It's no code. Your assertion that only the most athletic players have upside is borderline reta**ed.
You should tell the coaches at all levels though so they skip practice and only hit the weight room to get bigger stronger faster since that's all that matters.
For years I thought I've seen players get better as they get older but they must just be getting more athletic. I mean, we all know that young Michael Jordan was the best since he could dunk from the free throw line. 90's Jordan couldn't do that so he clearly regressed as a basketball player
I guess I don't see his upside, he's not a big guy who they usually develop more over college, he's not athletic, he's not raw. He is who he is. He's undersized for his position and I don't think he'll ever be able to create his own shot. He has the least upside of any freshman on the roster I think

You didn't see Moss' potential either, so this doesn't surprise me.
Who does he have more upside then in the freshman class? This is one of those instances where you're just disagreeing me just to disagree

Well according to you, just 2 months ago Bohannon had more upside that Moss did. At that time you said that you thought Bohannon "could be good" and were saying that Moss was a "clear miss". Fast forward a couple months, now Moss has tremendous upside and Jordan has none?
I said Bohannon could be a good role player. I thought Moss was a miss because he redshirted and then was barely playing at the time. Moss is a good shooter, athletic and can finish at the rim. How about this, I'll rank the freshman on the team in terms of upside and you do the same?
1. Cook
2. Moss
3. Pemsl
4. Dailey (wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get there though)
5. Bohannon or Kriener
6. Bohannon of Kriener

You have to rank Moss #6, you called him a clear miss.
And many people said CW was going to the clear starter this year so they better never speak higher of Bohannon than him. Thanks for proving my point by ingoring my question that you agree with me on Bohannon's upside. I don't think our thoughts are that far off on basketball, you seem to be one of the smarter ones on here in terms of knowing what you're talking about. Kirk's recruiting philosophy is just something we will never agree on though haha

I'm not gonna hang him on this one any more - he's admitted he's wrong. I'm all in on getting him to admit the same about Jordan. He will.

I am only doing to him with Moss what he does to the board with Jordan. He claims that since 1 or 2 people said we wouldn't see much drop off at PG, he is then COMPELLED to bash Jordan in every possible thread. Well I will just remind him that nobody really values his opinion on Jordan because he clearly doesn't know basketball as he called Moss was a Clear miss.

This is exactly what my list would have been before the season. 56 list before the season was like this:
1) Cook
Clear misses) Moss, Pemsl, Bohannon, Dailey, Kriener
I'm surprised you have him over Dailey but it seems like a fair assessment

I've seen less of him so, Jordan goes 4 on my list... doesn't mean I think he's a bum or a bust, he's just not one of our top guys contending for minutes yet.

You mis read my post. My list would have been what InGoodCo posted......NOT what 56 would have posted before the season.
It's so funny you say that when I'm wearing my Cubs polo to work today
I was referring to twins saying you guys have similar thoughts. I should have quoted his post. That ruined my joke.
