Dirtywater75 {l Wrote}:I did not see the game but according to the box Southern had only 4 rebounds while RJ had 12, CR 10 and JT 8. If your big guy can't score consistently - then what is he out there for when he can't lead in rebounding? And if he nearly fouls out of every game he should at least be delivering something for his aggressiveness. The first time you saw him run down the court you could sense there was a problem here. The athleticism is just not there for this level. And to think that Al had two scholarships for 2009 that could have been used on two other trees.

Al doesn't recruit well since he does not travel well.
You see all you stupids, a certain type of kid wants to come to BC (AL"S OWN WORDS!!) and Al doesn't have to do much.
Great Post MUDH20.
Gonzaga gets 4 guys 6'10 +..and we get small white guards from Long Island.
auggiebc {l Wrote}:I'm not sure how much more Skinner can do as it relates to Southern. I was at the game, Skinner was on Southern pretty good. One has to assume Skinner is telling him to stop dribbling in the paint when he is the tallest guy on the floor and has no hands. Southern is simply not showing improvements and it's very frustrating. Providence doesn't have a player taller than Southern's shoulders, yet Southern was non-existant in the paint on both ends of the floor.
I was sitting next to a couple of Providence fans who had zero knowledge of the BC team. They were in disbelief with Southern's play...especially considering his size advantage over everyone else on the floor. At times he looked lost.

74 - please stop spreading this misinformation that Al doesn't travel to recruit. There was that recent article on Biko Paris and how Skinner went out to Houston to see the kid play. I am sure there are plenty of other expamples but please stop saying that he doesn't go on the road to recruit because some idiot poster from EI claimed that he never saw Skinner at AAU tournaments.

Southern's regression as a player is a HUGE issue and its an indictment on Al's ability to coach players up and help them improve. Let's not forget that Sanders hasn't exactly "blossomed" under Al either (although we only have two years of evidence so far with him, and a fair assessment won't be able to be made until after we see how he does this year). Al has reached his ceiling at BC in my opinion and the program looks like it is actually going backwards now.

with your predictions about how great this team would be this year, looks like you might want to look in the mirror before callinf someone an idiot.

Six games into the season, and none played with by far their best player.
