I have no inclination to get into one of your silly 100 count threads trying to prove yourself. I am confident in why we were interested in Carlton and has zero to do with my feelings about Dandridge as a player.
Another UCF commit today.
They lost (5) players to the portal:
*Pj Edwards
*Tyem Freeman
*Brandon Suggs
*Lahat Thioune
*Jayhlon Young
Taylor Hendricks declared for the NBA. Darius Johnson and Ithiel Horton are set to return
looking forward to some news this weekend, maybe hopefullyā¦
Dandridge couldnāt EVER avg 4 boards or 15 minutes a game in ANY season at Memphis.
Just cuz youāre big doesnāt equate to being GOOD. A HAAAAARD pass. Glad CKS wonāt even contemplate Dandridge. Heās a player CKS wants to play AGAINST, not coach.
4-star??? Perfect example of how stars aināt SHIFT. Sasser was about 330-400 and heās about be draftedā¦a year after he would HAVE been drafted.
Nate
What are you even talking about?
I said the kid had the potential to be very physical after an offseason with bishop!
I mentioned nothing about size, stars, minutes or points.
Wtf?
Potential???
What I said about Dandridge wasnāt directed AT you. I just responded cuz you mentioned a desire for him to play in the Fertitta Center as a Coog.
But now, Iāll direct this to you.
Potential!!! Dandridge has played FOUR seasons as the biggest guy on the court in college. He has never avgād more than 3.6 boards a game in ANY of those four seasons. NEVERā¦
Kelvin Edwards played one year with us and avgād 5.9 boards.
Jarreau avgād 4.3 boards in his college career as a PG.
Sasser(2.6-2.8) and Shead(3.0) BOTH avgād WITHIN ONE board every game compared to the biggest guy on the court any time Memphis laced it up for the past FOUR years.
After four years of game tape, you can miss me with potential. Malcolm has had plenty of opportunity to showcase his talentā¦and he sucks. He played for NBA star legend Penny, HOF Larry Brown, maybe Mike Miller, and any other former NBA players on the staff. Heās just big. Heāll get you one dunk a night and 3-4 fouls in those 11-13 minutes, while his +/- is negative. Heās sorry. Ohā¦and he canāt shoot FTs either.
Againā¦HAAAAARD pass. Glad CKS AINāT interested in a waste of body mass. #JusCuzHeBig
Nate
Terrible take, memphis kept recruiting over himā¦
duren, precious, wiseman, cisse, lawson ā¦ memphis brought in a 5star center almost every year
being relagated to the bench at memphis isnt a sign of being bad, legtimately almost every transfer out of memphis became a star at their new schools
not being a star on a stack team isnt a sign you are badā¦
and stars are probability not hard linesā¦ we all know a 3star who is elite and a 5star who floppedā¦but 3/4th of every 5star are a success in college and 1/4 in the NBA (almost all with get atleast an nba shot atleast as a free agent)ā¦1/2 4stars are major impact college playersā¦ sasser will be a drafted 3star, maybe 1 of 3 of the 40000 3stars
top 30 4star ā¦semi ojeyele was insane deep bench at duke, was like the 11th man his 1st 2 years at duke. instantly became the best player in the aac when he transfered to smuā¦
Oh lawd. I hate I even read thisā¦ LOL!!!
Side noteā¦ Josh Carlton avgād more boards a game as a true frosh than Dandridge EVER did. His soph/Jr. seasons, he avgād about 7.8-9 ppg, and over 6 boards a game in UNDER 23 min/gm. His last year at UConn he came off the benchā¦and in 11 min/gm, he STILL avgād more boards each night than Dandridge EVER did.
In my Kendrick Perkins voice : #CarryOn

#readingComprehension
You struggle with it! Or you are drunk already. Or both.
not trueā¦ again memphis brought in a new 5star almost every year he was there at memphisā¦ you are ducking him for not being better than a 5starā¦ which is a wild takeā¦ you can be good and not be better than a 5star
becuase he got pt becuase uconn was terribleā¦ they benched him when they got talent ā¦ he was the 3rd string
these are terrible take without any regard for context
Everyone fighting for bigs? In a day and age when itās a MAKE or MISS game? And being able to stretch the floor? The game has changedā¦
Nate
Easy, we dont want get this thread locked
Weāre not getting Loftonād this time around.
Nate
Uhhh thatās not whatās going to get this thread locked. Come on!
I stopped reading after you said Wiseman. James played in THREE games. So what was Dandridgeās excuse the remaining 30 games THAT year? Try again.
Iām done commenting on a big that IS big, and sorry at the collegiate level. And AINāT coming to UH.
Nate
People are passionate abt their opinions. Understandable. At least i stay out of Now.
People flagging that comment gets it locked
Im not flagging it, but randos on here might
yesā¦ bigs go for a premium in the portalā¦ this isnt the NBA. 4 of the 5 all-americans were centers
this isnt even a debate topic for anyone who followed the portalā¦
its a supply and demand issueā¦ not a style issueā¦ there isnt a supply and demand issue in the NBA
there are elite guards in the mid major, you can find useable guards anywhere, even in the jucoā¦but outside the high major there are almost no bigs, 6ā7 wings are the traditional centers of mid majorsā¦ and even among those with size, many are clutzy and dont produce (centers are slower picking up things)ā¦ every center in the portal had their interest inflated like crazy ā¦
its obvious if you follow the portalā¦ there were terrible centers with high interestā¦
its not as bad this year (but its early), but look at Kadin Shedrick (who picked texas) he honestly isnt that good to have been getting the interest he was gettingā¦ he had duke and unc battling overhim
No need to flag.
