Oh, and Angel is not now, and will likely never equal Jake or Denny IMO.
Really?
Look, I get your points about the situation, but Angel is comparable to Denis as a senior and Pullen as a SO. He didn't score quite as efficiently as either, but in every other important guard statistic he is equal or better. He was on pace to realistically be compared with Steve Henson for his tenure at K-State.
Look _fan, you can roll out all the statistics you want, and get all butthurt about my comments, buy my opinion remains, he's not the baller that Jake or Denny were.
He's the baller jake was at the same point in their careers from a production stand point. Who Jake ended up being was not who he was as a soph.
He wouldn't have equaled Jr or Sr. Jake, and I don't think he would have equaled Jr. or Sr. Denny either IMO.
While he would never be the scorer Denny and Jake were, he was headed to be the starting pg and the primary playmaker on a team that went to the NCAAs for all of his 4 years joining Henson as the only other cat to do it. They would of been 1a and 1b for best pg in school history in my opinion.
The only thing that kept Jake from going to the NCAA all 4 years was a bad schedule and bad coaching.
bad coaching is pretty much the reason everyone who has ever not made the tourny has not made the tourny
I was simply answering in the context of not making the Tourney all 4 years.
Oh, and while we're on statistics, Jake did
share the backcourt with Denny, and they were the 3rd most prolific backcourt Duo in K-State Basketball history in only 2 years together.
MIR you should stick to polling random college age kids, and could you share the "people of influence" at K-State who would be satisfied with the NIT.
