I doubt that Hat knew him personally. However, no doubt that you have personal knowledge. Why don't you fill us in on the fact that drug usage and suspensions aren't any real indicator of his character.

No, I just wondered if Hat knew him.

I know plenty of highly successful and high character people that use MJ recreationally. Now, if your on a full scholarship and can't lay off it that is something else.

Have you got your head so far up Hat's backside that you feel the need to answer questions posed to him? :birgits_giggle:

The best thing that could have happened for Williams would have been to have played in a program where guys like him get their asses kicked by both their coaches and their teammates until they get with the program.

Yes he did. He was much improved from freshman to sophmore and from sophmore to junior. If you don't think so, no amount of games you attend will give you a clue.

Your statement is easily the most uninformed in this thread.

Please list your credentials since you're the beacon of basketball knowledge so I too may become a follower of the great shortgameVol (whatever the heck that stupid name means)

BTW, losing weight does not mean he got better.

Did you miss him developing a jump shot, how much better he was a the FT line and he did have that one post move...

Do you know Brian Williams personally?

Met him a couple of times. Seen him out and about several others. Seems like a big, funloving slacker. That's how he played. When things were going well, he was fine. When things were going tough, he'd sulk and quit.

I have no knowledge of having one's head up anyone's backside. I'll leave that stuff to folks like you who have experience in that area. I'm simply responding to your posts. If having suspensions and documented drug use is no indication of character, I'm not sure what would be.

You'll learn as you get older that stats don't mean anything without detail. You're not going to win a debate with this garbage. Wayne Chism was much better as a senior than he was as a freshman. If you don't think so, you haven't got the first clue.

That's a great point. The fact that Chism had no real improvement in his field goal percentage, points, rebounds, or three point percentage in 4 years was sign of incredible development by him. It's funny though as not one of you can give one example of something Chism did better by the time he was a senior.

I couldn't agree more with this post.

No one is contradicting Hat's assessment. Did you read my post?

That's the impression I had of him as well, but I never actually met him.

And that's exactly the time when it would have been appropriate for a teammate to kick his azz and do it repeatedly until he got rid of that whiny attitude.

His interior passing, footwork, defensive positioning all improved greatly during his tenure with the Vols, not to mention the intangibles that he developed in the areas of leadership and focus.

You're like the poster who claimed Poole should get the same respect as one of the great RBs of all time at UT like Webb, Cobb, Lewis and Garner if he got 1000 yds again this year. Threw out all kinds of stats saying it was proof Poole was as good as those guys. He said "what's your proof those guys were better because the stats sure don't show it?" I said my eyes. Much the same with Wayne Chism

BW is not a leader in any sense of the word.

Who that Pearl ever recruited was that guy? Toughness was never the hallmark of his program.

Never said he was. The post you are referring to was my analysis of Wayne's improvement.

We all argue so much that we have a tough time following which subject we are arguing. :)

The craziness of the message board:wacko:

His interior passing improved greatly? He averaged 1.1 assists per game his senior year and .9 assists his Freshman year. Incredible improvement there. And, no it's nothing like someone saying Poole was as good as all-time greats at UT. When a player comes in and averages virtually the same in every category from his Freshman year to his senior year, that's a great indicator that there wasn't much improvement.

Chism was a good passer the entire time he was at Tennessee. He was a good rebounder and had excellent footwork coming in. To complete his postgame, he needed a faceup game where he could hit a 10-15 foot jumper. He never came close to developing it.

Kinda funny everytime I reply in this thread about Chism,Yemi's name pops up at the top like it trying to tell me something.

Hat, since I fully agree with your assessment of BW, let us know your opinion on this Chism debate.

Or he could have gone to UT, battled thru adversity, lost 150 lbs, and walked away with a degree.

Stats don't mean anything without detail. You'll learn that FACT when you grow up. From what I saw, Wayne improved. And anyone that has a clue will agree.
