Rex compares Quade Green with Anthony Epps

[anon_9qtxg60vqzy0y]

Good comparison IMO. Epps was a tough, hard-nosed PG who made everyone around him better.

We don't win in 96 without Epps.

I hope Quade ends up being as good as AE.

Really like how Rex has cleaned it up and embraced UK in a positive way. He's one of my all time favorites.

I hadn't thought about Epps, but that's a comparison that makes some sense to me. Neither would be considered great athletes (compared to their major Div. I peers), but Epps was a smart player who knew how to play the point and run a team well. I think Greene has the same look and potential.

Epps was a great 4 year player. Let’s see if Quade has any interest in being that.

I hope this turns out to be true. Not even close at this point, albeit early in his career.

A very good comparison actually. They have similar size, similar PG skills and both of them are good shooters. Neither are freak athletes, but that doesn't bother me at all. I love the idea of having Quade around for more than a year.

What's that saying about "the last refuge of a scoundrel..."

All I know is Rex did nothing but distance himself from us and badmouth us during those years when he was living the high life in the NBA. It was only after he got fired from multiple jobs and disgraced that he started acting like he liked UK again (and immediately started trying to cash in off the BBN by selling us his cheap merchandise..).

But, whatever, we're a forgiving sort, so we can forgive Rex. But pardon me if I doubt he'd have ever had this newfound interest in re-joining the UK family if his shiny life out West hadn't gone to crap.

Maybe Cal can find a 4 year Wayne Turner to go with him.:smiley:

This.

Love that Quade is a hard worker who claims hes committed to getting better on defense. Hes a good passer and controls the game well. If he upped his defense he would be very good. I know hes limited with his size but i really like his mindset as a player

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

I like the comparison but Epps was a better defender and Green is a better shooter and scorer.

 

[ala_kat2]

Quade G. with a solid game tonight on the offensive end with 21.

And the rumor mill he started the night of a National title game vs uconn about cal leaving. I wrote him off that night.

Green as a freshman is way better than Epps as a freshman
