Theory on why our frontcourt is terrible.

[michigancat]

Perhaps they've been reading their "press clippings" and now have a "big head"?

Obviously Jamar & Curt read A LOT of magazines.

personally i think they played against a decent front court in their first game of the season.  i think asprilla is very raw (read has no real offensive skills), wally is still inconsistent, and JHR is JHR.  i really dont get the overreaction.  JamSam is hurt and CK didnt play.  I think the front court did fine considering the circumstances.

When in doubt, fall back on the standard:  "Frank probably had them do a full 2 hr practice today, and maybe even lift before the game.  Actually, he probably had them do a double lift regimen."

Freddy has mad offensive skills.  Now defensive skills...

Jamar :DNR:  He can't.  Bad eye.

JamSam is hurt

LOL, and I'm Lexington Steele

JamSam is hurt

LOL, and I'm Lexington Steele

so why did he play 11 minutes?  either he is recovering from an injury (why he only played the 11 minutes) or he is getting kicked off the team and shouldnt play at all (ala curtis kelly).

ocular herniation = bad minutes

It's an eye not an ankle it doesn't get worse by looking at the rim, either he can see or not.  I'm pretty sure that when he was sitting his ass on the bench he was still using his eyes.

He also appeared to use them last week when he was looking at us and told us he was fine and would play sunday.

Know someone, who knows some things, and said Jamar actually had a hurt eye.  This someone would know I'm fairly certain, but could not confirm of his knowings at the time since he was all busy working and junk.  Will look further into it. 

[Stupid Fitz]

They are all pussies.  Especially Jamar.  He refuses to take it strong unless it is wide open.  If any defender is near the basket he jumps and pump fakes 4 times in the air and gets fouled, then misses both free throws. 

[slimz]

Given that Frank has no problem calling guys out for effort in practice (as he did after the game last night with Kelly and Samuels), perhaps what happened was Jamar had a bad practice a couple of weeks ago and when he got called on it he blamed it on his eye. So ever since Frank's been like, "Another bad practice, must be the eye, huh?  Well, we better make sure we don't injure that eye any more by playing you in these exhibition games."  Trying to make a point that you better not blame poor effort on an injury unless it's actually legit.

Could be, but I think Jamar is just a pussy  

[Pendergast]

Sand, it's tough to get it all out.

[Barry McCockner]

Maybe the frontcourt looked like ass last night because there were 4 or 5 defenders in the paint every time the ball went to the post...hence the wide ass open looks from 3 all night long.  Hence bigs not as bad as they appeared, guards not as good.   

[Cire]

They grew vagina's over the summer?

[sonofdaxjones]

Nothing has changed . . . Jamar is still weak in the paint, JHR is a disaster on the offensive end, and Ass-Prill-a looked completely lost and befuddled out there . . . there's a reason you don't get all   about a Florida International Atlantic Coast Sunbelt In The Van Down By the River transfer . . . and it looks like we'll be waiting until Mid January to possibly get anything consistent out of Wally, which may not be a bad thing except for our tough OOC schedule.

Everything I've heard about and seen of Asprilla, except for tonight, tells me I should be   about his offensive game. Forget about which conference he came from, check out his numbers when FIU played good teams like Washington, Cleveland State and Georgetown in non-con. Pretty good for a freshman. I think his poor showing tonight will prove to be an exception.

Edit: Freddy also had a couple monster games against Western Kentucky, which won the Sun Belt and upset Louisville and Illinois that year, and almost beat Gonzaga to make the Sweet 16.
