I agree, a lot to work with. Just needs time. Bigs take longer to develop. Remember Nick Richards? People were dogging him bad, until his senior year when he blew up.
Actually I'm being completely serious for our basketball guys who have actually watched his tape. I'm asking for guys who know more than I about his game than I do in order to see how he could actually develop in order to be able to get into a starting role in the SEC.
I have a love hate thing going on with Shaq sure he's went on to become a great person but man he was a bully back in college. The way he tried to intimidate our players in the lay up line before the game at Rupp never sat well with me. We then went on smoke LSU that game!
You take a well known coach with this roster and I think we would get more respect. I have a feeling we're go to earn that respect soon enough. Go CATS!
I agree loads of potential, plus we have two years of college level coaching and conditioning to get the very best out out of him. Albeit for only two years.
