Q&A: Abdelmassih breaks down DeAndre Kane

MA:It really gives us stability and that’s not to discredit when Bubu Palo and Monte Morris can bring to the table. Bubu is as solid of a rock for us as there is. Bubu will be an instrumental piece to us winning a lot of games next year. Monte Morris, we all know how good he can be but nonetheless he is still a freshman.

Anyone think it was odd he went in detail about how tbis wasnt a knock to morris or bubu with no mention of naz?


I took this as a bookend comment ... making reference to a senior and a freshman.

I dont know...we have 3 pgs on roster and we bring In a 4th and he only mentions the 2 and provides detail why this doesnt undermine their value. I thought it was at the very least an interesting omission. If nothing else telling that he doesn't see naz as in the mix as the other 3 at point guard.

I thought it was a little intriguing. I don't know how much stock I would put in to it, however.
 
If enough of the posts work out to provide quality depth, perhaps we will see more pressing this year. Kane certainly seemed to feast on turnovers leading to the break at Marshall. I would love to see more of this depth becoming a factor for Fred. It probably would help Fred keep more players happy, engaged and around.
 
BINGO! Hey, someone on here gets it.

I said that the question had to be asked. I never said I expected an answer.

How about next time you want to go on an asinine rant, you just assume CW asked and save everybody the time.
 
yes sorry edited my post to add "at point guard" which Is what I meant.

I would have been more surprised if he had listed Long. Last November Hines of the Tribune stated the staff viewed Long as an off-guard, and I think we saw as much last season. Prior to bubu returning Long only played a few (sub-par) minutes at pg, and none after bubu returned

Thanks was not aware of that shift in thinking on him.

It was a shift for me, but it sounded like that is how the staff always viewed Long's game translating to the Big 12.
It is one reason why i am still high on Long. He is a bigger guard and fairly athletic. He does have some pg skills, but is probably not a high level pg. As a traditional pg in a system that really lives up to position labels, he may not succeed. For a coach like Fred that knows how to utilize mismatches and combo guards, I think he could be a great utility guard.

All I said is that the question needed to be asked.... that's it. Then everyone went ape s**t on me, as usual. It's the thing to do around here, haven't you been on here much?

From then on, I've basically been just trying to defend my statement that the question needed to be asked. I suppose I should have just laid down and taken a beating instead of standing up for my position, huh?
 
Jesus ****** this ******* thread sucks.

It should of been a real good one and something made it go tilt.

You should tap out instead of getting your arm snapped off. Either way you are getting your *** kicked.

There's a very important difference between a guy who essentially covers a beat like CW does for ISU or a guy like Bryce Miller at the Register. I think you need to figure that our before you keep defending your position.
 
Is that why Aaron Law moved on because usually the number of walkons are limited?

If Law is moving on, I'd suspect it would be so he could play more somewhere and/or not have to pay out-of-state tuition somewhere.

He isn't on the cyclones.com current roster

Yeah, I guess you're right, I should know better than to expect people to having reading comprehension.

I love when I post something, then a bunch of people read things into what I said, that I didn't say, and then beat me up about it. Who's fault is that again that a bunch of you couldn't understand what I clearly posted? Oh yeah, it's my fault. Whatever.

I love the hatred on this site. It's unbelievable. There's a certain group of people on here that would rip my head off no matter what I post. Heck, I'm not sure if some even read what I written when I see their posts ripping on me. They don't make sense. They're just ripping me about things I didn't even say. Kinda like this thread.

But hey, whatever. If it's fun for you guys, then so be it. Have at it.
