Illinois I think

Yeah, originally from Carbondale, IL, but he went to prep school his senior year in Cincy.

Where's Tabb from ?

Carbondale, IL. Bruce took him right from SIU's backyard, and at a time where SIU was a more successful basketball program than UT.

I don't think anyone is questioning CBP's recruiting though. He's done an amazing job and will continue to bring in more top recruits.

just stating the obvious.

i would rather have Duke Crews running point than Ramar.

Then I sure am glad you aren't the coach.

You must have been in some state of acoma during last years NCAA tournament if you truly believe that.

 

[NEW COACH]

I wasn't taking up for Pearl and I know nobody questions his recruiting ability. I was just amazed by the range of recruiting he's doing. One end of the country to the other.

Sarcasm.....Although he could probably do just as well as Ramar can.

So... it wasn't sarcasm?

This is getting a little confusing...

There was NO sarcasm about Ramar being a terrible pg.

I honestly think lofton, prince, j-smith, howell, tabb, and give or take one more could do a better job being the pg than Ramar.

Wait... Howell?

Okay, this debate is over.

Ramar has been awful lately but imo will turn it up during tourney play like he did last year. He better.

I hope, because the talent is there. The guy is athletic as they come, just gets a little carried away sometimes.

You've also got to take into consideration that Ramar is a converted point guard. It is still, in some ways, a new position for him.

I realize Ramar isn't much of an outside shooter, but he doesn't need to be in the current system. It's Ramar's job take his man off the dribble and penetrate the lane (and I think he does that better than any point guard in the SEC)...if the defense collapses, he needs to find the open man - and if the defense doesn't collapse, he needs to finish around the basket (and I think he also does that better than any point guard in the conference.) He's also a very good rebounding point guard.

He's struggled recently, but he's still a difference maker when he's on the court.

 

[Heebs]

So, Howell can run the point better, even though he was benched in favor of Ramar? And then got 5 min against UK? Hmm...

 

[TreeGreen]

Ramar just needs to learn to look for that kick out pass. Sometimes I think he gets too busy trying to get to the basket and just chuck up a crazy floater or hook. It also wouldn't hurt him to learn how to hit a FT if he's going to be a slasher. JP has surprisingly hit a number of his lately.

Losing last night wouldn't have necessarily lost UT a No. 1 seed. Also, Howell scored 5 points in the 1st half. How would UT have lost without him? He also let Calathes drive right by him about 5 times.

The more PT Howell gets, the greater chance UT has to lose. Simple as that.

What does Howell avg a game??? Without his game UT would have last to UF and Probably a #1 seed! Simple as THAT!
