at least statistically. Smith was asked to do more and put in a different role as a freshman, and his coaching and program wasn't as good as what Denmon experienced.

                    So his ORTG is a lie? - tjwheeler UI - 11/1 10:31:44

                              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

                                                                                     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

                         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 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
