That being said, how great would we be if we had those two AND Theo Davis?! :yes:[/quote]

I saw 2 recent Zag games in the Kennel, and against Idaho Theo was the last guy in off the bench in a huge blowout. He logged about 85 seconds of playing time, had 1 rebound and a putback.

After watching Memphis play last night, and seeing Taggart just stand on the block on offense, and not play much defense. I have no desire to see him playing for ISU right now. They were running a 4 man offense, with tags standing on the left side low block, waiting for a rebound. He would start boxing out for a rebound as soon as anyone would even remotely look like they were thinking of shooting.

Announcers - maybe it was Vitale - said Calipari was just starting to get Taggart to play as hard as they want him to. The kid maybe has the ability, but the desire and attitude may be missing?

Wow, I didn't expect this reaction at all guys. Of course I have moved on to this year and actually I moved on LAST year without them. This was a simple question to hear what people thought because I was bored and these two are having good starts to their seasons. It's a little unfortunate that you guys that have to be so negative. Why do you all have to be so bitter that people left the program; it happens to everyone. Just think how good Kansas could be with J.R. Giddens and C.J. Giles. Two guys that would contribute largely to their that school just like Degand and Taggart. Of course it's not going to happen but this is what message boards were created for...QUESTIONS!!!

Okay, I took my spanking, sorry...you have every right in the world to ask this, we've just seen too many "past" threads lately ...

How good do you guys think we would be with Shawn Taggart and Farnold Degand? Taggart is averaging 22 min 8 points and 6 rebs for the #2 team in the nation. Degand is the starting PG for NC State and is ave. 8 pts, 3 boards and 3 ast. I think if we still had these two we would be at worst 5-1. But that is my opinion, what is everyone else's?

You can add Tasheed Carr and ISU would be darn good. Impatience killed the program.
