I'd like to see Pullen and Sprads on the court together


So would I.  Especially b/c Pullen can dribble with his left hand.  We could put White Doberman (WD) on the right side of the court and Pullen on the left.  We'll be screwed if WD needs to dribble to the top of the key, but that's not really part of our offense anyway.  So, we'll be fine.  amirite?   :dunno:

Yes.  Its pretty clear from all the games we've seen that Sprads has no handles, and now that more film gets out there on him you'll continue to hear opponents coaches yelling "make him go left".  He's done a great job faking it so far though, I'll give him credit for that.

i never said he has no handles.  he is noticeably more comfortable going to his right. perhaps it is because he is a freshman facing better/quicker competition, i dont know.  he is clearly doing well i was only trying to point out that its an area he needs to improve upon before conference season, even if its just getting used to D1 ball or if its confidence issue.

I think it's because he's right handed... probably.

oversimplification...  if that was the reason i would say the same thing about pullen...

sprads is good.  gonzaga seemed to try and force him to his left and he handled it reasonably well.  of course bob knights boner for him kept getting in the way...

So what's Spradling's nickname now? Nothing Darren Kent-ish I hope.

White Doberman?






This is solid.

anyone not pleasantly surprised with sprads is a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

No one's saying he equals Clemente or even Pullen as a frosh.  But you should still be very happy with what you've seen from him.

no, anyone surprised that sprads is doing well is a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  anyone who has watched him even 5 minutes of offense for Spiece MOKAN should have expected this.

Sprads is basically equal to Pullen as a freshman. There, I said it.

nope.  balls still attached.  i doubt yuppercat is in florida.  but i will say this - i watched will play ~ 8 hours of ball with MOKAN.  it doesn't take a rough ridin' genius to tell that he could play big 6 quality bball.  identifying talent isn't hard.

Sorry Ladies, he's off the market. My roommate's boss was telling him today how "some KSU basketball freshman wants to date my(her) daughter". Said his name was Will.  :gocho:

It's going to be tough rooting for Sprads with klanswomen like the one a few rows up from us but in Section 18 going nuts for him and royalswild's buddy, and getting upset whenever they're subbed out.

Yeah, it sounded like he got an annoyingly loud ovation when he came into the game.  :blank:

It must've come off super loud on tv/radio, or I just wasn't paying much attention at the game because I was investigating the JamSam suspension.

Quote from: text I received just after Sprads entered
That ovation when Spradling came in the game was ridiculous, we love our honkeys

They both are quite homely though....looks good for Will in a few years.  Will be dropping a Scott Baio all over campus.
