When will McBee live up to his hype?

[EBerryIsYourDad]

Where is the deadeye shooter I heard so much about? This kid was supposed to be an unstoppable outside shooter, but he rarely hits open threes. I'm not saying he should hit every three, but I would expect him to be into the high 40%'s.

We need him to be a run stopper and a soul crusher against the other teams.

 

[Shaun1985]

Never. His shooting is a big part of the reason we are down by 9 right now.

I wasn't aware walk-ons came with hype.

I wasn't aware walk-ons came with hype.

When they get the kind of PT he does, then there is.

And I'm talking before the suspensions too...

 

[FittyElevem]

Remember that 3 he hit that one time? Back in the Kansas game. Remember?

 

[GAVol]

I wasn't aware walk-ons came with hype.

I was just thinking the same thing. He's a walkon that was playing about 8 minutes a night before the suspensions.

 

[EBerryIsYourDad]

His shooting was definitely legendary on these parts.

 

[FittyElevem]

Remember that 3 he hit that one time? Back in the Kansas game. Remember? It was about 8 games ago.

Lock him in a gym with Lofton

 

[Shaun1985]

And how many other 3's has he hit after that kansas game???? My point exactly. Pearl is a complete moron for not playing Tatum.

Nobody can come and this board and honestly say his shooting wasn't hyped when he walked on.

 

[Shaun1985]

I'd rather have Goins shooting 3's than McBee.

 

[arTfuldodger]

Yeh buddy, what a hyped pickup he was!! Wtf? He's a walk on buddy!! Minutes? Have you looked at a current roster? Oh and just for s+g's, what year is he? Give him a break buddy, geez. And what hype?

He's a liability on D too. I'm sick of Pearl giving him so many minutes. Time to play Tatum more.

 

[tnvols72]

Mcbee will never live up to any hype, this kid doesnt belong on the court period.

+1

The last 4 words are the key words.

How can you really rip a guy who's not even on scholarship and has been forced into playing big minutes despite obviously being a true freshman that's probably in over his head?

 

[TrueOrange]

he had hype?

 

[90VOL]

Mcbee will be fine, he's a freshman and a walkon freshman. It wasn't that long ago he made a pretty big shot against Kansas..lest you forget. Everyone seems to be panicking...calm down, take a deep breath and we have another chance this weekend to turn it around against Donavan's Gators!

 

[Shaun1985]

STFU Orange. You obviously no absolutely NOTHING about basketball. I don't give a damn what year he is. He saw Vanderbilt come down the floor and hit a few threes and chucked some bricks and airballs up to match. He didn't even LOOK for a shot. Just threw it up. I am looking at the roster and I see Tatum, a player that is 1000000X better than this. What hype? Seriously? Go away.

 

[ALock4UT]

There is no such thing as hype with a freshman 2* walk-on. Give him a break.

 

[govols120]

Save for one made three, he was HORRIBLE tonight.

 

[rfalliso]

He's 3 of his last 20 from three if he wasn't the white kid golden boy he would never play. That kind of shooting is unacceptable no matter freshman senior walk on or scholarship. He should never see the floor

 

[TrueOrange]

He's 3 of his last 20 from three if he hadn't made that shot against Kansas and our team wasn't shorthanded he would never play. That kind of shooting is unacceptable no matter freshman senior walk on or scholarship. He should never see the floor

you meant something like that?

 

[Hard-Knox_Vol]

This thread is ridiculously stupid..he was a walk-on with no hype. Pearl gave him the green light to shoot so don't blame McBee, even though I agree that he took a few that he had no reason to take.
