Here is what I do know from being a player and coach...talented kids are just that "talented" the ones that put additional work in and are special and encouraged by quality people excel and get to play at a different level.....

Bottom line is the Illinois fan base (not ALL Illinois there are some Illinois people that like Mark Smith) are going to have a bad taste in their mouth about Mark Smith not even Mark Smith, JT, Pickett, EJ Liddel or whomever....

the real kicker is if Mark goes to Mizzo and turns out to be the player everyone expected.......then what will be the statement then....time will tell..Nov. 6.

so moving on to the next subject opinions are like cars (everyone has one just a different kind) so you are entitled to your Mark Smith hatred.....

Moving On - longtimereader MU - 10/31 22:18:30
     I thought the goal or purpose - ASecondChance MU - 11/1 09:01:05
     Looking forward to seeing Mark play, sounds like he - FIJItiger MU - 11/1 08:34:11
          TJ's scouting report below isn't encouraging.... - GapDaddy MU - 11/1 09:01:57
               Does TJ have a good history of evaluating BBall talent? - Momaninil MU - 11/1 09:37:47
                    So his ORTG is a lie? - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:31:44
                         Here is a stat. Illinois was 10-8 when Smith started. They - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 11/1 21:57:16
                         Science is a liar, sometimes. - kcnorthside KC - 11/1 10:49:15
                              So that ORTG was made up? - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:50:31
                                   Kim English improved his ORtg almost 30 points between his - tgr MU - 11/1 10:55:26
                                        Again, I agree MS will improve his 89.6 - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:56:26
                                   Science, you see, - kcnorthside KC - 11/1 10:53:52
                                        So, what MS stats from last year didn't accurately - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:55:22
                                             I'm just saying - kcnorthside KC - 11/1 16:22:46
                                   True he wasn’t good last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 10:52:41
                                        No one, including me, is saying he'll stay at that level. - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:53:42
                                             Mental has a huge impact on the physical results - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 10:59:17
                                                  Oh, so if a guy just fixes the mental side then - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:03:13
                                                       He doesn’t need all of those things - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 11:06:19
                                                            So 11th worst in P5 over 18 starts was a loss of confidence? - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:09:16
                                                                 Frankie Hughes had a 82.5 ORTG his freshman season - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 11:22:24
                                                                      And he transferred down to Duquesne. - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:29:39
                                                                           Saying it’s mental doesn’t put any blame on BU - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 11:38:39
                                                                                RE: Saying it’s mental doesn’t put any blame on BU - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:42:49
                                                                                     SO Mark Smith's mom and dad - ASecondChance MU - 11/1 11:51:48
                                                                                          Where in my previous post did I say that? - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:59:56
                                             It could have very well been mostly mental. It could have - tgr MU - 11/1 10:57:40
                         I value your opinion. Who would you say is better? - GapDaddy MU - 11/1 10:33:15
                              Who was better last year? - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:37:30
                                   Thanks. Who would you say has the higher ceiling? - GapDaddy MU - 11/1 10:57:55
                                        No idea about Brooks Ford. - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:04:54
                    I think it's probably sour grapes from him in hoping that he - StaleyTiger MU - 11/1 09:43:58
                         His freshman season is pretty comparable to Denmon's - FIJItiger MU - 11/1 09:51:23
                              Not true. Denmon's ORTG was 105.3; MS's 89.6 (nm) - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:36:10
                                   it doesn’t take much to watch games and see - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 10:51:27
                                        We were talking about his performance last year and not - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:54:58
                                             It was mostly mental (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 11:00:39
                                                  You are entitled to your opinion - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:05:44
                                                       There’s no stats that can prove or disprove - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 11:08:10
                                                            I'm truly amazed at your ability to ignore all stats - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:10:04
                    I equate certainty with aptitude. - GapDaddy MU - 11/1 09:42:07
                    He was one of the first to identify what a great fit - FIJItiger MU - 11/1 09:39:44
                         I'm certainly wrong a lot. Just like you... - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:50:49
                         OK so we can scratch off BB coaching talent evaluation(nm) - Momaninil MU - 11/1 09:42:30
                              Its easy to be negatively defensive - FIJItiger MU - 11/1 09:45:17
               He is kind of a mix between - FIJItiger MU - 11/1 09:14:01
     People's aggravation is 100% wrapped around the fact - alwaysright MU - 11/1 07:30:12
          It seems to me Evansville thinks more of Dru as a player - alstl MU - 11/1 08:05:37
               As far as in relation to the quality of the rest of the - alwaysright MU - 11/1 18:59:19
               We don't play Evansville. FYI(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 11/1 08:36:15
               I've read either here or PowerMizzou that Dru would be the - tgr MU - 11/1 08:33:35
                    Illinois didn't give Mark very many minutes - that's why - alstl MU - 11/1 10:52:43
                         He started 18 games - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 11:21:31
                         Mark played almost 20 minutes per game - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 10:55:29
                              19 minutes and 5 points a game - that's why they didn't mind - alstl MU - 11/1 12:11:07
                                   Its more because of recruiting - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 12:19:34
               RE: It seems to me Evansville thinks more of Dru as a player - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 08:18:02
          Not making players sit a year will reduce transfers - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 07:39:33
               Eliminate double transfers and escalate first time - alwaysright MU - 11/1 07:47:17
               how will not sitting reduce transfers?(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/1 07:46:03
                    eliminates most grad transfers - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/1 08:03:53

                         It is a website dedicated to discussion of Illini sports. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 11/1 10:40:58
                              Obviously, doesn't mean it's credible. - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:43:32
               One fundamental difference will be - FIJItiger MU - 11/1 09:35:01
                    Struggling is natural. - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:20:58
                         Agreed. I don't know how Underwood did so poorly - kcnorthside KC - 11/1 10:23:34
                              I do think Underwood failed in giving MS so many - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:24:35
                                   Could be. Well I'm cautiously optimistic that Cuonzo can - kcnorthside KC - 11/1 10:28:58

                                                  You're not very logical here. - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:52:53
                                                       So Underwood can't identify athleticism effectively? - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 11/1 10:58:11
