MC recruiting class average at best.. Its becoming harder for Coach Lambert finding quality players.. Cost of school is toooooooo much!!
MC has 3 above average players in Bobby, Bradley, and BO. Everyone else is suspect at what they can do...

Personally, I like Holliday also. IMHO, very effective role player.

So, given that you are not that impressed with some of the current guys ... which of the new guys do you see making a significant impact?

mattgrubb · August 09, 2006, 01:51:34 PM

i like holiday too, but he is a role player, you have to be able to get those guys that are studs for these role players to compliment and that is the recruiting problem

I don't really see any new guys who have been there getting any real playing time, but maybe some of the guys who have not been there yet will

I think Q and Bowers will see a lot of time at the wings and Chris Orr will see a lot more time

Got an update on some recruiting news within the conference.. Both of the kids I had brought up about attending LaGrange will be headed to a school in Atlanta... Big blow for LaGrange and good thing for Da Ville

Girl? Apparently you've never met this girl.

I have abolutely no idea whatso ever what this means?

GSAC Killer · August 10, 2006, 08:50:28 AM

Both are my kids who didn´t like Da Ville so I was trying to find them in place... One is a Point Guard and the other is a 6´6 post player... They are going to an NAIA school I believe.. The point guard is the real deal he is just 5´8 but can flat out play...

It means you look like a man

diehardfan · August 10, 2006, 11:33:08 AM

I do... I look remarkably like bruce willis....

So Killer: The cost of MC has been pretty high for a while and there have been some pretty good players there...what's new that makes recruiting harder?? And you seemed to like especially the big man from Miami who is coming in...no more?

Have you seen the other newbies play? Can MC's "average" players make an above average team?

mattgrubb · August 10, 2006, 02:42:55 PM

yes they can, they have a great coach, but it is easier with better players, there are still some players in the system that could develop and become better and lambert will help those players reach their full potential, this is one of Lamberts strengths, player development
Piedmont is a great example of a school that just tries to bring in talent and not develop the talent they have to its full potential, i can list a handful of players that Lambert has brought in and they were not instant players but by the end they were all gsac and even POY (josh tummel)
Carson Newman is another great example of a program that tries to get the most talent possible and expect talent to carry them and that is hard to do
as a matter fact CN's former assistant told me one time, "you guys at maryville are all about trying to teach your guys how to play together and stuff" great quote for Lambert, i took it as one of the greatest compliments old Randall D could get
I think the scots will be a quality team this year, but we are used being really good, so that is the difference between our expectations for this year and past years
There is no question that Bobby Golden is the best player on the floor whenever he is out there, the problem is he can only do it for a limited time, if he could do it for 27 minutes a night, there would be no worries about this season, but right now it looks like he can only do it for about 15 minutes a night and that is about half of what the scots need. I hope Bobby gets in shape b/c if he does then Pat Coleman will have to seriously consider him to be the first Murvul Scot on a D3hoops all america squad.
Go Scots

Mr. Grubby:
I guess you cannot predict what would motivate someone to put in the work it takes to get all you can out of your body and talent. I hope I would put in the time and effort if I had the opportunity BG has, but it is easy enough to think you know what you would do....

I certainly think you are right about RDL's history of making players better than they think they are. The quote from the CN guy is a great compliment!

mattgrubb · August 11, 2006, 12:52:14 PM

Bobby Golden only has one thing he needs to work on for the next 8 weeks to get ready for the season
STAMINA!!!!!!!!!
I hope he knows his teammates are counting on him to get in shape so they can be as successful as they can be

GSAC Killer · August 14, 2006, 11:58:14 AM

If Bobby could get to the level wher he can play at full force for 3o minutes a game we are talking 22ppg and 8-9 rpg.. In my opinion he is that good but his work ethic is not that GOOD!!

mattgrubb · August 15, 2006, 03:22:07 PM

well, he still has a little time, we will see, i think one advantage these college kids have today is Mich Ultra, they can still drink the beer with less carbs, it is an unfair advantage

ohyeah · August 17, 2006, 10:31:39 AM

Bobby will be ok. He just needs to run a little more.
