It is just amazing to me that most posters think that Jordan has improved so much in the last half of the season.
The one thing I will say is that Jordan has just started to show his ability with a basketball. The reason that he did not show his talents is up to all the -

Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

QB Sr. Taylor Potts/Sr. Steven Sheffield – We’ve all annointed Sheffield as the starter, and I think that’s the case if we continue to run 99% of our snaps

lawdog – on the topic of regression, this crew can’t compare with the senior seasons Thomas and Atchley put up. Something ain’t right in this scenario. Mason topped out his sophomore year and Pittman last year.
Wangmene is ‘Manos de Piedra’ redux, so that was really never going to work out.

I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball

According to his MBTF profile (while it’s still up):
enrolled in the college of education … was an honor roll student since his sophomore year … involved with Future Cubs, mentoring elementary school children … has been a speaker at local junior high and elementary schools … mother, Kim, is an assistant coach with the girl’s basketball and track and field teams at Brenham H.S. … father, Darrell, is the head boy’s basketball coach at Fort Bend George Bush H.S.

Has society failed you poor Brandon? Limas made it out of the mean streets of Brenham. So far Roberson, Howard, and Poehlmann (although Luke should have been kicked off the team for that mullet last year) have all stayed out of trouble following their Tupacian upbringing in Bren-Stuy.

In all seriousness, prior to this event, was it known that Collins was troubled, that he was on a Ramonce trajectory?

How many players are on the team? 100? Then hire 100 Ken Ruckers. Chain one Ken Rucker to each player. Only unlatch chain for practice and games. Mack should fund this out of his bonus.

Collis did have some troubles in his past. Mack knew he was taking a chance on the kid and I think it will be the last time he takes such a chance. He has been burned pretty much every time he steps out on a limb for a kid with this kind of history.

from the comments in the Brenham Banner-Press story:
“BHS grad wrote on Jan 4, 2010 5:26 PM:
” Having been in class at BHS with Brandon, I saw how it was at BHS. Brandon got away with so many things, both academically and disciplinary, that other students and lesser athletes would have been crucified for. His coaches and mother interceded for him, to keep him on the field, in spite of his misdeeds and academic woes. I watched as he verbally and physically bullied other students, disrupted class and disrespected teachers and principals, only to be slapped on the wrist by the coaches handling his disciplinary issues. I wondered then how he would fare in college, due to the fact that he was never forced to accept responsibility for his actions in earlier life, simply because he is a gifted athlete. Now I know. I had hoped that Brandon would mature and be a successful student athlete, bringing pride to our class and this city, instead this happens. He was given so many opportunities that less-gifted, but harder- working athletes were not given, but lacked the intelligence and self discipline to take advantage of them. To those who will blame this on a poor choice, know that he has been making them all his life. His future now rests in the hands of the Texas penal system and I hope he receives a just punishment. I am sorry that I cannot feel sympathy for Brandon, I guess I just knew him too well. ”
Gotta wonder why Mack bothers with this type of kid. Sounds more spoiled than hard-luck. Apparently he needed an ass-kicking in high school that he never got.
