The 2012 Offseason Thread

I can't believe Upton didn't get moved. -
I told you they had no answer for Brandon Paul. No one does.

I love that Keady tree. Now that we aren't in it.

Them and Texas. Having Profar, Andrus, and Olt to deal from if they want. -
They'll need a big win or to in the big ten, I think. They just don't have any marquee wins out of conference.
-
Are you gonna be around after Saban teabags you guys? That ought to be a penalty of some sort. It is to all of us. Stupid Oregon and purple Kansas.
-
Together, but I'm not sure on separately. Will wait for scs to let us know.
-
They have King Felix, Tijuana Walker, and I think 1-2 more really good pitching prospects. We can forget about any of them for DeJesus. noted Just FYI. I'm interested in who else we can forget about for DeJesus Probably Mike Trout, probably.

Had to be auto correct?

Yep. I think he has a chance to really develop, but I kind of wished we would have red shirted him last year.

I'd love to be wrong, but I just think Gonzaga is going to be able to outscore UI. Foul problems could become trouble for Abrams/Egwu in a tough environment too. I list them because they're backups suck and UI needs them. egwu is the one that sucks He's a big man who's not even halfway through his sophomore year, he's got a lot of time. He needs to get to the foul line more and be more physical rebounding, but he's certainly taking a back seat to a Senior class playing very well right now (Griffey, Paul, Richardson...even McLaurin a bit maybe). Other than Paul he's still the only player on the team that has a shot at the NBA. Big guys take longer to develop, you know this. He will be fine. I like Egwu's potential and I think he's going to be fine eventually, but I don't understand how in the hell a guy his size gets stuffed as often as he does. It's usually guards from behind. It happens because he's not very aware of his surroundings. That comes with experience. There is also the fact he isn't an elite level athlete. Was he with his shooting touch he'd have been a five star.

Better than Hawaii. I think the time zone change played a lot into that game. Because after halftime we played very well, seems we had to get our legs. I'm glad we played it though. Got us ready for the Maui.
-
That's what I thought. Man, I think we give gonzaga all they want.
-
Is washington state good this year?
-
Damn, ok that definitely makes it a lot tougher. Has anyone heard what we are planning to do now that this series is ending? I hope we find another name program to do a series with.
-
And a true road game, right? Hawaii is very tough place to play, the natives are always restless....this should be that but a good team. I thought it was a neutral site game? Plus while we have some problem match ups, they don't exactly have anyone to stop Brandon Paul either. I think they'll win, but wouldn't be shocked to see us win either.
-
That's a bit much. Just bump it when we win.
-
Vince Carter? Who is the same year as Paul Pierce. It's been a long time for them too.
-
I think we will compete. We've played to the opponent a lot this year.
-
Is the game on tv? I couldn't find it on comcast anywhere. http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/157088/1/watch-wes
-
I am very glad that now when we seem like we are struggling with the offense we still are able to put up 32 points by halftime. That said we rebound like crap.
-
Ben mclemore is a stud. He's an elite talent. Also who in the hell was UNC's last great pro?
-
It would depend on the group. Like I said, I'd trade four years of a lot of guys for last season's Kentucky team. Great, well it's unlikely to happen for any team other than Kentucky. Cal's turned it into his brand and has his pick of the litter most years. I just don't see the enjoyment in blowing up a team every year. Which in a ways a good thing. It's good to have villains, I guess.
-
If a guy is going to be a lottery pick they need to go. That said too many guys are one and done and still have huge holes in their game they need to be working on. My issue with Cal is he's not really helping those kids, he can't because he has to force them out to keep the next wave coming in.
