Pape is better than Bear

No idea where he will be playing but in his Junior year Pape will be special. 1. Tall. 2. Can actually catch a ball. 3. Has a decent three point shot. 4. Good timing on blocks. 5. Avoids fouls. 6. Can RUN the court.

He needs to put on about 30 lbs. , and develop some moves under the basket.

Cherry hurts himself with unnecessary fouls.
 
Players are bad to mediocre. Roster construction is very poor. System is rancid.

Is this a surprise to anyone? It’s been like this for day one and there hasn’t been any urgency, just stubbornness to adapt. That’s one bad trait he got from his father, inflexibility.

But slow growth. Give it a chance. A leaf will sprout eventually.

Inflexibility and incredibly averse to risk and the mere hint of excitement. I hated that about Lon too.

wasting away DJ… finally got a pg who wants to run the floor and you’ve got a HC who pulls back the reigns because he has no offensive identity. The Thomas’ have gotta be livid, not a chance he’s here next year. What a waste

He can’t revive the program by himself … we keep recruiting him the top players from 24 hour fitness.

I have only watched about a total of one half of UNLV basketball this season and from what little I’ve seen, none of it is very good.
 
Not sure about that, I like Pape. He has an aggressive offensive nature that just needs some refinement, he seems to have a knack for rebounding and he has what can't be taught. 7'0" with long arms.
Unfortunately somebody will come grab him away.
 
Team toughness stems directly from the coach. Regardless of the talent coaches like Bobby Knight and Greg Marshall always fielded teams that were tough as nails.
 
Does it really matter who is better than who considering coach Kruger has shown he would be unable to win with a team of McDonald All Americans?
