Maybe he felt he was being misused here
Well you said the same thing about Eugene O and whiffed on that one big time.
Hope there was the appropriate follow up question as to how a 5th year as a 24 year old at Oregon would benefit his future professional basketball aspirations starting at 25 given that professional athletics has a limited shelf life and most of his competitors vying to play for pay will have a 4-5 year head start in terms of age.
He’s very professional and measured, in my opinion. He doesn’t take aim directly at anybody, I’ll tell ya that
I did? You've got a lot better memory of what I said three years ago than I do then because I never remember saying a word about how Pike used Eugene when he was here. I also don't remember anyone questioning how Pike played Eugene other than that some that felt he gave him too much freedom to dominate the ball (which I didn't agree with btw). This much I do know. Eugene was a physical wreck and damaged goods when he left here and benefitted greatly from sitting out that transfer year.
Not super at all. I liked EO a lot but the team made it to the tournament without him twice. Some players just want to score and Pike doesn’t coach that way. It’s okay if they want to play on a high scoring program because that suits their abilities. Scoring a lot of points and not playing great Defense is not the only way to play sports though some people can only see it that way.
From what I saw I can understand why Jacob would leave and feel like he was mistreated. Most players and people are “me” guys. Most people don’t stay at their jobs forever.
Our best player was Myles and not Jacob
He was a top defender for us. Why lie to set your narrative.
You cant keep everyone happy. Myles is a special situation.
Read again and try to comprehend. I’ll slow it down if you need me to. (That’s a hint)
It’s constant from some. All I know is we were perennial losers and now we danced twice in a row. There’s more to a team and a program than individual players. And I like all of those who left. All were important to us.
No I think many of us would agree that Geo and RHJ are two of the best players in our program. I like all players and never put one of the other because you can’t win with one player. Period.
Geo is a superb player yes. And for a season, im taking Geo. But if I need to win a single game, im taking JY. When he’s playing his game he is a highly disruptive force.
What if the player that fans believe is an impact player, isn't a positive influence with your younger players or staff??
