Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2355835, member: 966"] I'm saddened by the reports of Chukwu's 'incompetence.' Eye injury or not, you'd think there would have been[I] some[/I] level of development. I guess if we still had Bernie Fine, he'd be better. I guess if we still had big man guru Mike Hopkins, he'd be better. Who's working with him now? Red? What is the problem with PC? You're saying he's clumsy? I thought, from the very beginning of last year, it was that he looked like he was over-eager, and was always out of position, both because of a lack of recognition and because he was trying too hard — spreading himself too thin. Is that not the case now? Aren't there ways to improve manual dexterity? I can't understand how it seems like it's only us that has players who 'can't catch the ball.' I'm hoping these were 'opening night jitters.' He's going to give us something. JB couldn't have been entirely wrong when he predicted a contributing performance from him [B]last[/B] year. I don't quite get the arguments that JB often accomplishes great things when there are low expectations. Even if that's true, it's not a predictor. We either have the [B]players[/B] who will surprise or we don't. It's not as if JB whips scrubs into All-League guys. I honestly have no idea what to think about this year. I can imagine Battle and Oshae having terrific years, and Sidibe being the player i saw in that one all-star game. But, it's kinda meaningless without knowing who everyone else has. Which team will be this year's South Carolina, for example. We could surprise some good teams. We could lose to some bottom-feeders by 30. I'm preparing myself for some fun, but a lot of inconsistency. I just hope everyone stays healthy, and that losses don't affect Battle's decision come March. Hope we get him for a third year.
