Duke Crews and Ramar Smith Dismissed

This may have been discussed regarding duke but if true is just unbelievable.

I have heard he was at a concert with Dane Bradshaw. That Duke Lit up a Doobie. A cop comes over and asks Dane to have Crews get rid of the Doob. He does. Less than an hour later he lights up again. The cops again see him do not arrest him but Pearl had to act.

I have a source on this but hope that the kid would act smarter than that.

Ramar Smith was a mediocre point guard--at best. He will be missed because he was the only experienced pg the team had, but he's not very talented.

He was better than anyone else we'll get at this point. And not just because of experience.

Losing Ramar hurts. While he had some difficulties finishing last year... and made some boneheaded plays at times... he was also a tough SOB that would take it to the iron on anyone. I had thought next season was going to he his breakout year.

If we get the Ramar from last year then it isn't that big of a loss. But the Ramar I've saw play has loads of potential. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he transfered somewhere and is an All-American before his time is over.

Yeah...after hearing your assessment earlier, I was surprised to see MM come in here touting him as a good guy to fill the role. Do you have more of a problem with his past and how he will fit in at UT or his play?

Maze is a MUCH better PG than Ramar was. he's not a better player perhaps, but he's MUCH better at the point cause he's a true PG.

He's not a great kid....bit of a turd.....academics are crap. UT may not take him.....

but he is absolutely a better suit for the PG.

What happened...did he cancel his interview with you?

I'm joking....I'd love to see you and Hat discuss his potential...

I've never seen anything out of Maze that indicates he can play with any effectiveness at the high major level. Smith has been the point guard on two teams the reached the Sweet Sixteen. Maze was a washout on a bad team.

A "washout" that was never 100% after suffering a broken foot earlier in the year. From all accounts, he's made significant strides since his time in Norman. Getting away from Jeff Capel was the best thing that could have ever happened for Bobby.

haha...ok. Well, I'm not exactly a novice, and I gotta tell you, I in no way agree with your evaluation. Neither does the UT coaching staff, the Cincy staff, or the UK staff.

All of them think he's absolutely good enough to come in and help right away.

Academically, well, that's a different story.

That's the root of my concern with Bobby Maze. I was informed that was the primary reason for Gary Williams rescinding Bobby's verbal commitment last month.
