Can we talk Stokes?

Sounds like something that someone who was coached under oscar would say.

It's sad really.  To think that if only a few more of those guys would have scored higher on the play hard chart... Dean wouldn't have been robbed of so much glory and we'd have 2 Natty banners in the OOD.

Well, different stokes for different folks.

I think it's fair to give them the final four. I don't know which team is better, it'd be a hell of a game though.

Where I sit, we would've/could've had a FF vs Loyola with a healthy Dean. Just as we would've/could've had a FF with a rested non-double OT game vs Xavier when we played Butler, but both didn't happen.

But it's all mute, would be a legit good game, and I love Kam, but also no, most likely not won any Natty's with a healthy Dean.

 

I should stay mute on all things moot

i legit don't even remember which guy he is

We're still doing the ignorance for clout thing?

[Kat Kid]

Kam is not spradling/clent level for me, but i rate him like this

Jacob Pullen
The Flush


Marcus Foster
Denis Clemente

Angel Rodriguez
Kam Stokes

I don't think that team beats Virginia

Maybe, maybe not. The beauty of the tournament is that you play the team in front of you. I'm sure not going to be the one saying the only 1 seed to ever lose to a 16 would beat anyone.

No. I’m not sure that anyone in the last ten years is memorable. I’d be in quite a pickle if someone put a gun to my head and asked me to name 5 players from the past decade (not counting this year, obvs)

Well I mean this is all theoretical but Virginia did win the tournament the year I thought we were discussing.

He can say what he wants about the E8 team missing Wade but let's hold off on the theoretical championships for the team that lost to UC Irvine.

So, yes.

We've won two conference championships and been to three elite 8s in your lifetime. He was the starting point guard for 1 of each of those. He's the only point guard since like the 60s to have a conference championship and an elite 8.

While Kam's statement could be considered hyperbolic, I think it is cool / admirable that he loved / believed in his team that much.

That’s great, I’m happy for you. A lot of us didn’t watch much during the Webber years because it was a boring and loser brand of basketball. I watch sports to be entertained, so when I’m not entertained I don’t watch. Not a ‘look at me’ thing, just making an observation that I do not remember the guy.

I don't want to pile on but you were the first person to reply to schreds post of the article link. The article told the reader exactly who Kam Stokes is, so either you didn't read the article you commented on, or you were being ignorant for clout.

Pretty robust discussion from the 2018 tournament run on the early pages of this thread. I miss that.

I had to go back and look at the trash that I talked that was so damned out of pocket. My how things change

I'm gonna be honest Stokes was one of the most fun players on that team to watch especially when he was on and firing on all cylinders like he was the second half of the 2018 Regular Season. He had one of the nastiest jab step three balls in the league that year and my god was it a thing of beauty. Now that he is back and living in Manhattan full time I think is great to have him and around the younger guys during his offseason.

I don't like to talk theoreticals but I truly believe the guard D that Coach Frazier was able to instill in the guards over their time here was a thing of beauty and to see how they would match up with Tang's Inaugural gang would be so much fun.
I have to take the guys that were in MHK while I was there because that squad means the world to me.
So I have Kam and the gang winning against the Tang Gang.
