Your reading comprehension sucks. Can't say I'm shocked, though.

Hater lol. Doesn't surprise me that you have nothing but hateful things to say.

Can we please make an effort to spell our players' names correctly?

I just want to point out to everyone who was impressed with McRae in the scrimmage that he was playing exactly the same, if not better, in the RTL. I'm just saying you can gauge a player's talent from the RTL, contrary to popular belief.

You really can't. The defensive intensity isn't even close to the same as during the season.

If you think that, I hope you haven't made any assumptions about any of the new guys' talents since the season hasn't started yet.

I haven't made any assumptions. The only time I have seen this team play was at the scrimmage.

The season has started.

Nowhere close to the same. Its much like the ex highschool standout who averages 40ppg in a local adult church league, and every talks about how he should have played college ball.

I'm not downing the RTL, it serves its purpose and does provide a glimpse of things. But its not a quantifiable measuring stick for player progress.

These scrimmages do not nearly reflect the defensive or offensive intensity they'll face in the regular season, or even the preseason for that matter. Season starts Nov. 12.

I believe it was Pitino who used to not let his guys play 5 on 5 in the off season because they would develop bad habits. I have no clue if he still does this however.

I guess someone needs to alert the coaches the season hasn't started yet or we'll have another violation for illegal interaction with the players.

So I can't extrapolate from RTL games that McRae is athletic, a high-flier, and is capable of strong dunks? Because he did that at the scrimmage. Will it still mean nothing that I saw that in the RTL if he exhibits those qualities in regular season games? I freaking know that RTL doesn't translate to NCAA, but saying that you can't gauge anything from it is absolutely absurd.

I don't understand how you could say, "But surprisingly, he's turning out to be one of those guys you just can't keep off the floor," based off of a few days of official practice and one scrimmage, but completely discount RTL.

Because I never said that. I said if McBee can get minutes as a walk-on frosh there is no reason they can't fin minutes for McRae.

***** ME, you're right. Nevertheless, it's still relevant to what we're debating since you seemed to agree with Step, not trying to put words in your mouth though.

I'm the one that said that.

I've not yet commented on the RTL, but here's the thing about it.

Yes, you can take something out of it. But when a UT scholarship athlete puts up lots of points and high-flying dunks in the RTL playing against defense that at best strictly one-on-one, and at worst nonexistent, that's one thing.

When a guy does it in practice against other big, strong, quick, physical scholarship athletes playing team defense and trying to impress the coach, that's another thing.

Bobby Maze went over fifty in a RTL game once. That's all I need to know about the utter lack of defense.
