Myles Powell north of the border
- Thread starter NYShoreGuy
- Start date
Unless or until Powell apologizes to those he wronged at the school he is considered persona non grata
Lawsuit or not, he should have his jersey retired. The best basketball player I’ve ever seen in a pirates jersey.
Powell and Hazell were about equal. Dehere was WAY better than either.
The only reason that I didn't is because the others played 4 years but I agree.
And while the numbers may be similar, Powell won BE POY, 1st team all American, and won the Haggerty as a senior. As a junior, he was 2nd team all American and 1st team all BE.
Hazell made 1st team all BE once with no other recognition.
They are in different tiers.

Jeremy had so much talent. How high he got on the alleyoops was amazing. And he could start a game with a few awful misses and end up going 10 for 15. If he played 4 yrs under KW he woukd have been a monster. That is if he didnt transfer to look for a more laissez faire environment. Could be a great defender when he wanted. Great size and athleticism.
Everytime I see a guy on a break pull up for a 3, I think if Jeremy vs ND. Not that this matters much, buy Jeremy had a higher career average, Myles first 2 yrs being the difference (and MP shooting .306 from 3 as a Sr didnt help). But the shot vs Nova lives...
That Myles was not the BE POY as a Jr, and was as a Sr. It was clear both Jr and sr yrs to me that the wrong guy got BE POY
Myles as a jr was amazing, but I assume the RU concussion was the reason for his Sr yr not being up to snuff. I was thrilled he got first team AA. But wonder how many 2g who shoot .306 from 3 make it.
Hazell never transferred, spent all 4 years at Seton Hall. 3 under Gonzo; 1 under Willard.
yes, i know. I also remember him saying he wished he played all 4 for (CORRECTION) bg (i mistyped kw initally)or something to that effect, which I saw as insight into why he never became the player after college he could have been. So I wondered if he could handle 4 yrs of kw.

The one I remember I saw on tv, vs nd, so pretty sure it was away And its gonzo, not gonxo, I hate typos.
Ego. He was playing at a very high level overseas but got in a major spat with the coach who was focusing more on a local player than on he. He quit the team and came back to the USA and his career was in a tailspin from there.
He was physically much more talented than Powell but did not have the same laser focus.
