I know what I would say, FOAD, penis breath.
These "what if" comparisons have gone beyond ridiculous at this point. A great coach once said, "cowards and losers live in the past." Can't you be in the least bit positive and move forward? Try to focus on this year's team without rehashing what could have been scenarios like you have some sort of crystal ball. If you are that bored, go pull your pud or something.

Wow, its gotten the the point that the skinner lovers are so sensitive that you can't even mention something as obvious as player improvement. Sensitive bunch. I guess I would be sensitive too if I were proven wrong as quickly as the skinner lovers were.

claver2010 {l Wrote}:The season is less than a third over and many of these averages won't hold but it's hard to not recognize the improvement of some players under Donahue -particularly Paris & Southern.
Paris:
Biko coming into his junior year was expected to take over the reigns of a team that just went to the tourney. Many (including myself) thought he would be a better PG for the team, his development just didn't happen last year. We've seen a marked improvement though in his senior year.
FR-JR Year:
4.6 PPG, 36-121 3PT (29.8%)
SR Year:
10.8 PPG, 19-49 3 PT (38.8%)
Southern:
While much of Southern's first 3 years have been negative with thoughts such as: Is there a worse 6-10 rebounder, how did MSU/Kentucky offer this guy, etc. he has developed an offensive game that will take some pressure off of the perimeter come ACC time.
FR-JR Year:
5.3 PPG, 49.5 FG%, 65.9 FT%
SR Year:
8.5 PPG, 73.2 FG%, 80.6% FT%

Not going to bitch and moan. Both of these players are playing a lot better in this system. Will note that it is the "Corey Raji Memorial 20 ppg" section of the schedule, but I am optimistic that both Paris and Southern have made huge leaps under Donahue. Jackson as well.
Raji and Trapani have gone the other way, Raji's recent heroics against MD notwithstanding.

I disagree on Raji. He hasn't put up numbers, but he makes far fewer mistakes this year, i don't know the stats but i would guess he is turning the ball over less. It's a product of not playing as much. I don't think his skills or knowledge for the game have regressed, just his numbers. Trapani on the other hand has gotten worse ever since his first season. I don't know what is going on but he just doesn't get it. He looks lost on defense and doesn't know what to do on offense. He is losing his shooting touch progressively as well.

TW likes to shit on Raji at any given opportunity. He may not be the most talented guy in the world, but he is a hard worker and is a huge asset on the boards. He hasn't regressed at all. He will give us a shot in ACC games that we wouldn't have without him working the glass. Trapani, on the other hand, has regressed, because he has no outside shot this year.

Unlike Trapani, Raji got benched under your boy and lost minutes. Just sayin'. Seems to be a bit of a conundrum for you in always arguing with me.

a 2 inch taller Raji would start. Unfortunately the fact that he is 6'6 means that he can't get too much time at PF. He's been better than Trapani this year.

He has been better than Trapani, but not much. Note that I shit on Trapani as well. They are the two older guys that have clearly regressed. Paris, Jackson and Southern are thriving. Dunn is Dunn and Elmore looks pretty much the same.

TWB likes to dump on him because forever he told everyone that Sanders was a lottery pick in the nba and was told he was an idiot for it...he reacted by deflecting the argument to raji missing layups and has stuck with it ever since.

he does, he needs to go up stronger, same thing with trapani. they need to either finish with a dunk or slap it off the backboard and/or go up with 2 hands.

I'll say this, Rakim came in the most NBA ready recruit we've had in my time watching BC. He had the NBA type body and would play lock down D when motivated. Then he discovered dribbling the ball off his foot and the double cheese steaks.
