet Sprads would be an awful coach.

Agreed, and can you imagine him as a recruiter? lol

He's garbage on the ball.  The only thing I have given him credit on is he appears to be a good team defender.  We also have no evidence that he will be a good coach.  I don't know what about a below average, emotionally fragile tweener guard screams good coach.

not sure if serious, you may want to go to www.big12sports.com and look at the record book.  Doug Gottlieb was one of the best point guards in the history of this conference.  Comparing him to sprads in any way is absurd.  Will is a much better defender and ft shooter but every single person in the history of the world would take the trade off.

Completely disregarding their playing careers, have you listened to the two of them?  Do you really think Will will ever have the confidence and personality Doug has?

I knew that would rile up the crowd.

You should be ashamed of slamming your boy Zimmerman like that.

Meh.

The comparison was simple; both are coach's sons and their coaches trust them because they get in proper alignment most of the time and help teammates do the same. That said, Zimm is at another level because he has more physical tools and is likely a future pro. Sprads' future in basketball will only be as a coach. I'll readily acknowledge that because of Sprads' limitations if either coach had recruited a better player to play his spot (like Josh Gray) his minutes would be down, but he wouldn't be out and would still be playing 20-25 MPG. By February his FR year Sprads was playing 25-30 MPG and he has been playing 30+ since, there is a reason for that.

That said, he's got to be a more consistent offensive threat and hit shots, or I'm fine with Tay or Shane taking some of his minutes, but I doubt oscar is even considering that.

it's still a bad comparison. ask yourself this, how good would a college football team be with a bunch of ty zimmermans at every position? because i'm pretty sure that would be a great team. then ask yourself how good a college basketball team would be with a bunch of will spradlings at every postion? cause i'm pretty sure they wouldn't be very good. being a coaches son and having a coach trust you is great and all and yeah there are obviously reasons why will plays. but at the end of the day you need to have some players that actually make plays. zims does in spades. will never has and never will. bad comparo. will is maybe carson coffman or something.

Will's probably too scared to get or use his own credit card, let alone steal a few.

It's because he's white.
