Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 1209868, member: 210"] If memory serves right Bland was a hotshot 2g from the west coast who showed signs his first year. He was expected to make a huge jump as a starter in year 2 but then (you might have heard this snout a current player) forgot how to shoot. Amidst much controversy on the syracusefan.com board, whatever reincarnation it was at the time, Bland retained his starting spot over theorerically superior talent. The big difference is that JB started doing the JB shuffle with Bland's PT. Bland ended up transferring home to San Diego St where he played major minutes on a team that made it to #1 in the country if I remember right. Can the Deleware Bluehens start plotting a final four run next year? Will Cooney be a victim of the JB shuffle? I think not... Allen Griffin, Shump, nor Meshaun is on that bench and Bland was a much better all around player than Mr. Cooney. He miraculously learned to shoot again back home in Cali. [/QUOTE]
